A quick note about acts_as_modified, acts_as_ordered and validates_date_time. If you are using any of those plugins you should update them. They''ve all had improvements/bug fixes. Also, acts_as_modified is now being maintained by both Chris Hall and myself. http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/acts_as_ordered http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/acts_as_modified

After a couple of thoughtful comments, I''ve made changes to acts_as_modified plugin. It no longer relies on after_find and after_initialize, which were both causing performance issues. Please check it out and let me know what you think, where you might recommend improvements or additional features and what not. One feature I do have planned (again, thanks to comments), but

How do you tell if an foreign key attribute has been changed? For example, lets say you have a model with attribute table_a_id. Would you do this? def table_a_id=(value) if value != table_a_id @table_a_changed = true write_attribute ''table_a_id'', value end end def table_a=(value) if value != table_a @table_a_changed = true

Is there a way to determine if attributes were changed? Let''s say in the before_save or after_save method? Thanks for your help.

Hello I need to check that the NHS numbers in my database are valid. I''m storing them as ten-digit strings: the first nine are the identifier and the tenth is a check digit. There are four steps to calculating the check digit (from http://www.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/systemsandservices/nsts/docs/tech_nn_check_digit.pdf): 1. multiply each of the first nine digits by a weighting factor

If the associated object of a has_one association has been loaded, it is resaved when the parent is saved. Eg: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :user end class User < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person end p = Person.find(:first) p.save # As expected, nothing happens with the user association p.user # Loads the associated object p.save # As well as saving the person, the

Hi, What''s the best way to hook into any changes made to the value of a single model attribute? I need to know when the encrypted_password attribute on my User model changes i.e. when the user has changed their password. I''m not interested in the actual changed value, I just need to know when it''s been changed so that I can regenerate their API key as well. Thanks in

Ask and ye shall receive. 1.1.3 now has a plugin test. i had one small issue with after_save being called, so i added the callback in. it works when i create a test app and run the unit tests so i think it has something to do with how i override the save method. if you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment. As far as the AR test suite goes...I''m not sure how this plugin

I''m creating an AR object in my controller and then attempting to add error messages to it: if (master_storeids.nil?) @item.errors.add_to_base ''No store is selected'' end This works without error but when it comes time for AR to add the record, it apparently initializes the errors because the message that I added does not cause the AR add to fail as you would

Nothing special, just my first plugin. it came out of a request I saw on the list from someone who wanted to be able to tell if a model''s attributes had changed prior to being saved. Well, this plugin does just that (at least I hope it does). http://rubyforge.org/projects/actsasmodified/ Please see the README for details. Constructive comments and criticisms are appreciated.

Hi, I''ve searched the Agile.. book and tried google etc. but my main problem is not being able to think of keywords. I''m trying to save something with user info, and then further info if they are staff in a one-to-one relationship. I can do this all fine and good. def create @user = User.new(params[:user]) @staff_member = StaffMember.new(params[:staff_member])

Railsoids: FormTestHelper rules. It tests your response.body form at the same time as it triggers your action, with all the parameters in that form. This obviously improves quality. But it took issue with this: submit_form ''validate_stuff'' do |form| form[''IBhidden''] = ''validate'' end The field IBhidden is a hidden field. To be

Hey Guys, Again, I am just learning Rails, so I am asking advice here. I have a model called Company which has many Owners. The Owners model indicates the name of the owner and their share (as a percentage) of the company. The total shares for any one company can not be more than 100%. So if I have 10 owners each with 10% of the company and I update one of the owners and set their share to 11%,

I''m trying to assign a parent foreign key value using collection_select from my child "new" form.

You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating

Hi again... One more item.. the file_column plugin uses a tmp directory inside the /public directory to store a temporary uploaded item. But it looks like this folder is just going to grow and grow. Is there some way to clear this out or not cause this to happen? Thanks once again! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
