similar to: acts_as_list with the scope on boolean field

I have the model that acts as list acts_as_list :scope => ''featured=1'' As you can see, I only need to order the records that are featured. However, from time to time I switch some featured items off and mark others as featured. When this is done, I start getting dublicate numbers on the list and ordering starts getting problem... What would be the good approach to

Hello, I''ve tried to set up a class with acts_as_list with a scope argument that restricts a list to records with the same foreign key. For example : database : CREATE TABLE `families` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '''', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ; INSERT INTO

So i had a boolean attribute in my model which gets interpreted to tinyint(1) in mysql by rails migrations. Now tinyint(1) accepts a range in mysql and i want to change my boolean attribute to an attribute which can accept 3 values(0,1,2). I made the change to the view and when i post the form selecting the selecting the value ''2'', it still gets saved as a ''0''.

Hi ! There must be something I don''t understand clearly in acts_as_list I have a list of gallery entries (images + text), model is GalleryEntry. I have a field in_exhibition (boolean) I want the list to be sorted with a scope on in_exhibition : from 1 to N for every record having in_exhibition = false and 1 to N for every record having in_exhibition = true When I use acts_as_list

this may seem silly but i just noticed that if in mysql the column which is a tinyint(1) happens 2 or greater, by a chance of glitch or corruption in the database(i did it manually ofcourse but i am speaking hypothetically), rails would see it as false. but i find that really wrong seeing how in mysql it sees any non-zeroes as true. i really think if it does happen to be any number other than 1

I''m running into a situation where I''d like to provide the list scope for an acts_as_list model from one step removed. In minimalistic form (with several other associations removed from each level). class MainEntity < AcrtiveRecord::Base has_many :containers end class Container < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :elements belongs_to :main_entity end class

Here''s what I''m trying to do: class Model < AR::Base acts_as_list :scope => [:key_one_id, :key_two_id, :key_three_id] end with the idea being that there are these three references from this table (one of them being optional) that define the list. I don''t think acts as nested set works in this situation because I''m still just dealing with a single list

Hi Railers, I''ve got a Categories table. I want it to act as a list within the scope of the parent_id AND the site_id. Categories table : id label site_id parent_id So, in my Category class, I have : acts_as_list :scope => ''site_id = #{site_id} AND parent_id = # {parent_id}'' The problem is that when I try to move_up a Category with a parent_id that is null,

Hi, I have in my simplistic app: class Album has_many :pics, :order => :position end class Pic belongs_to :album acts_as_list :scope => ::album end It all works fine when creating a new pic from the forms. But, when trying to move a pic between albums, the album changes Ok, but no matter what I do the position attribute stays the same and the list navigation is broken. So far,

Hey all I've been running a Dovecot 1X server for awhile. Most of the config was pretty simple using flat files. I'm switching to Dovecot 2X now, and want to switch to using SQL for lookups so I can share info with the Postfix front end. For starters I setup two SIMPLE SQL tables -- a 'users' table and a 'aliases' table, where each user can have many aliases. I want to

Hello! I''ve modified ActiveRecord a bit to support enum columns. This is tested only with MySQL, and maybe needs some changes for other adapters (if they use another syntax or quoting style). I believe this patch should be tested well, so I haven''t (yet) tried to post it to the official Trac. It is also not solid-as-a-rock when it comes to quoting ENUM values. After

[using RAILs 1.1.2] Has anyone else seen issues where multiple tiered "acts_as_list" models do not CASCADE delete correctly? For instance, I have 4 models, the first 3 in the hierarchy have the appropriate "have_many" declarations with "exclusively_dependent => true".

I have a Person model and I''m using acts_as_list so I can have drag/drop positioning of people. The only thing is, I want to be able to differentiate between male and female, ie. sort males separately from females. It seems completely useless to have two separate models since all the other attributes of a person are the same (name, address etc) Does acts_as_list allow ordering by, say,
