What are the limitations on using: errors.add_to_base to display errors in views? I have tried for days to add errors from my object.rb and they never get displayed. class Keyword < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of(:name, :message => "Name is required.") validates_uniqueness_of(:name, :message => "This name is already in use. Please try

Guys, I''m having a problem getting acts_as_tree working. It seems from the Agile book (p. 255) that acts_as_tree only supports one-to-one record relations, whereas I need many-to-many support. In other words, looking at the picture at the top of page 256 where where only 1 id is linked to 1 parent_id, I need multiple id''s linked to multiple parent_id''s - for

I just switched from using the standard "id" column into using my own primary key and generating my own unique id for each record. But, this breaks acts_as_tree. Because my new primary key is not an integer, it breaks the SQL query as follows: StatementInvalid in PagesController#create --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hello there, i have a model that uses acts_as_tree: >class GbEntry < ActiveRecord::Base > acts_as_tree :order => ''created_at DESC'' >end and i want it to paginate, including all children to avoid unnecessary db queries: > @gb_entry_pages, @gb_entries = > paginate :gb_entries, :per_page => 15, :order => ''created_at DESC'',

Hi, I''m using the latest gem version of rails under MacOS Tiger. I was trying to use acts_as_tree as described in the rails book. So I have something like: class Category < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => "title" end create table categories ( id int not null auto_increment, title

Basically, I''m trying to have a table called "categories" have a many to many relationship with itself. But I also want each catagory to be able to be "copied" into another category so it is essentially a child category to more than one parent. To me the obvious way of doing this is by creating another table called category_maps (and a model called CategoryMap).

I''m currently using acts_as_tree to display threaded Comments on my forums-like site. It''s waaay too slow to display a page with 1,000 comments, as it''s issuing a TON of selects. I''m pretty sure I want to convert to the nested set model, using acts_as_nested_set or acts_as_threaded. This should give me the performance I''m looking for. The problem,

So I have the following model class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :topic has_many :topics, :order => :position acts_as_tree :order => :position acts_as_list :scope => :topic_id end that I use for a site''s navigation. Everything (list, create, edit, even the drag&drop sort) works fine, except the destroy function, which the vanilla version def destroy

I am working on an Rails application that uses a pretty complex category structure through out the site. I have defined a table to house all the info and a FK to reference parents within the table CREATE TABLE categories ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(50) NOT NULL, parent_id int(11) default NULL, constraint fk_category_id foreign key (category_id) references

Hi, If I have a db table categories - id - name - parent_id - position is it alright to have the Category model act_as_tree and for each level act_as_list? class Category < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => :position acts_as_list :scope => :parent_id end Thanks, Peter

Hi List, I''m new to and hot on RoR. And I have a question regarding acts_as_tree and counter_cache. What methods actually update the counter_cache column? I''ve only really started the app so i''ve just got it set up so that I can select the parent node (from a list of nodes that exclude all descendants of the current node) with a radio buttoned list named and valued

Hello, I''m trying to create categories that have their own subcategories, and each subcategory may have its own subcategories, .. and so on. After some reading, I found out that the best way for creating such a thing is to use acts_as_tree, but I didn''t find any tutorial or article that explain this in a clear way. After a lot of work I was finally able to create categories and

Hi there, the acts_as_tree API says that I can set a counter cache and that it will automatically increment the "children_count" column. I did that but when I create a new page it asks for a "pages_count" column instead. Here is the relevant part of page.rb model: class Page < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => :position, :counter_cache => true

Hello all, I''m having trouble using acts_as_list with acts_as_tree to order the "children". I''ve found a few old posts on the web that seem to indicate that this once worked. class Whatever < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree :order => :position acts_as_list :scope => :parent_id Although the ''position'' field is being populated, it appears

Hello, I was trying to use the acts_as_tree plugin and I got stuck when trying to do it in a RESTful way. I have a Place model that can have and belong to other places. What is the correct method of creating new places in a RESTful way? I don''t necessarily care about have an url / place/id/place/id. I''m mostly interested to know the correct way of passing the parent_id in order

I''ve got an acts_as_tree structure which I want to be able to represent in the URL, with one field identified as the url component. In other words, if I''ve got this: def self.up create_table :nodes do |t| t.column :parent_id, :integer t.column :tag, :string end end and class Node < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree end and what I want the urls to be is something

So I have a model that acts_as_tree and I run a method on a collection of all of these records. This method walks the tree and fetches the parent/children, etc. This results in many, many duplicate SQL queries to be executed. Is there a way to eagerly load all of these models? Something along the lines of: Model.find(:all, :include => [:children, :parent]) If I execute the above statement, I

I''m trying to set up a directional self-referential HABTM to represent an arbitrary semi-hierarchical structure; it works for any data prepopulated into the db, but when I try to create a new relationship, I just get NULLs in both key columns (or 0''s if I turn on the no-null constraint). Here are the migrations: class CreateNodes < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up

i have a model called certification_types that i''ve declared as acts_as_tree. I have a model called certification that belongs_to :certification_type . class CertificationController < ApplicationController ..... def summary_list @certifications = Certification.find(:all, :order=>''date'') end end summary_list.rhtml <% for certification in

Hi, this is my first post here, my name is Lucas and I''m just starting with rails. For one of the first models I made (an accounts plan), I had some example data in a CSV file, so I created this migration, the idea is to detect the parent/child relationships according to the account number, the code works right (if I insert some puts here and there, I can see it), but when the migration
