similar to: :has_many and :after_save

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, it would be nice to have the touch option in has_many associations also. I have a scenario like this: An user has some credit (money) and some advertises.

Each time the money of the user change, the advertises are touched, enabled/disabled and then cached, as they are much

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

Does after_save in a model delete if an exception is raised in there? I simply did def after_save raise ''hmmm'' end and it raised the exception but there was nothing in the database.

Hi, I have a Product and a corresponding Keyword (1:1 via belongs_to and has_one). I want to ensure, that two attributes (:name) of the two models alway stay in sync. What''s the easiest way to accomplish that? I did play around with before_/after_save hooks and with AR::Observers but in the end I''d always get infinite recursion... Thanks, Timo

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.

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, What way is the best to do imports of CSV files?

While I''m happy to continue talking about the vagaries of Rails deployments, I also need to actually build apps. :) I may have discovered a bit of a problem with :include as it applies to has_one associations. First, let me say that I''m a big fan of :include for reducing the number of SQL calls. There are times when I wish it could go more than 1 step away from the parent
