Instance Method Details

#stampable(options = {}) ⇒ Object

This method is automatically called on for all classes that inherit from ActiveRecord, but if you need to customize how the plug-in functions, this is the method to use. Here’s an example:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  stampable :stamper_class_name => :person,
            :creator_attribute  => :create_user,
            :updater_attribute  => :update_user,
            :deleter_attribute  => :delete_user
            :deleter            => true,
            :optional           => true
end

The method will automatically setup all the associations, and create before_save and before_create filters for doing the stamping. By default, the deleter association and before filter are not defined unless you are using acts_as_paranoid or you set the :deleter_attribute or set the :deleter option to true.

#without_stamps ⇒ Object

Temporarily allows you to turn stamping off. For example:

Post.without_stamps do
  post = Post.find(params[:id])
  post.update_attributes(params[:post])
  post.save
end
