Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to when you find a record to keep the original value of the attributes. This would allow to see if an attribute has changed at save time and then do something. I am sure there is an cool way in rails to do this!
Thanks......
You can store it in the #after_find hook:
class Thing < ActiveRecord::Base def after_find @original_name = name end end
Have a look at acts_as_audited it does exactly what you want.
Both brilliant options.... Thank you for your help!
