Hi all, I just have a question about shared model methods. I have a method that will be used for quite a few models in my application (once I've cleaned it up a bit). Where can I place shared model methods? I know that controllers can use helpers or even the application_controller. But, what do models use for a shared mechanism? Is it config/initialize?
Can someone explain a quick process for it? Here's an example of a shared model method that I will be using: def self.list(search, page, orderby, sortby, numteams, datevar) datevar = todaysdate if datevar.empty? || datevar.nil? || DATE_VALIDATE_REG.match(datevar).nil? convert_time = datevar.to_time.beginning_of_week week_start_date = convert_time.to_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') named_scope :compiled_on_week, lambda { { :conditions => ['compiled_on >= ? and compiled_on <= ?', week_start_date, datevar] } } orderby = "rank" if orderby.nil? || orderby.empty? orderall = (sortby != 'asc' && sortby != nil) ? "DESC" : "ASC" compiled_on_week.paginate :joins => :team, :conditions => ['name like ?', "%#{search}%"], :order => orderby + " #{orderall}", :per_page => numteams, :page => page end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
