similar to: Getting Acts_as_Paranoid to work with validates_uniqueness_of

Sorry, but this is really NOT as easy as the tutorials/books make out. I''m really struggling at the first hurdle here. And while I''m not a programmer by design I do know my way around most stuff. And if I can''t get this to work I suspect more people will have the same issues. There seems to be too many variables to address. I have winXP, I have ruby and rails all

Trying this straight from the README: I have acts_as_paranoid in my model (Course), and added the deleted_at column. This is OK: Course.find_with_deleted(:all) Course.find(:all, :with_deleted => true) gives: ArgumentError: Unknown key(s): with_deleted from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/ active_support/core_ext/hash/keys.rb:49:in `assert_valid_keys''

Here''s the full error: 1) Error: test_add_message_to_existing_ticket(TicketTest): ArgumentError: Unknown key(s): group /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.4/lib/active_support/core_ext/hash/keys.rb:48:in `assert_valid_keys'' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/acts_as_paranoid-0.2/lib/acts_as_paranoid.rb:125:in `validate_find_options''

I''m working on a plugin that requires some database support to do its job (adding a model or two). I''d like the plugin to automatically add a migration once it is installed. Is there already a mechanism for this? If so, how do you do it? -- *Berin Loritsch* Owner *Work:* 571-215-7708 *Email:* bloritsch@d-haven.com <mailto:bloritsch@d-haven.com> *IM:*

Hi... Isn''t there a proper way or hack/workaround for the following? * For the example with unfortunate disabilities.. look below,,, Usage of has_* (associationmethods) do {def with_deleted AccociatedModel#with_scope} {Paranoid''s#find_with_deleted}... The has_one associations give me a nil object when invoking it with Model.association_OBJECT.with_deleted. Has_many does like

Will the find from acts_as_paranoid filter down to an :include? For instance class parent acts_as_paranoid has_many: children end and class child acts_as_paranoid belongs_to :parent end Then if you Parent.find(:all, :include => children) you will get all the children if they are deleted or not. I guess the find that filters out the deleted_at is null does not filter down to the includes

Hi, I''ve run into two small problems with acts_as_paranoid and wondered if anyone else has experienced them as well (and if yes, if they have any solutions). 1. When using has_many :through, AAP doesn''t seem to take into account the fact that your join model might also be paranoid. My solution to this at the moment is to add an explicit conditions clause to the has_many

I would like to add javascript ''onChange'' event handling for a select field, such as <%= collection_select("job", "client_id" , @clients, "id", "name") %> with onChange="xxx" Anyone know how to make this work? Thank you, Scott -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using ActiveRecord for an Extract and Transform operation, so it is outside of its native environment of Rails. I am running into a problem with memory consumption when I retrieve large amounts of data. By large amounts I am talking about roughly 12,700 records that each have a one to many relationship with about 15 additional types of information. One of those types happens

Is there any project or solution for an easy integration of a WFE / WfMS into rails? I''m quite new to this topic, but I probably need a small subset of workflow patterns (or whatever the correct term is) only. Any pointers are welcome. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Restricting size of an uploaded file, is how is that possible? If I do not want a user to upload a file larger than X bytes, can it easily be done? If I also would like restrict the types of files that can be uploaded, how may I do so? Thank you, Sharkie

So I''ve pretty much followed the steps in the video tutorial on RoR.com for creating a small app, to search for photos on flickr.com - all is good, and works as intended to.. How would I go about adding validation, so if no tags are specified it will fail. I know I have to use validates_presence_of :tags - but not in the controller.. so I tried to generate a model called

Does anybody use and prefer Redcloth (or bluecloth, which appears to be alpha)? Does it affect performance much? Is there a way to get it to automatically process templates without having to call textilize? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi! File_column plugin saves uploaded files to "public/model/image/model_id/filename", if i understand it correctly. Does it mean that it creates new folder for every image? I have product (model) that has_many images (model). Is it possible to use (or modify) this plugin that it would save my images to different folder, so the id of the model_id part would be id of the product

hello, I''m using the trunk versions of both plugins. I''m running into this error when I run a migration to try and create the versioned table for the model ''Note'' stack level too deep /Users/Adam/dev/sweetspot/app/trunk/config/../vendor/plugins/ acts_as_paranoid/init.rb:5:in `belongs_to_without_deleted''

when i require acts_as_paranoid I''m getting: undefined method `alias_method_chain'' for #<Class:ActiveRecord::Base> (NoMethodError) It happens in acts_as_paranoid''s init.rb. here''s the whole file. the alias_method_chain is near the bottom. please advise. class << ActiveRecord::Base def belongs_to_with_deleted(association_id, options = {})

Not really a Rails question, but a "best practices" one. If I want to associate an image to every account in my application, is it better to insert the image file directly inside the db or to upload the image in public/images/ ? Also, if I want to associate a cover to a movie, what''s the best approach ? TIA, ngw -- Nicholas Wieland nicholas_wieland@yahoo.it

Using the acts_as_paranoid plugin with rails 1.1.4 (model also uses acts_as_threaded and acts_as_taggable) and getting some unexplainable behavior. The following tests: assert_equal Conv.count, num assert_equal Conv.count_with_deleted, CONVS_TOTAL Produce the following SQL: SQL (0.000000) SELECT count(*) AS count_all FROM convs WHERE (( convs.deleted_at IS NULL OR convs.deleted_at

I have a real problem with the acts_as_paranoid plugin. The aliasing of find and so the nested scope does not seem to work at all, when combining it with similar plugins. The description: I made a copy of ''acts_as_paranoid'' in the plugin directory, renamed it to ''acts_as_very_new''(just a nonsense plugin for testing), and simplified the code (original code

I''m no good at SQL and I have a question that will hopefully be fairly easy to answer. I''m using acts_as_paranoid which instead of deleting a record adds a deleted_at column with the datetime the row was deleted. I want to have a find_by_sql filter out any row where deleted_at is not null. I have (at least the relevant parts): #a couple working filters here. filters <<
