== Resources

Install

Rails

• To install as a plugin:

script/plugin install http://github.com/jackdempsey/acts_as_commentable.git

• To install as a gem sudo gem install

Merb/Rails

• To install as a gem: Run the following if you haven't already: gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

Install the gem(s):

sudo gem install jackdempsey-acts_as_commentable

add the folloowing line to your environment.rb
config.gem 'jackdempsey-acts_as_commentable', :lib => 'acts_as_commentable', :source => "http://gems.github.com"

Generate your comment model:

script/generate comment

Then migrate your database:

rake db:migrate

== Usage Merb Users:

• add 'dependency "acts_as_commentable"' to your init.rb or dependencies.rb if using merb-stack

• Make your ActiveRecord model act as commentable.

class Model < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_commentable end

• Add a comment to a model instance

commentable = Model.create commentable.comments.create(:title => "First comment.", :comment => "This is the first comment.")

• Fetch comments for a commentable model:

commentable = Model.find(1) comments = commentable.comments.recent.limit(10).all

Following doesn't work/make sense to me. Leaving for historical sake -- Jack

* Each comment reference commentable object

model = Model.find(1)

model.comments.get(0).commentable == model
