Quick question about userstamping records in a similar way to timestamping. There is an example of how this might work at: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Howto+Add+created_by+and+updated_by/versions/7 This seems to work fine on my development system. However, I am not sure how the User.current_user method, which is required, can guarantee to return the correct user since this is a

Hi, I want to automate somewhat the addition of created_by/updated_by fields on my models (i.e. to include username). What''s the best/recommended way to do this? Would it be to: a) Find out how to extend the ActiveRecord::Base itself (I haven''t extended a class before yet) b) Use a plugin type approach where you have to add a tag manually to each model file which then

Hi! Definite newbie here - I''m working through this like-hate relationship with Ruby and Rails right now... sometimes things work really well (like blobs seem to rock) but other times, I dunno! :-) Anyway, I''d like put in create and update user timestamps on all my primary domain tables and allow them to be updated automatically by ActiveRecord. Coming from Hibernate, I just

I had the Salted Login Hash Generator working at one point and then it just stoped working. It was around the time that I changed hosts and I think that it just might not be able to connect to the new server. I have tried everything though and it just doesn''t seem to work out. I''m now thinking that maybe it has to do with something else that I changed in the project. Is

DB field names: If I have a table that references 2 or more separate users from my users table, is there a recommended naming convention for this situation? In my case, I have 3 users associated with a record in my projects table: requester_user_id created_by updated_by I could name one of them "user_id", and then projects.user would work I guess, but wouldn''t work

Any ideas on why this is? The quantity field in mysql is INT, but I get back a string?

For some reason I can imagine a case where multiple users are logged in at the same time and saving objects, and the value of
