Hi all,
I am fiddling around with a Setting model (a modified version of http://beautifulpixel.com/articles/2006/02/25/settings-plugin) that should scope settings by a domain_id. I have created a class accessor so that I can set the domain_id in the model from the session.
The class looks a little like this:
class Setting < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :domain
---snip ---
#set a setting value by notation def self.=(var_name, value) if self[var_name] != value var_name = var_name.to_s
record = find(:first, :include => :setting_type, :conditions => ['domain_id = ? AND var = ?', @@domain_id, var_name]) if record.nil? type = SettingType.find_by_var(var_name) record = Setting.new(:setting_type => type) end record.value = value.to_yaml
#TODO why cant i just use @@domain_id??? record.domain = Domain.find(@@domain_id)
record.save end end end
This seems to work but I would like to just use the value of @@domain_id and apply it to the 'record' object like this:
record.domain_id = @@domain_id
except that doesn't work. I can't for the life of me work out why. Every other time I access @@domain_id it grabs the value except in this case. Strange!
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
