Hi folks, For my app, I needed to modify acts_as_tree (ActiveRecord::Acts::Tree) such that deleting a node would orphan sub-nodes, rather than deleting them. This is accomplished simply by allowing a :dependent option to the acts_as_tree method so that it can be set to :nullify. For my app, I simply did this by adding a file tree.rb to my lib directory and requiring it in the model.
A number of unit-test later it seems like this works fine re all the instance methods (ancestors, siblings, self_and_siblings, roots). So, I'd like to submit a patch via Trac with this small change, but since this would be my first, I thought I'd check in here before doing so to see if there is any reason why I shouldn't, or if I should use a different approach. Thoughts? -Eric -- Department chairmen never die, they just lose their faculties. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
