Hi, Just wondering when one would use "include" over "extend"? Both seem to bring in methods to the class no? The context is I''m just trying to understand why both are used with the acts_as_audited plugin: Full extract from plugin (used within here): ================================================== # Copyright (c) 2006 Brandon Keepers # # Permission is hereby

I am trying to write a plugin, ''acts_as_commentable'', for my models - Image, Book, Music and so on, I do not want to use polymorphic association, so very model should have its own comment class. Here is my code acts_as_commentable.rb module Commentable def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) end module ClassMethods def

hey folks I''ve installed the plugin acts_as_taggable_on_steroids (henceforth aatos), and i already have some tagging functionality set up, using the same approach (ie a Tag and a Tagging class with associated tables) as aatos. So, i want my existing Tag and Taggings methods, plus some other methods i have in a module which i include with the taggable classes (ie the ones that would call

I''m writing my own plugin and all the plugins I''ve seen use class_eval in the method that is called in the including module. For example: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToWriteAnActsAsFoxPlugin module Foo module Acts #:nodoc: module Fox #:nodoc: def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) end # declare the class level

Hi, i try to understand how plugins work in detail. Often you see stuff like: class Post < ActiveRecord::Base   acts_as_commentable end I wonder what''s happen all there. What kind of language-feature is behind this call "acts_as_commentable" ? In my opinion you need some kind of extend or include to extend the functionality of a model. And exactly this is which i found

I''m trying to enhance acts_as_nested_set. Well actually I already have, but I''ve done a hack up job of it. I would like to contribute these enhancements back, but I need a little help. I''m a complete newbie to this stuff. The only thing I new before coming into this project was vanilla HTML. So over the course of two weeks I''ve picked up Ruby, Rails, MySQL,

hi, I started today to use the acts as taggable plugin and it''s working as expected. I added a method find_tagged_with_all since I needed to find the elements tagged with all the items in a list while find_tagged_with finds all the elements tagged with any of the list terms. Attached to this mail there''s a patch which adds the find_tagged_with_all method and which solves a

Hi plugin-authors. So this is a little bit of take two on this question, but why can''t I access a singleton on the model calling my plugin? The crux of the full plugin below is: #logger.info self.class.to_s new_copy = self.class.new( @copyable_attributes ) the logger spits out "Datatype", but I get an error from rails saying: undefined method `datatype'' for

I have a real problem with the acts_as_paranoid plugin. The find-scope nesting does not seem to work at all. The description: I made a copy of ''acts_as_paranoid'' in the plugin directory, renamed it to ''acts_as_very_new''(just nonsense plugin for testing), and just simplified the code: #-------------------------------------------------------------- module

I can''t belive I fit that in as the subject! I''m writing a plugin that will allow me to grab some text from a database and call the render method from ActionController on part of the text. I can''t seem to figure out how to access the render method of ActionController::Base. I keep getting the "uninitialized constant Execute" error. How can I do this?

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

Dear list, I am trying to override an after_save callback declared in main app using plugin. The main model class is: class WorkHours < ActiveRecord::Base @after_save_call_back_called=0 after_save :after_save_call_back def after_save_call_back logger.debug "after save called" @after_save_call_back_called=1 end end And in my plugin (in the lib directory) : module

Just tried to play a movie/DVD and Totem (what automatically popped up when I inserted the DVD) said it needed plug-ins... it didn't say which plug-ins. The website listed in the help page no longer exists. I have four of the gstreamer packages and libdvdcss installed, but I guess there's something more needed. Anyone know? tia for the tips. -- War is a failure of the imagination.

Hi all, I'm new to the speex development mailing list, so I don't have much experience/idea about Speex. I came to know about speex when I was working on a R&D for my application on Palm devices. I've created a Pocket PC application, which is a talking phrasebook using .NET Compact Framework. In this application I'm using a 3rd party MP3 plug-in for playing my MP3 files,

Thanks a lot for your reply, Jean. >I'm not aware of anyone packaging Speex especially for a Palm device, >but I have been able to use it as a command-line executable (you need >version 1.1.x to do that). Your reply essentially means that there aren't any commercial speex plug-ins for Palm available, so the only option I do have is to write one. Actually I was thinking of that

I have just discovered the existence of Wine as I was thinking of creating a Windows partition in order to process audio files using some of the great VST fx plugins (such as dblue glitch) that are only available on Windows. I could then import the files into Logic 9 on Mac OSX Lion for use in my music. A Windows partition seemed the only solution until I stumbled across the Wine website: I tried

Quick question: Given a basic plugin... how can I access an object that I instantiated in the acts_as method from an instance method? Probably some sort of accessor... but where? def self.included(base) base.extend ClassMethods end module ClassMethods def acts_as_test object = Object.new ## This object needs to be accessible from the Instance Methods end include

I know that Winamp has its loyal following. I've never used it much. Also, I'm a novice at computer music. I've always just bought CD's and never used computer music. So perhaps I'm an idiot or just not very music-software literate, but I so far haven't been impressed with Winamp, or the FLAC plug-in. Just for one example, I've got a dual-Althlon MP 2000 system
