I am after a nice way to disable (not destroy, delete nor nullify) all
associated records. I''m a hoarder, I don''t want to get rid of
anything but I
want to stop records being visible.
I have a disabled boolean in my tables and if I disable the top record in
the association (say the association is 5-6 levels deep), I would like to
cleanly disable its children.
I''ve looked in the source to see how AR collects all the records but
couldn''t easily track it back.
The way I''m thinking is to extend ....
has_many :products do
def disable
products = all(:conditions => '''', :include =>
associations)
products.each do
## but here it gets messy
end
end
end
Does anyone have a nicer solution to this?
Thank you

Yes, that''s nice. Thanks for that. For some reason, I didn''t think the has_many would call my delete but I guess it does.
