Acts As Flaggable

Allows for flags to be added to multiple and different models.

Resources

Install * Run the following command:

script/plugin install http://svn.baconbear.com/rails_plugins/acts_as_flaggable

Create a new rails migration and add the following self.up and self.down methods

def self.up
  create_table :flags, :force => true do |t|
    t.column :flag, :string, :default => "" 
    t.column :comment, :string, :default => "" 
    t.column :created_at, :datetime, :null => false
    t.column :flaggable_id, :integer, :default => 0, :null => false
    t.column :flaggable_type, :string, :limit => 15,
      :default => "", :null => false
    t.column :user_id, :integer, :default => 0, :null => false
  end
end

add_index :flags, ["user_id"], :name => "fk_flags_user"

def self.down
  drop_table :flags
end

Usage * Make you ActiveRecord model act as flaggable. class Model < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_flaggable end * Add a flag to a model instance model = Model.new flag = Flag.new flag.flag = ‘Some flag’ model.flags.add_flag flag * When a flag is added via add_flag, flagged(flag, flag_count) is called on the flaggable model. This allows the model to perform certain operations if the number of flags reaches a certain point. For example, you may want to mark a Post as deleted if a Post receives too many “spam” flags * Each flag reference flaggable object model = Model.find(1) model.flags.get(0).commtable model Credits

Juixe – This plugin is a lightly modified version of Acts As Commentable. As you’ll see from the source, it’s almost completely a search/replace job with some small modifications

Xelipe – Acts as Commentable was heavily influenced by Acts As Taggable.
