similar to: Using session-type data in an ActiveRecord callback...

I use authlogic for authentication and paperclip for handling user''s profile picture attachments.

I''m trying to add some code for my ActiveRecord class so that it is executed whenever an object is updated, this code is a seperate process that reads from the same table represented by my model class so when it runs it needs the database to be up to date. In the following situation this is fine: # MyModel def after_save `/usr/local/bin/update_models -i #{self.id}` end # controller

Hi, there must be something wrong somewhere in my unit test because there''s a model I can''t have any callback executed on. In my unit test I do @image = Image.new @image.set_uploaded_file({:file => uploaded_file("pic1.jpg","image/jpeg","article-picture.jpg"), :article_id => @article.id, :title => ''Titre

class User < AR end user = User.new Let''s say that I have a user instance with me. After this record is saved I want an after_save callback which would print the id of the record. The only catch is that I am not allowed to change the User class. How can I accomplish my goal? Is that even possible to add an after_save callback on a particular instance object. Any metaprogramming

Hey guys, Firstly, I''m new to the list and great work with backgroundrb, it''s sweet!!! I''ve just started noticing an issue and i''m wondering if there is a standard fix. The situation is as follows: 1. In my model''s after_save I call my worker asynchronously with the active record object''s id as a parameter (the record that has just

Hi, AFAIK after_create is called after_save if the entry does not exist in the DB. Is there a way to tell if a specific model is new or not in after_save? I have to do something like: def after_save add_to_history ''save'' end def after_create add_to_history ''create'' end However after_save is called when creating too. -- cheers, M.

I have a very strange problem here. I do not get this. So any help is greatly appreciated. Basically I have a model that calls a method in the background process in the "after_save" method. Let''s call the model products. So what happens is this: 1. I create a new product. 2. Everything works and the product is saved with id 13. 3. A method is called in my background

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

I have a Production model, which represents a farmer''s crop. After create (via after_save) I call a method that creates one or more Supply models, which represent a week of anticipated product harvest. After each of those are created, a class method gets called that tries to match each new Supply with outstanding orders for the same time period. If a match is made, a transaction (an

Hi, Something has been bothering me about model validation: how do I know that the database has not changed in between when I validate my model''s data, and when it actually gets saved to the database? As a simple example, say I have a User model like: class User validates_uniqueness_of :username end When this gets saved to the database, the validation code checks that there is

Anyone know what''s up with the activerecord session store when using the oracle adapter in Rails 2.0.2 ? I can set a session variable and can then see it''s actually set using the debugger, but after the request completes the session is empty (the @data member is nil). The session_id is staying the same and the updated_at field is being updated but nothing I put in a session

Hi all, I''m running into a brick wall trying to figure out my problem here. I have a model that has a boolean property called "paid".

I want to write a function that after an ActiveRecord saves successfully, can show me what the before and after values of a particular column are. Is this possible without creating a separate object before modifying the current one? -John

I try to understand the following issue : - when creating a new User record, I use an UserObserver to trap the before_save call back and send an email def after_create(user) UserNotifier.deliver_signup_notification(user) end - Once created a user can ask for a password reset, which is also trapped by the UserOberver def after_save(user) UserNotifier.deliver_reset_password(user) if
