Hey,
If i have a function in my model:
def mark_sold
self.update_attribute(:market_status, ''sold'')
end
Is it possible for this to be called via an on page link?
Then I''d like to ajax it so a user could just scroll down a list
clicking all links to "mark as sold" as he comes across old inventory.
Thanks,
brianp

Any other way you are fighting Rails'' MVC opinioned structure. Add a method to a controller and the route to config/routes.rb: def mark_sold model = Model.find(params[:id]) model.mark_sold render :partial => ..., :object => model end The render should generate the HTML for the changed model instance that the AJAX will replace.

Thanks Jeffrey, I had a good feeling this is how it needed to be done. But felt like I was bloating my controller. Now I''m happy knowing I was originally going in the right direction.
