How do I locally disable a callback from being performed? My class has class Keyword < ActiveRecord::Base after_update :switch_versioned private # Callback used to warn the user that an updated record # has not been saved in the version table def switch_versioned logger.debug "coucou" self.versioned= false end But another class has a method that sets @keyword.versioned= true so in this case I want to disable the callback... there is probably a better way to do it? any help appreciated Isabelle -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
