Hi, What''s the difference between attr_accessor and attr_accessible? Is attr_accessor to create a virtual variable/object and attr_accessible makes it accessible? Do you need attr_accessible if you already have attr_accessor? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "R...

Please guide me how to use those two methods. I can''t differentiate them. I was doing something on my model and I have put one field in the attr_accessible method. After that when I try to run the app the app always says my other fields are blank, but they''re all filled up. What''s wrong with it?

(I posted this as a bug in GitHub (https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/7018), but then someone there told me I should post it here, so here it is.) If you set attr_accessible on some properties in an ActiveRecord-descended class, and then attr_protected on others - the class becomes ''default-open'' - if any properties are missed or added later, they will be accessible by default to MassAssignment. This undoes the entire point of having put attr_acce...

Is anyone out there writing specs to check attr_accessible fields? I had originally written my spec to check for allowing the desired fields, and then none of the other regular db fields. Unfortunately this isn''t satisfactory, because attr_protected could have been used instead, which of course wouldn''t prevent mass assignment to any what...

I''ve been puzzling over how to test that attr_accessible has been set for the correct columns; but the tests I''ve come up with so far seem to fail to fail when I expect. I came across this old message from this list: http://www.mail-archive.com/rspec-users at rubyforge.org/msg01570.html Which seemed like a plausible example, but my attempt (mo...

Hi, I''m trying to understand this error: WARNING: Can''t mass-assign these protected attributes: active I had this error before when creating a record.I did not mark the attibutes posted from the form as attr_accessible, so when the following line tries to execute it throwed an Warning in the log, and the record was not saved. @user = User.new(params[:user]) I find out that I have to have the attributes that I want to sent from the form marked as attr_accessible.

Hi, I would like to protect all the attributes of one of my model. This ticket talks about this issue: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9631 , and a patch to the documentation was submitted: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/8032 , which actually states that defining :attr_accessible alone, means all attributes are protected. However when I look at the rails API page for attr_accessible, I can''t find the documentation about that: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M001981 As of Rails 2.2.2, how do I protect all attributes of my model?

Hey, A total noobieQ. Apologies, still learning. Could anyone point me to examples of a non-database-driven feedback form, for instance, a simple e-mail feedback form that takes advantage of ActionMailer?

...ers and Groups tables. The attribute enables a site admin to set records to a :featured_at datetime. There''s named spaced admin controllers for the Users and Groups. The problem is, to set the :featured_at in the admin controllers for users and groups, the attribute had to be exposed under attr_accessible in User.rb and Group.rb. This means we''re open to mass assignment hacks on this attribute. Is there a more elegant route to avoiding hacks than setting the params[:user][:featured_at] = nil (same for groups) in the public facing controllers for :create and :update actions? -- Posted via h...

...ClassMethods.html>for this. I''m on Rails3.2.3/Ruby1.9.3 and trying to use that technique in the controller as described. It is supposed to dynamically restrict the attributes that can be mass assigned. However, sanitize_for_mass_assignment is ignoring the scope and using the default attr_accessible instead. Is anyone else seeing this problem? Or has anyone successfully implemented it the way the docs describe?
