I can''t seem to get a model observer to work. In my environment.rb I have: config.active_record.observers = :item_observer In item_observer.rb I have: class ItemObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer observe Item def after_update(item) if @old.active != item.active logger.debug ''observer#after_update'' #... end @old = nil end def before_update(item) logger.debug ''observer#before_update'' @...

With observers, you have to do (according to AWDWR): ItemObserver.Instance What is ''.Instance''? I''ve looked in both the Rails and Ruby docs and don''t see any mention. I presume it''s like ''new''? thanks csn -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
