Yay, another Task model:
## the model class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :lots, :of, :stuff, :but, :not, :finished_at, :and, :finished
before_save do @before_save.call if @before_save end
def finish self.finished = true @before_save = proc { self.finished_at = Time.now } end end
## usage t = Task.find(some_id) t.finish t.save
(same code on pastie: Parked at Loopia)
I'm thinking that going self.finished-at = Time.now directly in the finish method will cause finished_at to be a bit earlier that updated_at. I want it to be the same.
Ideas? The method above is working, but it seems a bit overkill.
