acts_as_tree with acts_as_list

Hello all,

I'm having trouble using acts_as_list with acts_as_tree to order the "children". I've found a few old posts on the web that seem to indicate that this once worked.

class Whatever < ActiveRecord::Base   acts_as_tree :order => :position   acts_as_list :scope => :parent_id

Although the 'position' field is being populated, it appears to be ignoring the :scope. This is happening in rel_1-2-1 and edge.

Is anyone currently using this configuration? Any ideas?

As a side note, the :scope on acts_as_list doesn't work if it is passed as a string, but does work if using a symbol. A ticket/patch has been posted. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7380 However, this does not solve the above problem :slight_smile:

Thanks! - Brian

Nevermind... it's working perfectly. The position ids generated by my tests were throwing me off. Writing more extensive tests has shown me the light :slight_smile:
