So, I took a step back and put in the following code: class

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

Hey guys, I''m having a hard time w/ the after_update callback on rails...

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/.

Hello, I am exploring the "Testing" part of Rails, but It seems some things work differently than I thought it would.

I have a model called Post and a observer called PostObserver. I also have in environment.rb file the line: config.active_record.observers = :post_observer I read that observers default to the model with the same name, but the model class isn''t being observed. Observe works if I put in the ForumController: observer :post_observer But this doesn''t seem right. Jose --

With observers, you have to do (according to AWDWR): ItemObserver.Instance What is ''.Instance''? I''ve looked in both the Rails and Ruby docs and don''t see any mention. I presume it''s like ''new''? thanks csn -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
