I''m running 0.14.2 and am a little confused as to the best way to install mix-ins. I''m specifically using "acts_as_paranoid" as an example (as it is one of the simpler implementations). It is a gem and can be "installed" as a gem, but then what''s the best way to integrate it into my app (require_gem?). I''ve seen recommendations to require it

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

Hi All, So I thought I had this acts_as_paranoid problem previously and fixed by going to rails 0.14.2, although I''m not 100% it was the same thing. I''m now on rails 0.14.3 and I''m getting: undefined method `constrain'' for class `Class'' for any model that includes acts_as_paranoid. My application trace is below. Has anyone else got this and know a

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

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 trying to get some opinions on a design I''m floating ("rails way" or not?). Say I''ve got an Author model in my Blog application and I want my administrators to be able to disable authors. I don''t want to delete authors because this would cause data integrity issues (orphaned Author foreign key in the Post model). So my plan is to re- task the

I''ve got a problem in that users are deleting a paranoid model through the application, including dependents. Some of these dependents are paranoid too, but not the attachments. (I''m using DB file storage.) I need to be able to un-delete these things and I''m now wondering if acts_as_paranoid will work with models that use attachment_fu? If so, in what model to I add the

Guys, I am trying to figure out what exactly does this line do at the end of "acts_as_paranoid" plugin? ActiveRecord::Base.send :include, Caboose::Acts::Paranoid::ActiveRecord My problem: I have some classes that I use acts_as_paranoid, and others with tagging support. Classes declared as taggable, throw error, which appears to be in the acts_as_paranoid version of the

Hello! I am trying to figure out how to implement *logical deletes* instead of physical deletes using ActiveRecord. Basically, in many applications that deal with E-Commerce, you really can''t physically delete almost anything, because records must be kept for auditing and customer service tracking purposes. In the past, I''ve implemented logical deletes as follows: 1.

I performed a gem install feedtools, I then added these 2 lines to my environment.rb: require ''rubygems'' require ''feed_tools'' I then added this method in my controller: def rss @post = Post.most_recent feed = FeedTools::Feed.new feed.title = ''Recent Rambles'' feed.subtitle = ''random thoughts by me''

How would I go about setting up my rails applications to soft delete items from the database rather than actually deleting it. I would imagine that I need to over ride the methods from ActiveRecord. Where would I do this would it be in the model? enviroment.rb? I would imagine that if i wanted it throughout my entire application it would need to be in the enviroment.rb. Also to

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''ve posted a different question just before -- but before I can try and get a better idea of my error message, I was trying to start my application and ran into other problems. My application was developed last year in rails 1.2.3. I since upgraded my computer and have the latest version of rails. When I tried to star the application I got the following error message:

Hello list, I''m having a problem getting Gruff working with Rails on a Windows XP box. I installed RMagick, then Gruff via the win32 gem, and it seemed to go OK. From irb, I can do the following - require ''rubygems'' ##### This returns ''false'', but seems to work OK - require ''gruff'' ####### Ditto - g = Gruff::Bar.new etc., and I get

I''ve got a couple apps that I use (billing app, support ticket app, some other custom apps) that I want to integrate into one site. They will all use the same layout for the most part, and will link between each other. When I initially thought of doing this, I figured if I put the apps at different roots - /billing /support etc - then the links wouldn''t work at all, because

Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and Ruby, and have been working my way through the Pickaxe and Agile Rails books for the last week or so. With a background in payroll apps I found that the default ActiveRecord mapping of decimal columns to float variables really bothered me! Financial calcs need high levels of accuracy and floats just don''t give you that. I know there are a bunch

Acts_as_paranoid is giving me a headache when performing migrations. For some reason when I perform a migration I get a "stack level too deep" error. If I comment out the database inserts that are performed (countries, regions, and a base admin) it works well. Even after minimizing the data that is inserted on the migration to one record it still throws the same error. When running

Back in the horse-and-buggy days when I was cutting my OO eye teeth on Smalltalk, we had a LOT of conversations about the biggest problem dealing with a large and growing set of classes and methods in the Smalltalk image. It became clear that most, if not all, successful Smalltalk coders spent a lot of their time code-shopping, i.e., looking for a class or method that did something they

I have models within a module file and access them from my controller with Module::Model syntax, but only get unitialized const errors. I even tried require ''mymodule'', etc, no avail. The Prg Google has ZERO help on this, and I can''t believe more people haven''t run into this issue. What''s the deal? Frustrated, John -- Posted via
