Hi, I would like to use request.host in before_save inside model. Since request object is only available in controller and not available inside model, I cannot use request directly in model. Creating a parameter for before_save also not an option since every save will need to supply paramater to before_save. Any body has ideas how to approach this problem? May be extending active records just like created_by and updated_by Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Use a before_filter to call a method defined in the ApplicationController:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :ip_thingo
def ip_thingo
@record = Record.find(params[:id])
@record.update_attribute("ip",request.remote_addr)
end
You can put the before_filter anywhere in any of your controllers, and you
can specify :only and :except to get it to run on only some actions, or all
actions except some.
