Hello there, I''m currently building a plugin, for which I need a before_save callback. The method I want to call is in module InstanceMethods, but when I add a before_save foo, foo, as defined as an InstanceMethod, never gets called. This is the first plugin I''m building, after only two weeks of fiddling with Ruby and Rails, so if anyone is kind enough to help me out.... :)

I''m trying to set a date field''s day to the last day of the month before I save it. I can do this successfully now using this code: class Account < ActiveRecord::Base def before_save self.exp_date = last_day_of_month(self.exp_date) end # Returns a Date object set to the last day of the current month def last_day_of_month(date = Date.today) next_month_str

There''s a small inconsistency in ActiveRecord''s callback syntax that has tripped me up before. It wouldn''t be a big deal, but it can lead to a silent failure. I''d like to suggest that it either be made consistent or be made to fail loudly. The issue is that to do something before validating, but only when creating, you use `before_validation on: :create`,

I am having a problem finding the best way to make a "before_save :encrypt_password" conditional. I have to at times update user model attributes but each time I do this the password is reencrypted because of the above. I need to differentiate between when the user is first logging in and the password does need to be encrypted, and when they are already logged in and the

works, but there are some issues. I've had asterisk up and running on a suse 9.0 beta 7 x86_64 for about two weeks now. I used then-current cvs, and the compile went smoothly with only a dozen complaints about 64 bit casting of pointer types. The good news : Latency is effectively non-existent (especially when compared to the lame c3 itx box I normally use), and asterisk has not crashed

Is it will known and accepted that before_save triggers should return true? I didn''t notice this before but now I see it in the documentation. Here is what I''m doing in my model: def before_save if self.has_album? self.visible = self.album.visible? end end That results in the expected result when album.visible? is true - but not when it is false. To make it

Yay, another Task model: ## the model class Task < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :lots, :of, :stuff, :but, :not, :finished_at, :and, :finished before_save do @before_save.call if @before_save end def finish self.finished = true @before_save = proc { self.finished_at = Time.now } end end ## usage t = Task.find(some_id) t.finish t.save (same code on pastie:

Hello, I am attempting to manipulate strings in which there are differing amounts of whitespace before and after each element taht I want to keep (any word, letter, or number). However, after strsplit and unlist, I know how to select specific elements with "[ ]", but I want to select instead all elements that are not missing. That is, do not select any elements that are simply

Is there a way to get the MIME extension of a file_column field? Here''s what I want to do (look for comment in before_save method): class ProductFile < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :product file_column :file_name def before_save self.file_type = # something that returns the MIME type (e.g. image/jpeg) end end TIA

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 =>

Hi there I''ve been running BackgroundRb in production for a few months now. Recently we added encryption onto some of our ActiveRecord fields by hooking in the before_save and after_save callbacks, like: class MyCallback def initialize(attr_names) @attr_names = attr_names end def before_save(model) @attr_names.each do |attr_name| next if

Hi, was tryin to do a restful method to allow users to change password.

Greetings, This, I hope, is a simply answered question. Based on Agile Web Development with Rails (depot application), I''m developing a single table application for contact info. There is only an admin side to this, so there''s always authentication. Part of the info record (member) is changed_by and changed_at which I automatically want updated. Changed_at looks after

I have a callback (before_save) that I want to trigger only when certain fields within a record have changed. For example given a user record with ''username'', ''password'' and ''date_of_birth'' I would like the callback to do something only when the ''username'' or ''password'' changes or when the
