Dear list,
I''d like to make an ''after_find'' call for each and
every AR model I
defined. In AWDWR page 376 they do so by opening up the AR class like
this:
class ActiveRecord::Base
def self.some_method
return ''foo''
end
end
All nice and well but where should I store this class?? According to
the chapter it should go in app/models. So I placed a file called
base.rb in app/models/active_record. To no avail. Placing it in app/
models did no good either.
I know I can do this by defining a module in lib/ and include that in
all my models but that is just not as pretty.
With kind regards,
Harm

In environment.rb require that file. An alternative would be class MyBaseClass < ActiveRecord::Base self.abstract_class = true [your funkiness here] end and then have all your classes inherit from MyBaseClass Fred --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Aha! So I should just require it. I was hoping that would go ''automagically''. Thanks for the reply.
