Anybody know of a built-in method, filter, or plugin that will check to see if
any of the values in an object have been changed since .new or .find begat it?
I''m looking for something that will let me easily do a before_save
filter that looks like...
before_save :reassign_if_changed
def reassign_if_changed
if self.has_changed?
self.last_modified_by = @visitor.name
end
end
I don''t want to change the last_modified_by value just because a
visitor opens an edit page, even if they click the submit button. I only want
to change it if the visitor has actually changed the original information.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on how best to accomplish this.
Best regards,
Bill

I guess I''m going to have to just dig in and put together a little sandbox app. The "here''s what this does" info on that and the related plugin is so sparse ....
