hey, i have something like this for the user timestamp (created_by and
updated_by), i have seen this on http://delynnberry.com/pages/userstamp/
and http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/ExtendingActiveRecordExample
#adding ''created_by'' and ''updated_by'' to all
models
module ObjectStatistics
def self.append_features(base)
base.before_create do |model|
model.created_by ||= User.backend_user.id if
model.respond_to?(:created_by)
end
base.before_save do |model|
model.updated_by = User.backend_user.id if
model.respond_to?(:updated_by)
end
end
# belongs_to :created_by, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key
=>
"created_by"
# belongs_to :updated_by, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key
=>
"updated_by"
end
my usermodel
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
include ObjectStatistics
cattr_accessor :backend_user
def to_s
return self.login
end
end
my productmodel
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
include ObjectStatistics
end
in my application controller i have this:
before_filter :set_backend_user
def set_backend_user
User.backend_user = User.find(session[:backend].id) unless
session[:backend].nil?
end
Now this al works! :)
But when i do item.created_by => i get "1"
this is the id from the module (User.backend_user.id ), but i want the
login.
Now my question is, how can i implement this below in the module so i
dont need to type it in every model?
belongs_to :created_by, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key =>
"created_by"
belongs_to :updated_by, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key =>
"updated_by"

I had the same question about how to implement the belongs_to in a more dry fashion. I din'';t figure it out, os i have that declaration in most all of my models. Not ideal. As for displaying the login, you could override the accessor def self.created_by self.created_by.login end --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

module ObjectStatistics
def included(other)
other.send(:belongs_to, :created_by, :class_name => "User",
:foreign_key =>"created_by")
other.send(:belongs_to, :updated_by, :class_name => "User",
:foreign_key =>"updated_by")
end
...
end
This will call the belongs_to method on the class that the module is
included in. You may need to fiddle with the syntax, can''t test this
at the moment.
Cheers,

Hi all,
I am trying to do a functional test on a controller that mixes in a module
with an expensive method, but I would like to mock out that method for my
testing purposes. I can''t seem to do it. Here''s what I have
tried
def setup
@controller = MyController.new
klass = class << @controller; self; end
klass.send(:undef_method, :something_expensive)
klass.send(:define_method, :something_expensive, lambda {nil})
end
I have also tried to do the less idiomatic but more straightforward
def @controller.something_expensive; nil; end
but that didn''t help, either. The undef_method fails because it
can''t find
the method (I guess becaues it''s actually defined in the module). The
other way just silently fails to accomplish its objective. I''ve googled
some but am somewhat perplexed. Ideas?
### this is what the controller looks like ###
class MyController
include ModuleWithExpensiveMethod
end
module ModuleWithExpensiveMethod
def something_expensive
sleep(100)
end
end
###
thanks

I''ve got a plugin which handles this very simply. You just add two
columns
to the table, created_by_id and updated_by_id, then declare:
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_monitored
end
And the fields will be updated accordingly. This is a slightly nicer
solution as it allows you to include the associations with a find.
The plugin assumes the current user can be accessed through
User.current(you can change this if you need).

Both of these techniques work fine when I try your examples - are you sure
your example illustrates the problem you are seeing?
A third way is like this...
def setup
@controller = MyController.new
class << @controller
undef something_expensive # not strictly necessary
def something_expensive; end
end
end
But if you are getting into mocking and stubbing, you might like to have a
look at Mocha at http://mocha.rubyforge.org which can make your life a bit
easier.
