Quick question: Given a basic plugin... how can I access an object that I instantiated in the acts_as method from an instance method? Probably some sort of accessor... but where? def self.included(base) base.extend ClassMethods end module ClassMethods def acts_as_test object = Object.new ## This object needs to be accessible from the Instance Methods end include

Hi, Just wondering when one would use "include" over "extend"? Both seem to bring in methods to the class no? The context is I''m just trying to understand why both are used with the acts_as_audited plugin: Full extract from plugin (used within here): ================================================== # Copyright (c) 2006 Brandon Keepers # # Permission is hereby

I''m using Restful Authentication, and the code to create a user is pretty straight forward - there is a before_save action and a before_create action: before_save :encrypt_password before_create :make_activation_code But for some reason when I try to create a user programmatically in the controller like this: User.new(:email =>

Hello everyone, I am developing a web app that is being used to track users and their associated events. Events could be like ''getting married'', ''having a baby'', ''buying a car'', etc. and each event has a median age associated with it. For instance the getting married median age is 25.

I''ve been reading about ActiveRecord::Callbacks and they''re really cool. But I have a complex need I''m not sure they answer. Let''s say we have a User model. User has a #status attribute, which can be either "active", "closed" or "blocked". I want to set a callback to perform an action if an "active" User has been

I have an odd error. I have the following module: module ActionController module SslSupport def self.included(base) raise "#{base} does not define url_for" unless base.method_defined?(:url_for) unless base.respond_to?(:url_for_without_ssl_supprt) base.send :include, InstanceMethods base.send :alias_method_chain, :url_for, :ssl_support end

We all know that acts_as_tree gives us ability to set up data in a tree-like structure and use methods like ''parent'', ''children'' and so on. Something I''m completely stuck on. Observe. class Page < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_tree def before_save raise self.parent.to_yaml end end Well, you''d think that it should show

Hi, I am having difficulties accessing parent properties/attributes from the child. Anyone could shed some lights onto this? Heres a sample code: class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base :has_many => :childs @connector def before_save @connector = ''some connector object'' 0..9.do |count| self.childs << Child.new self.childs[count].connector =

Dear list, I am trying to override an after_save callback declared in main app using plugin. The main model class is: class WorkHours < ActiveRecord::Base @after_save_call_back_called=0 after_save :after_save_call_back def after_save_call_back logger.debug "after save called" @after_save_call_back_called=1 end end And in my plugin (in the lib directory) : module

Hi all, I have a multi model form (Project with many tasks) and I want to prevent a task from being saved to the DB if it is empty ie. if there is no i/p for that task from the user. I tried the following class Task < ActiveRecord::Base before_save :check_if_empty ... def check_if_empty self.destroy if description.blank? end but i get this TypeError in ProjectsController#create

I am pondering the possibility of encrypting/decrypting some fields in a SQLite backend on-the-fly. The point of the message is not security, I know that''s broken, but whether there''s a technique that provides on-the-fly save/read filters. Of course the solution would need to work transparently in joins, so user.posts.last.title would do the right thing if title

Hello! Sometime ago I ran across a webpage where someone had identified the full callback sequence for an object lifecycle including AASM with it''s :enter and :exit and whatnot callbacks. Unfortunately, I can''t find it and searches don''t seem to help. Does anyone have a reference to a page that shows the callback sequence with Acts As State Machine (the gem)? I think

Hi, I was looking around a bit and couldn''t find any callbacks that executed before before_validation The current problem with using before_validation is that it won''t fire if I''m not using validations with #save(:validate => false) - which makes sense. Before_save won''t suffice because I want these callbacks to fire before validation on the occasions that

Hi plugin-authors. So this is a little bit of take two on this question, but why can''t I access a singleton on the model calling my plugin? The crux of the full plugin below is: #logger.info self.class.to_s new_copy = self.class.new( @copyable_attributes ) the logger spits out "Datatype", but I get an error from rails saying: undefined method `datatype'' for

I''m on the downhill side of a large project that requires an additional integer field to be added to the tag.rb in acts_as_taggable. I feel I have a good understanding of ActiveRecord and have performed the correct migrations. (As a short background for those following this thread) when one wants to add tags to a model they call the ''tag_with'' method that jumps into

hey folks I''ve installed the plugin acts_as_taggable_on_steroids (henceforth aatos), and i already have some tagging functionality set up, using the same approach (ie a Tag and a Tagging class with associated tables) as aatos. So, i want my existing Tag and Taggings methods, plus some other methods i have in a module which i include with the taggable classes (ie the ones that would call
