Using the acts_as_list pluging and I’ve hit a wall.
I’m using the lock_version column as the :version_column. If I revert
the current version to a previous one, then edit it and save it, I
don’t get the next logical version number, I get the lock_version + 1.
So the version numbers in the _versions table end up going 1,2,3
(revert to version 1), 2, not 1,2,3,4
If I use just the default version column everything works as expected.
Great I thought I’ll use the pair of them so a version column to track
the version number and lock_version for optimistic locking, however,
the plugin still detects locking_enabled? so these two don’t work
properly together and the version column never gets updated.
So I can hack the plugin and simply remove the locking_enabled? check,
that’s easy and works. But there must be a neater way, I’ve seen a
previous thread where there is talk about :extend or block syntax. How
can this be used? Is it appropriate to use it to override the
set_new_version method?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
