I've got group of updates that I call in certain cases. They update data in different tables if specific conditions are met when a new row is saved to the "drive" (see below) database table. I suspect that I should make a method out of the group and reuse it in all the cases, but when I do that I'm getting errors that one of the objects is null. Here's what the method should look like, but it's not functioning when called.
def goal_achieved_update goal.update_attributes (:achieved => 1, :achieved_on => @drive.drive_date) @best_drive.update_attributes (:state => 1) @drive.update_attributes (:state => 8) end
Should I be passing arguments to this method? Or perhaps it should be in the model and not in the controller?
Any direction to sample code where a update method is created are reused would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help!! Bob.
