Hello,
I want to add some behaviour to ActiveRecord::Base, so I did this:
1) Added ActiveRecordExtensions.rb in lib directory
2) Added the following code to this file
module ActiveRecordExtended
class ActiveRecord::Base
def date_formatter_for(field_name)
module_eval(
"def solicitation_date_formatted \n" +
...
end
end
3) Added the following line to environment.rb
require ''ActiveRecordExtensions''
4) In every model that I want to use the extension I add the following line
include ActiveRecordExtended
It works well, I have all the functions available in my model. But,
validations just stop working. all validates_presence_of just don''t
work. Anybody knows what could be this?
Thanks in advance.

Could you post that to the list? Also, ActiveRecord::Extensions is already an existing plugin, which adds plugin architecture to ActiveRecord.

My code now is like this: module ActiveRecord def Base.date_formatter_for(field_name) module_eval( "def solicitation_date_formatted \n" + " solicitation_date.strftime ''%d/%m/%Y'' if solicitation_date != nil \n" + "end \n\n" ) module_eval( "def solicitation_date_formatted=(value) \n " + "self.solicitation_date = Date.strptime(value,''%d/%m/%Y'') \n " + "end \n " ) end end Notice that I deleted the line class ActiveRecord::Base from the declaration. I think I, in some way, passed through the inheritances of the class by redeclaring it. Declaring just the methods works fine.
