similar to: write attribute coming from where?

(This message was originally written on StackOverflow -- the formatting is much prettier there -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1283046/problem-with-setter-override-on-activerecord) This is not exactly a question, it''s rather a report on how I solved an issue with write_attribute when the attribute is an object, on Rails'' Active Record. I hope this can be useful to others

Hi, I am having trouble using before_create when I have an specialized setter method: before_save :set_campaign_start #----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- def set_campaign_start self.campaign_start = Time.now end # We want the date to always start at midnight

Hey.. So I have a model that has a lot of number fields. Each of these go through a process when read in and read out to add/remove commas (between every three numbers) to make them more readable. The getter I currently have is like this: def sale_price Listing.insert_commas(read_attribte (:sale_price)) end and the setter is: def sale_price=(price) write_attribute(:saleprice,

I have a field called Fax in my model. I store it as a 10-digit number with no other characters but I display it as a nicely formatted phone number. I have a validation on it like this: validates_format_of :Fax, :message => ''number should be formatted using (XXX) XXX-XXXX'', :with => /^\(\d{3}\)\ ?\d{3}-\d{4}$/ If I put 1234567890 (10 digits) in my field, the

Hello! I''ve modified ActiveRecord a bit to support enum columns. This is tested only with MySQL, and maybe needs some changes for other adapters (if they use another syntax or quoting style). I believe this patch should be tested well, so I haven''t (yet) tried to post it to the official Trac. It is also not solid-as-a-rock when it comes to quoting ENUM values. After

In my project I have a group of foreign types (C++ classes) that I want to use, but don't want to represent as structs within LLVM. For example, for each field in each C++ class I have a setter and getter function that I'd like to use. The setters and getters are "extern C" functions to avoid problems with C++'s name mangling. After going over the documentation it

Hi, I have a model similar Basket shown below. If customer_type is set then it should also set customer to nil. Likewise, if I set customer, it should inspect the customer_type attached to the customer and set accordingly within Basket. However implementing it as below doesn''t seem to work. Am I missing a better way to achieve this? I had also considered using a before_save

Hello, an S4 class "Foo" is defined with a setter, $. For several reasons, the setter calls a function, .foo.update(). However, bypassing the argument names of the setter does not work. Question 1: Why not and how can I fix this? Question 2: What is the way to define either the function or the setter to modify the original object (not returning the modified copy of it an overwrite the

Hi! Uhm are attributes just something like additional members of a class, other than those that come from the names of columns in the table? I''ve got images table, which has ''name'' column. I''ve added support for creating thumbnails out of uploaded pictures and i''d like to have an easy way of accessing them in my views. How to do it? I.e. my image

Hi all, I''m trying to overwrite a setter method, but am running into some difficulties. This is normally really easy when overwriting a setter for a table column, but in this case it is the setter for an associated object. Here''s a hypothetical example: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :posts end class Post < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user

Im developing a User model for my application (newbie stuff, but I have to start somewhere). I followed the tutorial at http://sonjayatandon.com/05-2006/how-to-build-a-secured-web-application-with-ruby-on-rails/ and decided to add an email field. The problem is that the email is not being saved on the database and I end up with two email variables: @email and email. validates_presence_of

Anyone else able to successfully insert a date time value into a SQL Server table using

I have written the followign setter to raise an exception when the field disabled_on is beeing assigned a value minor or equal that the enabled_on field. class Survey < ActiveRecord::Base def disabled_on=(date) raise AssignmentException if date != nil and date <= self.enabled_on write_attribute(:disabled_on, date) end end The matter is that this method never gets called, as I

In the Ruby bindings, set_X and get_X are renamed to remove the get/set, so MSet::get_matches_estimated() becomes a read-only property (if I have my terminology right) of the Ruby MSet class called matches_estimated. This matches how a Ruby programmer would expect a class to be designed. I was looking through the getters and setters list. I wonder if a few entries shouldn't be there, (the
