Thanks for pointing out my schoolboy error there Jon!
This now works:
post '/new' do
@page = Page.create(params[:page])
@page.url = '/mysite/' << @page.id.to_s
@page.save
....etc
But this feels really ugly - surely this logic should be in the model,
not the controller? In this implementation, the url only gets saved
when the resource is created on the web.
Is there a way to do something similar using the after :create hook? I
can't see why this doesn't work, as it should do the same as the code
above:
after :create do
self.url ='/mysite/' << self.id.to_s
self.save
end
cheers,
DAZ
