similar to: Re: Observer

I''m not sure how to implement this so I''ll describe what I currently have done then what I wish to have happen currently, I have a generic observer for several models class AuditObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer observe Foo, Bar def after_update(model) model.log("UPDATED " + Time.now.strftime("%m-%d-%Y %H:%M")) end def after_create(model)

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,

In the RoR API documentation (http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Callbacks.html) for callbacks, there is a note that says: "*IMPORTANT:* In order for inheritance to work for the callback queues, you must specify the callbacks before specifying the associations. Otherwise, you might trigger the loading of a child before the parent has registered the callbacks and they won?t

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

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

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

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 building a login system, and I want users to be able to update their password, first name and last name after signing up. So, when signing up password can''t be nil, and it must be between 6..20 characters long. However, on update, the user can choose to leave the password field empty (but fill in other stuff, like first name) and then I want the User model to not update

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

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, 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.

Hello, I am exploring the "Testing" part of Rails, but It seems some things work differently than I thought it would. Consider the following model: class Client < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :project def after_create Project.new(:name => self.name, :is_client => true, :client_id => self.id).save end def after_update

I''m working on a model for a videos table that include the video info (title, description) and a couple of uploads (video file, thumb image) I was going to use the file_column plugin but I dont like the idea of storing the file names in the database when I dont need to, plus I dont think it is very flexible. Here''s what I done. What do you think of this? Any suggestions?

I created a sweeper ItemSweeper and saved it in app/models/item_sweeper.rb. Then I put this in my item_controller.rb: cache_sweeper :item_sweeper, :only => [:create, :destroy, :update] But now when I call the view action, I get this error: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `title'' for nil:NilClass) on line #5 of app/views/item/view.rhtml: 5: <H1

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

Hi Everyone, I thought I'd ask again and maybe someone knows the answer.. How come I can read/write to files on a share with any user, but the "Normal" attribute can only be set by the owner of the file. Is this by design or am I not setting the right configuration? How is the "Normal" attribute being handled in Samba? Thanks, Oleg. -------- Original Message --------
