search for: attr_read

I have some properties that I want setable externally, but readable only internally. I''ve played around with attr_writer (and attr_reader separately) but can''t figure out how to get either to work. I can do what I want using attr_accessor, or just straight out defining the prop setter method. Anybody know how to use attr_writer or attr_reader with a model?

...to just increment a variable and I think I''m missing some basic concept (this is RoR 2.0.2 btw) So have a "players" table with several variables, including one called "odds". I''m using the basic scaffold generator for the CRUD stuff, but in my model I have: attr_reader :odds def initialize(odds) @odds = odds end def winGame @odds += 1 end (note: attr_reader makes the odds in the index list disappear from view.) in the controller I have: def winner player = Player.find(params[:id]) player.winGame respond_to do |format| f...

I''ve spent some time converting my website from php to RoR, and so far, I''m loving every bit of Rails. However, I''ve stumbled across a problem. On my old page, I''ve had a random quote display at a specific location, and I''d like to replicate this with RoR. Basically, I thought I would be able to add all quotes into a specific table in the database,

Something''s not working, and I just want to make sure that my class is not to blame and that I''ve got how it works straight in my head: The attr_reader parts make those :something (hash values, i think) accessible as @class.something attributes outside of the class. So, once I find the right session in the controller, I can access those values as @session.something. Right? For some reason I''m just getting zero for @question_total an...

I have table "decks" with three fields: "id", "created_at" and "cards" which is a 264-character string field. I have modified the model with a constructor, as follows: class Deck < ActiveRecord::Base attr_reader :cards def initialize @cards = "12345" end end If I call Deck.new from my controller, I get no errors and an object with the "cards" attribute set appropriately to "12345".

...cond edition I don''t see anything like the syntax you see people using in rails code. Specifically when you see. belongs_to :Person has_many :Phones etc these are methods on ActiveRecord right? Why is this invocation syntax never described in the Pick Axe book? I do see things like attr_reader :some_attribute etc but you don''t see it in the context of invoking a method on your ancestor. Can somebody cite me where this is described in the Pick Axe book?
