Acts As Commentable

Allows for threaded comments to be added to multiple and different models. Drop-in compatible for acts_as_commentable (however requiring a database schema change)

== Resources

Install

Rails

• To install as a plugin:

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

Merb/Rails

• To install as a gem:

rake install

• Create a new rails migration and add the following self.up and self.down methods

def self.up create_table "comments", :force => true do |t| t.integer "commentable_id", :default => 0 t.string "commentable_type", :limit => 15, :default => "" t.string "title", :default => "" t.text "body", :default => "" t.string "subject", :default => "" t.integer "user_id", :default => 0, :null => false t.integer "parent_id" t.integer "lft" t.integer "rgt" t.timestamps end

add_index "comments", "user_id"
add_index "comments", "commentable_id"

end

def self.down drop_table :comments end

== Usage class Model < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_commentable_with_threading end

• Add a comment to a model instance

model = Model.new comment = Comment.new(:model => model, :body => "Your comment text here") comment.save! comment.move_to_child_of(the_desired_parent_comment)

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

== Credits

Jack Dempsey - This plugin/gem is heavily influenced/liberally borrowed/stole from acts_as_commentable

which in turn credits....

Xelipe - Because acts_as_commentable was heavily influenced by Acts As Taggable.
