Hello, I am using acts as paranoid which works great. But I have the following problem. I have table a which has a has_many :tableb, :dependent => false relationship with table b. If I delete something in a and then try to edit a field in table b I get an error because it says the data does not exist so it doesn''t allow the update. I understand of course why this happens but I can''t figure out a solution. I think I need to allow tableB to see the deleted_at data from table a. Basically what I want to do is that even though an item may have been deleted it only means that it can not be used in the future but I still want to know where and when it was used in the past. I hope I was clear enough and thanks for the help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
