stream7 / migration_integer_limit_option
Created July 7, 2011 14:09
Rails migrations integer :limit option
literally always have to look up the meaning of :limit in migrations when it comes to integer values. Here's an overview. Now let's memorise it (oh, this works for MySQL, other databases may work differently):
:limit Numeric Type Column Size Max value
1 tinyint 1 byte 127
2 smallint 2 bytes 32767
3 mediumint 3 byte 8388607
nil, 4, 11 int(11) 4 byte 2147483647
5..8 bigint 8 byte 9223372036854775807
Note: by default MySQL uses signed integers and Rails has no way (that I know of) to change this behaviour. Subsequently, the max. values noted are for signed integers.

Nestable, sortable and dragable categories

Nestable, sortable and dragable categories:

In the project I'm working on we wanted to have a Category model which we wanted to be nestable. But we also liked the user to have a draggable interface to manage and rearrange the order of his categories. So we chose awesome_nested_set for the model and jQuery.nestedSortable for the UI.

It took me some time to arrange things to work properly so I wanted to share my work in case it helps anybody.

Before beginning

Quick and dirty one off migration task for paperclip plugin to move files from local filesystem to Amazon S3.
# First configure your models to use Amazon s3 as storage option and setup the associated S3 config.
# Then add the classes your want to migrate in the klasses array below.
# Then run rake paperclip_migration:migrate_to_s3
# Should work but this is untested and may need some tweaking - but it did the job for me.
namespace :paperclip_migration do
desc "migrate files from filesystem to s3"
task :migrate_to_s3 => :environment do
klasses = [:model_1, :model_2] # Replace with your real model names. If anyone wants to this could be picked up from args or from configuration.
klasses.each do |klass_key|
