I would like to override the destroy method of my AR objects with
something like this:
module Restorable
alias_method :really_destroy, :destroy
def destroy
self.destroyed = Date.today
self.save(false)
self
end
def restore
self.destroyed = nil
self.save(false)
self
end
end
Problem is that Restorable doesn''t have a destroy method to
alias_method. Is there a way to get this sort of functionality? I
would like to avoid adding a new method (like delete) to save
confusion and so I don''t have to go back and change my controllers.
Thanks,
--Dean

Hi,> Problem is that Restorable doesn''t have a destroy method to > alias_method. Is there a way to get this sort of functionality?everytime a module is included as a mix-in, the method "included" of the module is called, and the class including the module is passed as a parameter, so you can practice any kind of ruby dynamic black magic over the original class, in your case an AR object. I''m pasting a small template you can use for yor mix-in def self.included(parent_class) class << parent_class #everything you do here will be evaluated on the parent class content, so any method aliasing and/or overwriting should be done here end end regards, javier ramirez -- -------- Estamos de estreno... si necesitas llevar el control de tus gastos visita http://www.gastosgem.com !!Es gratis!! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You might want to look at acts_as_paranoid: http://ar-paranoid.rubyforge.org/ though I guess that doesn''t give you a restore method.... b Dean wrote:> I would like to override the destroy method of my AR objects with > something like this: > > module Restorable > > alias_method :really_destroy, :destroy > > def destroy > self.destroyed = Date.today > self.save(false) > self > end > > def restore > self.destroyed = nil > self.save(false) > self > end > > end > > Problem is that Restorable doesn''t have a destroy method to > alias_method.
