search for: attr_writer

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?

All, I''m having a hell of a time figuring out what is going on here. I''m trying to override one of my getters so that I can format it a certain way in my form.

...''t seem to be used by the internal persistence logic. I have tested this as follows: If I remove the attr_accessor line from the State definition, it all works just fine. In fact, if I replace the attr_accessor with an attr_reader, that works fine. However, if I use an attr_accessor or an attr_writer statement, I see this rather unexpected behavior. Perhaps this is expected behavior and I am missing something here? Or perhaps there is something I have in my environment that is causing this? Any help here would be appreciated! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You receive...

I have a wizard which consists of two pages. To keep it simple let''s say that the first page asks the user to select a state from the drop down menu. In case the user doesn''t select any state, an error message needs to be displayed.

Hi list, first evening of playing with rails, so please forgive me if I ask something stupid. ;-) I created a User model and tried to use ActiveRecord callbacks to convert the password to sha1 just before saving it.

I''m following the acts_as_taggable chapter from the Rails Recipes book.
