I have been using Squirrel (http://thoughtbot.com/projects/squirrel) for performing rails searches. It really takes the thinking out of sql conditions and makes it so much more like normal ruby syntax.
I have recently been using the acts_as_tree gem(http://github.com/ jcnetdev/acts_as_tree/tree/master) for a Group model that has children, grandchildren etc. Squirrel works well for the children and parent methods since these are normal associations but for methods like "ancestors" and "all_children" which are recursive methods , squirrel won't work. I don't fully understand how squirrel uses associations. Can you think of a way that squirrel could be used in this kind of way Group.find(:all) do ancestors.name.contains?("Department") end Many thanks Anthony --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
