acts_as_list problem

[tom]

Hi,

I've got troubles inserting new list items using the methods of the
acts_as_list observer.

My models look like this:

class Customer extends ActiveRecord
{
var $has_many = array( 'people' => array('order' => 'list_position',
'dependent' => 'destroy'));
...

}

class Person extends ActiveRecord
{
var $belongs_to = 'customer';
var $acts_as = array('list' => array('scope' => 'customer_id',
'column' => 'list_position'));
...
}

So, a customer object has a list of Persons.

Now, when I create a new Person and insert it into a Customer's Person
list, shouldn't I be able to do it like:

$this->my_person->list->insertAtPosition( 1 ); ??

Whenever I tried this, Akelos created a new empty Person in my
database table. The list_position field was set to 1 though on that
otherwise blank row.

Any ideas?

Regards,

TS

again quick & dirty:

$Ellen =& new Person(...);
$Ellen->list->insertAtPosition(1); //Ellen is now in your database

$Customer->person->add($Ellen);

again, short but hope it helps.

and welcome :-)
