This is really cool. Does the plug in work with Rails 2.0.x?

I needed to do the following for Edge Rails in acts_as_bookmarkable.rb:

change:
has_many :bookmarks, :as => :bookmarkable, :dependent => true

to:
has_many :bookmarks, :as => :bookmarkable, :dependent => :destroy

I did this to get my console to work.

@Frederico – Thanks for you comment. I had removed the add_bookmark method sometime ago and must had forgotten to remove it from here.

In regards to your second comment, I think I could add such a method as a convenience, but I don’t want to further confuse users with the existing find_bookmarks_by_user(user). You want an array of the bookmarked model such as Product or Post, and find_bookmarks_by_user returns an array of bookmarks. Did you know that a bookmark has a reference to your model? Yeah, you could say something like the following…

product = bookmark.bookmarkable

I have an add to your plugin. the below example is for finding all the Products bookmarked by a given user_id

def self.find_bookmarked(user)
  bookmarks = Bookmark.find(:all,
    :conditions => ["bookmarkable_type = ? AND user_id = ?","Product", user.id])
  products = Array.new
  for bookmark in bookmarks
    products << Product.find(bookmark.bookmarkable_id)
  end
  return products
end

“post.add_bookmark bmark” did not work,

I had to do:

“post.bookmarks << bmark”
