So you're trying to call a named scope on an instance of your model ? That won't work because named scopes aren't supposed to work that way. In a nutshell scopes are about narrowing down the results of a find (although they are also handy for adding other options to a find), eg Person.active scopes the find to those people with active=true. When you are just talking about a single object you have already loaded, scopes don't make a lot of sense. A fairly standard way of doing this would be to add a class method to ActiveRecord::Base (eg acts_as_permissioned) and then calling that method would add required associations and so on, so a model which does use this stuff looks like class Something < AR::Base acts_as_permissioned end (which at the end of the day is using modules and what not, but I find this a whole lot clearer than having stuff inserted into the base class. at least hear you have a clear statement at the top that this class is using the permissions stuff) Fred (ps you probably don't want self.class.name in your self.check_acl method, since this will always evaluate to 'Class' ) > > At the very least I'd like to know why this isn't working and if at > all possible, I'd like to hear some ideas on how I can make this > work.
