how to use deep_clone in has_ancestry relation

[rajeevkhangar]

please look into this. https://github.com/stefankroes/ancestry

I would like to keep ancestry data as well when I am going to deep clone and ancestry column value should
be changed during deep cloning.

Please suggest me what should i do.

I don't think that's possible, as the hierarchy is not defined via an association. However, I think you could work around it by specifying the optional block. What I would do is something like the following:

• Specify a dictionary manually, containing your tree nodes with a reference to a copy of that node (see docs)
• Define an accessor on each node which will contain the copy instance of its parent node
• Set the accessor by passing a block to deep_clone, which sets the accessor
• Rebuild the tree after copying by setting the ancestry parent of each node and saving. You should start at the root node for this and work your way down.

I hope you can find a solution for this. It would be nice if you could share it with us when you do ;)
