OK. I just added <view:unit_activity.position/> to the view and get (Not Available) when I render the page.
In the unit_activity table, the position column is being populated when the units are added to an activity, but not when reordered from the acts_as_list view. Could this be a permission or scope problem caused by 'position' being on the join table? Thanks, On Jun 9, 5:28 pm, Ronbo <[email protected]> wrote: > Yup.
