users cannot be rateable

[soumya]

While working on a project, I wanted it to work so that a user can rate another user. But I wasnt able to do it. The rateable_id and rateable_type dont get saved to the database for some reason. Is it possible to have the user model as both the rater and rateable? Please let me know if I've missed something.

In theory it is possible, as the methods only calls some associations, you end up with a recursive association, which works as normal. I will try this and see if there's any issue that avoids to save the polymorphic columns.

Please try the new version 2.2.0 and let me know if you still have problems.

I am attempting to do the same thing as soumya. In the user model have

class User < ActiveRecord::Base ajaxful_rateable :stars => 5 ajaxful_rater end

however, when I call the

<%= ratings_for @user %>

in the .erb file (where @user is the rateable instance with id 406 and @user != current_user), it generates the following sql query:

SELECT SUM(rates.stars) AS sum_id FROM rates WHERE rates.rater_id = 406 AND rates.rater_type = 'User'

Obviously, this query returns the sum of ratings where @user is the rater, not the rateable user. What am I doing wrong?

It should work out of the box. You can see what's different in your application and the demo app: https://github.com/edgarjs/ajaxful-rating_demo_app/blob/master/app/models/user.rb
