lte / acts-as-messageable Goto Github PK

Currently doesn't work because of the ActiveRecord and ActiveSupport 3.0 requirement.

I couldnt find a unread received messages (good for inbox unread count) so I added the following under

   received_messages()

      def unread_messages
        result = received_messages_relation.scoped.where(:recipient_delete => false, :opened => 0 )
        result.relation_context = self

        result
      end

sorry, it caused by another gem.

delete method does nothing when called on a single message object (not passed to a block from 'process' function).
E.g.

ActsAsMessageable::Message.find(1).delete
# or
user.messages.last.delete

does nothing.

When I call the conversations method like below;

current_user.received_messages.conversations

I get the error below;

NoMethodError (undefined method `conversations' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x37b0a20>)

Then I checked my gem folder under ruby installation and saw that the files in acts-as-messageable-0.4.7 have not been updated.

What am I doing wrong here? How can I update the gem correctly?

Edit: I uninstalled and then install the gem again. The problem still persists.

at the moment, sending an empty message if :body has validation on it gives

Validation failed: Body can't be blank, Body is too short (minimum is 1 characters), Body can't be blank

but since no error is given back when the message tries to be saved to the DB, only the error shows.

is there a way to have a send_message! which will throw the error and not save to the db?
something like

@message = alice.send_message(bob, :body => "")
if @message
// horray
else
//something went wrong
end

Is there a way to find the conversations between two users?

Thanks in advance

Is there a way to retrieve the list of conversations ordered by last answered?
Thanks.

User should be able to remove messages from trash.

For this one I am not %100 sure, maybe I am missing some point
If you want to read an inbox or outbox message with @message.open or @message.mark_as_read, it doesn't work.
size of @user.received_message doesn't change after @user.received_messages or @message.open operation.

I think it is because of below, in model.rb class, this method is defined as:

def received_messages
result = received_messages_relation.scoped.where(:recipient_delete => false)
result.relation_context = self
result
end

As you see above, db select is done for receipent_delete column, not for opened column.. But after @message.open or @message.mark_as_read opened column is change to TRUE, receipent_delete is not changed

Hi,

Is there a way to add attachments to conversation while sending replies similar to facebook ?

I do not know if rails4 support is in scope. Currently I am getting the following warning on logs, and rspec breaks in similar fashion:

DEPRECATION WARNING: Calling #scope or #default_scope with a hash is deprecated. Please use a lambda containing a scope. E.g. scope :red, -> { where(color: 'red') }. (called from class:User at /path/to/application/root/app/models/user.rb:LINE_NUMBER)
DEPRECATION WARNING: Calling #scope or #default_scope with a hash is deprecated. Please use a lambda containing a scope. E.g. scope :red, -> { where(color: 'red') }. (called from class:User at /path/to/application/root/app/models/user.rb:LINE_NUMBER)

This happens when "acts_as_messageable" is added to the user model.

If I set acts_as_messageable to use a custom message model, I run into issues that every model that it return using a method of acts_as_messageable (like conversation, etc) is returned as ActsAsMessageable and does not share the methods of my custom model.

This means I cannot add methods to my model..

Is there a way around this?

this is what I added to my user.rb model

acts_as_messageable     :table_name => "messages",
                        :required   => :body,               
                        :class_name => "Message",    
                        :dependent  => :destroy

this my model

class Message < ActsAsMessageable::Message

note that I can access custommessage attributes

I have the following:
u1.send_message(u2, {:body => "body", :topic => "topic"})

This is the error I get:

 NoMethodError: undefined method `each_with_index' for :body:Symbol     from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/acts-as-messageable-0.3.0/lib/acts-as-messageable/acts-as-messageable.rb:55:in `send_message'

This is using the same example in the README. Seems like it does not recognize ;body as a symbol?

My messages aren't just straight messages, I also pass along an account name and sometimes build as a nested-attribute a contact.

Is that possible to do?

in the example controller page:
https://github.com/LTe/acts-as-messageable/wiki/Example-controller

def show
@message = current_user.messages.with_id(params[:id])
end

We have to get the first element like this one => @message = current_user.messages.with_id(params[:id]).first
Or @message is null. Maybe you can also correct this..

In /lib/acts-as-messageable/model.rb method send_message lines 106

message = self.class.messages_class_name.create message_attributes

should be

message = self.class.messages_class_name.new message_attributes

so when you save the model in line 109 it has the associations delcared in lines 106 and 107 instead of just updating to add the associations.

If you have a model with inherited classes and you use acts-as-messageable on the base class, the messages method will always return 0 (because it's trying to make the type match the subclass). The received_messages and sent_messages methods work fine, however.

Example:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts-as-messageable 
end

class Buyer < User
end

class Seller < User
end

One way to fix this would be to rewrite messages = sent_messages + received_messages (requires 2 database queries).
Or, it could be turned into one union query.

I have the following:

   u1.send_message(u2, {:body => "body", :topic => "topic"})
   u1.messages
  >>[]

If I send a message, the user that sent the message shows no message.

I just upgraded my project to Rails 4. I'm getting the following error message for the GEM.

Is this being worked on or am I missing something I should upgrade?

Thanks

Even though i write

It produce the sql query

SELECT messages.* FROM messages WHERE messages.received_messageable_id = 21 AND messages.received_messageable_type = 'User' AND messages.recipient_delete = 0 ORDER BY created_at, created_at desc

why there is the first created_at in order by clause? It should be only ORDER BY created_at desc

It's the second time it happens to me when installing the gem.

Sometimes I got this trying to rebuild database from scratch. Also I got this trying to run rails app on Heroku

2012-05-20T16:34:10+00:00 app[web.1]: /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/acts-as-messageable-0.1.0/lib/acts_as_messageable/acts-as-messageable.rb:9:in `acts_as_
messageable': wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) (ArgumentError)

My class looks like

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_messageable :class_name => "Message", :required => :topic
end

Thanks a lot for this gem, now building my internal messaging system on top of it.

For reading a message, it is written (in github project front page) that we can use read method, however there isn't any read method defined in message.rb class, therefore it throws a missing method exception
Maybe you can remove the line below from the front page.
@message.read

Hi

I am trying to use member.messages.unreaded but it returns the wrong number of unread messages.

When I inspect the sql generated

SELECT messages.* FROM messages WHERE messages.opened = 0 AND ((sent_messageable_type = 'Member' and
sent_messageable_id = 666762 and
sender_delete = 0 and sender_permanent_delete = 0) or
(received_messageable_type = 'Member' and
received_messageable_id = 666762 and
recipient_delete = 0 and recipient_permanent_delete = 0)) ORDER BY created_at desc

The above sql returns the send messages in unread messages.

if I remove following from sql it returns the correct unread messages

(sent_messageable_type = 'Member' and
sent_messageable_id = 666762 and
sender_delete = 0 and sender_permanent_delete = 0) or

Hey

This command is creating the the table after the migration of the columns...

Davidslv$ rails g acts-as-messageable:migration
create db/migrate/20111027174737_add_recipient_permanent_delete_and_sender_permanent_delete_to_messages.rb
create db/migrate/20111027174738_create_messages_table.rb

And is giving me an error about set_table_name

is there somehow we can add create_at timestamp?
editted: i saw you've added the create_at in 0.3.1 but i cant see it in the code

thanks

Refactor specs, should be more DRY.

In my setup messages doesn't have a topic. I declare

acts_as_messageable :required => :body

It's quite inconvenient to use send_message/reply_to as I always have to pass nil to the second argument

@mother.send_message(@son, nil, "How are ya?")
@son.reply_to(@mother, nil, "Totally drunk")

I can see 2 solutions

1. rearrange parametrs so topic is after a body and set to nil by default. So we can invoke the method like this:

@mother.send_message(@son, "How are you?")
@mother.send_message(@son, "How was the party? Did you enjoy?", "Party")

2. use options hash

@mother.send_messages(@son, :body => "How was the party?", :topic => "Party")

Personally I'd choose 2) as it's more flexible.

openfirmware / acts-as-messageable depends on activerecord 3 or newer but my rails 2.3.14 depends on activerecord 2.3.14 ONLY.

1. how can i define my gemfile so that acts-as-messageable can be installed successfully?
2. rails2.3.11_compatible branch is for rails 2.3.11 only? can i use it for rails 2.3.14?
3. do i need to install both master and 2.3.11 ver for my rails 2?

when i run 'bundle install' it showed:
Fetching source index for http://rubygems.org/ Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "activerecord": In Gemfile:

acts-as-messageable (= 0.3.0) x86-mingw32 depends on
activerecord (~> 3.0.0) x86-mingw32

rails (= 2.3.14) x86-mingw32 depends on
activerecord (2.3.14)

my gemfile:
gem "activerecord", ">= 2.3.14", "<= 3.0.11"
gem "rails", "2.3.14"

please help.

@alice.messages.with_id(@id_of_message) # message with id id_of_message

error: undefined method `with_id'

I couldnt find a restore from trash so I add the following under

    delete_message()

      def restore_message(message)
        current_user = self

        if message.received_messageable == current_user
            message.update_attributes!(:recipient_delete => false)
        elsif message.sent_messageable == current_user
            message.update_attributes!(:sender_delete => false)
        end
      end

Hi there-

I've installed the acts_as_messagable gem but keep getting the following error:

NoMethodError (undefined method `ancestry' for #ActsAsMessageable::Message:0x00000104576ef8):

Do you have any idea what it might be?

Thanks

Is there a way to have a third model (@charlie) to join in conversation?

msg = @alice.send_message(@bob, "party time")

@charlie.send_message(@msg, "me too!!!")

something like that?

How can I display, facebook style, the entire thread of a message including the replies?

I have in my message model a belongs_to association that doesn't appear to work......am I limited to the asociations through the gem?
