Rails - Feb 2012 - Log the user who destroyed a record using 'before_destroy' callback

I want to log the user who destroyed a record using before_destroy callback.
But, I dont know how to pass arguments to before_destroy(and I am not sure
if it is possible). Maybe I am dealing this in the wrong way. Any other
perspective to do this will also do.

I got it. I can add a virtual attribute to the model (something like
`attr_accessor :destroyer` or something) and you can access it in the
method for `before_destroy` callback. Something like:

Controller

@record = Record.find(params[:id])
@record.destroyer = current_user
@record.destroy

Model

attr_accessor :destroyer
before_destroy :log_destroyer

def log_destroyer
  if destroyer
    ## code for logging
  end
end
