Module: ActiveRecordUpdateAttributesBipExtension

Extended by:
ActiveSupport::Concern
Defined in:
app/models/active_record_update_attributes_bip_extension.rb

Overview

This module overrides the regular ‘update_attributes` method in order to fix some issues with best_in_place. For unknown reasons, best_in_place keeps sending post requests with empty strings — without pattern we could recognize, so far. Therefore, this hack is a quick fix to avoid accidental data loss until we have fixed the real issue, which is on the view/js side, really.
