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.

Hi all ! I''m having an issue and I can''t seem to make heads or tails of it. I am attempting to add an observer to a model object. I created app/models/greenback_transaction_observer.rb, inherited from AR::Observer, defined methods, registered in config/environment.rb, but things don''t work... So, I took a step back and put in the following code: class

I''m trying to be a good rails developer and fix DRY violations as i find them. However, i''m trying to fix this one, i cant seem to get it to work. I have two tables A and B that have a one-to-one relationship. Table B belongs_to Table A. Table A has_one Table B. I''m creating instances of Table A in different places, depending on the controller. However, for each

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

Help please. I''m trying to observe a User class, but I can''t get this to work, the after_create method never gets called... (the breakpoint never gets called) app/models/user_observer.rb: class UserObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer def after_create(user) breakpoint setting =

Hi all, I have a problem with an observer. I have a simple observer... class ActivityObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer observe Customer def after_create(model) bind_params(model) @al.action = "create" @al.save logger "#{model.id} : created" end private def bind_params(model) @al = ActivityLog.new @al.user_id = User.current.id

I''ve got a model Message, which needs to send an email using action mailer after it''s first saved in the database. I want to pass the model to the mailer which then uses methods on the message model to render the email. So the natural way to do this is in an after_create callback on the Message model. But I can''t see an easy way to test this. Here''s my spec

All, I''ve been trying to figure out a strange bug in one of my applications that I think I''ve narrowed down to a problem with rails fixtures. It seems as though the after_create callback is being run twice when I save a record. This is only happening a) in the test environment, and b) when there is a fixture file for that table. The test below only prints "Doing

I have a User model with a protected method defined: def set_role(rolename) role = Role.find_by_rolename(rolename) permission = Permission.new permission.role = role permission.user = self permission.save(false) end and a subclass with: after_create set_role(''client'') This always fails for me with the error: undefined method `set_role''

I have a pretty strange problem. Here is basically what I have to demonstrate my problem: class Event < ActiveRecord::Base def after_create AnotherClass.find_event(id) end end class AnotherClass < ActiveRecord::Base def self.find_event(event_id) e = Event.find event_id end end Here is the catch 22 and it''s quite annoying. Basically ActiveRecord puts to whole save

Scenario: I''m creating an image file upload service for my web site. As well as saving the actual file I also need to create a database record for the file. I would like to name the file after the record id, but I also need to save some attributes of the image (width/height/mime_type etc) which I can''t discover until after the file is created. The Problem: 1) The id is not

I use authlogic for authentication and paperclip for handling user''s profile picture attachments. I use the following method to get the current_user def current_user_session return @current_user_session if defined? (@current_user_session) @current_user_session = UserSession.find end def current_user return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)

I have a new @offer that needs to generate a document if saved. But that''s all or nothing: transaction do @offer.save! generate_document end # handle exceptions if needed If save! fails everything is fine, but if generate_document raises an exception @offer is left as a model with timestamps, id, which is not a new_record? anymore (though the database was

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

eh, like so? def after_create(model) generate_hotel_param_files(model.id) generate_hotel_setup_files(model.id) end def after_update(model) generate_hotel_param_files(model.id) generate_hotel_setup_files(model.id) end On Jul 21, 9:59 am, David Nguyen <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote: > Hi, > I have to make an observer if a

I have a STI class tree. I want to set some default values (calculated values so I can''t set it in the database as defaults) on every created instance regardless of what subclass is actually instantiated. So I figured adding a after_create callback in the top class in the hierarchy should do the trick. It seems it doesn''t get called :( Code: class SuperClass <

For example - i have a sweeper for one model(in this case About). class AboutSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper observe About def after_create(data) expire_about(data) end def after_save(data) expire_about(data) end def after_destroy(data) expire_about(data) end def expire_about(data) FileUtils.rm_rf

In a nutshell, I''m using restful_authentication that emails the user when they sign up for an account The development.log file shows the body of the e-mail message being prepped to send out, but doesn''t show confirmation that it made it. When I use gmail''s SMTP server, a Rails exception is thrown because gmail expects an encrypted connection. A different type of Rails

Hi, Why is cache_sweeper not a documented method? I was pretty sure it used to be, but I could be wrong. I can''t seem to find any information on it anymore in the online docs. As a side note, looking at the code for cache_sweeper it appears to only work with the :only option, not :except (ignores it)... what''s the reason for this? Thanks, Andrew
