Ferret talk - Jul 2007 - Acts_As_Ferret: disable_ferret and Callbacks

Does disable_ferret monkey with callbacks at all?  I have a model in my
application that has associated models which perform callbacks after
their validation (they''re all instantiated around the same time).  I
recently added a conditional call to disable ferret provided a flag and
I''m finding these callbacks aren''t quite working right.

Here''s a code sample:

class Model < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :associated_model # This model will fill in some fields upon
it''s own validation

  def save_with_activation_handling!
    if active? # This part works
      self.activated_at = Time.now
    else
      disable_ferret :once
      self.activated_at = nil
    end
    save_without_activation_handling!
  end

  alias_method_chain :save!, :activation_handling
end

Any ideas?

Thank you,

James Herdman

what exactly does this mean? Is Ferret not disabled, or are your
callbacks never called?

The callbacks weren''t firing.  It doesn''t matter though. 
I''ve since
approached the problem from a different angle.
