I have a case where I am abstracting the creation of models. After a fair bit of indirection, I eventually get around to making a .new call. I need to be able to pass params to that .new call. I know I can''t use def initialize() in an AR model (rather frustrating). So, I have found some references to after_initialize, but that doesn''t work either. I see several threads on

Just starting a new thread so that it''s easy to follow. I just submitted a patch at trac to add a new class method called "set_default_values" ( not a great name I think ), which lets you do all kinds of crazy stuff with setting default values. This ticket is at http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9093 and example pastie is at http://pastie.caboo.se/81925 It also lets you make

Hi, I have a model similar Basket shown below. If customer_type is set then it should also set customer to nil. Likewise, if I set customer, it should inspect the customer_type attached to the customer and set accordingly within Basket. However implementing it as below doesn''t seem to work. Am I missing a better way to achieve this? I had also considered using a before_save

Hi everyone, i have 20 fields in users table. in my admin profile module the admin can modify his infomation. but only 12 fields he can able to modify. so in my controller if params[ :profileinfo ][:first_name] @profileinfo.update_attribute(:first_name,params[ :profileinfo ][:first_name]) end the above simply saves what i enter into the field.why it doesnot consider the modelvalidation.

I''ve tried running Heckle with rspec on some of my classes, but keep getting (what I believe to be) an infinite recursion. Is there some way to supply extra options to heckle via. rspec? Scott

One of my models has a column that is updated very frequently from a separate process, so it is important that when a record is saved in rails, this column should be left alone. In the update method of the controller I have: @record = MyModel.find(params[:id]) @record.update_attributes(params[:my_model]) params[:my_model] doesn''t have a reference to the column I''m talking

Hey.. So I have a model that has a lot of number fields. Each of these go through a process when read in and read out to add/remove commas (between every three numbers) to make them more readable. The getter I currently have is like this: def sale_price Listing.insert_commas(read_attribte (:sale_price)) end and the setter is: def sale_price=(price) write_attribute(:saleprice,

Hi, I have some problems with an application where I''m using custom accessors to do currency conversions. In my model, I have a price attribute in the database that stores the value in cents, to avoid future problems with float arithmetic and round. But at the views, I would like to show the price in euros, with decimal for the cents. So I defined a new attribute called price_in_euros,

Hello! I''m new to Mocha and through experimentation I found out something that is not explicitly stated in the documentation: If you need to mock the same function call with different parameters and results, you can set the scope of expectations with a begin ... end block. I also made up an example on how to expect more than one function call with different parameters and return values.

All, I''m wanting to initialize an ActiveRecord object. I understand that there is a method called after_initialize that appears to get called right after the ActiveRecord object is instantiated.
