similar to: Temporary disabling after_update

I have this situation where in an after_update, I would like to know the previous value of the record instead of simply being notified the record has been updated. For example let''s say I had a table called ''foo'' which had a field ''new_flag''. I want to know when the ''new_flag'' field changes from 0 -- > 1 in an after_update so I

Hey guys, I''m having a hard time w/ the after_update callback on rails... As far as I can tell, when I define a after_update callback on a model, the attributes of the object have the same values that they had *before* Base.save was called. I''m probably wrong so here''s the code: UNIT TEST: def test_register_item_adjusts_account_balance account =

I''ve got a strange behaviour that didn''t seem to be happening before I upgraded to 1.2. I''ve got two models - questions and results. When a user answers a question, his answer is recorded in results. In my results model, I have an after_create that increments! a count in the question model. This increment is now triggering an after_update method I have in a

With after triggers in Postgres, there are special NEW and OLD vars accessible to trigger functions. Any such thing in Rails? Or would it entail doing something like setting a class var in before_update? Jack -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How to update attribute(s) and save a record instance without triggering the hooks: after_save, after_create, after_update? I know it''s possible with Record.update() but this is dynamic. Only receive the instance, without knowing its class (thus cannot call the class method update()). Or is there a way of knowing the class and calling the class method? Thank you. -- Posted via

Observers will be no more as of Rails 4, farewell, never been much of a fan. However, I''m using it in one of my gems which enables model attributes for use with a WYSIWYM editor. The resulting markup is persisted, but in order to use it in a view, it has to be nokogiried in a helper which fragment caches the result. This cache has to be zapped once the model instance is either

I''ve read in rails api that there is a touch parameter and I want to use it in my application. I have something like that class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :phones after_update :updated def updated ... end end class Phone < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user, :touch => true end I want that every change of any phone number would change User updated_at

Hello. LoginSystem is cool, it populates the @session instance variable of controllers with many useful info. The fact is : it would be cool to let models know about the session, too. For instance, after_update and after_create callbacks could store *who* did *what* on *what. Aim : having ActiveRecord::Base::session defined, returning the @session of the controller which manipulates the

As far as I can tell, the counter_cache option on a belongs_to model doesn''t actually save anything in the database. For example, I have the following models: class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :children, :conditions => "deleted_at IS NULL" end class Child < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :parent, :counter_cache => true end With the following

Hi! I got a class named EinsatzFilter which I serialized to session. Before saving to session it works afterwards I keep getting the message: "undefined method `to_s'' for #<Person:0x38c6ab8>". "Person" is a from ActiveRecord::Base inherited class. Code: class EinsatzFilter include ApplicationHelper attr_reader :personen, :monat, :projekte, :kunde

I have a Topic that has_many comments. In the search results only want Topics to show up, but I want them to include the text of the comments that they have when they are indexed. To do this I''ve added a :comments_text field for acts_as_ferret and the comments_text method gathers the text from all comments up into a string that can be indexed. The trick is that when comments are added,

Hello, I''m running Mongrel 0.3.13.3, cluster 0.2.0, and Rails 1.1.6 and I have a problem with a sweeper not having access to the controller instance. NoMethodError (undefined method `session'' for nil:NilClass): /app/models/audit_sweeper.rb:16:in `log'' /app/models/audit_sweeper.rb:9:in `after_update''

Hi, I''ve started to implement page caches but I''ve hit a brick wall getting a sweeper to clear the cache when needed. It seems that any models that I tell it to observe aren''t being observed properly. If I add the sweeper to a controller the initialize method runs, but no matter what I do the after_save/after_update callbacks aren''t running. Also if I try to

Hi, I am deploying a Rails website using Capistrano to a VPS running the site through Apache and Mongrel. ''cap deploy'' works fine, and mongrels are restarted. When I execute ''cap deploy:rollback'', however, my script fails to restart the mongrels giving this error: !!! PID file tmp/pids/mongrel.5000.pid already exists. Mongrel could be running already.

Hi everyone- Model.update_all works and changes the records, but it''s not changing the updated_at field. Am I doing something wrong or is this by design?

I seem to be having problems with getting my searcher to be consistent while indexing. I am running the latest version of ferret (0.10.13) and I am using the Searchable plugin. Currently the way it indexes is by using a callback in the model of either after_update or after_create to index the fields that I have setup to be indexed. Right now I update the index about once every 4 or 5

Hi has anyone managed to use update_all with rails on postgres? In my setup, it does not work: >> @keyword.update_all(myupdates) NoMethodError: undefined method `update_all'' for #<Keyword:0xb7ac4670> from /home/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1786:in `method_missing'' from (irb):14 I checked that the base.rb

I need to be able to restart my server based on a specific database change. I''ve been trying a call to system("script/process/reaper -a graceful -d dispatch.fcgi") but that raises a transaction error which rolls back the save. I wasn''t aware that after_save would rollback. That''s potentially useful but pretty much not right now. Here''s my code: def

Hi I noticed that if in my code I use the following: Photo.update_all("title = ''Ruby rocks'' ", "id IN (#{@photo_ids})") All my objects are properly updated but none of the filters/callbacks are triggered. Is that what''s expected? I have a before_update filter set on the Photo class and it gets totally ignored, I guess the only way to solve this
