Agreed - the "oh, but I didn't tell you about this condition" syndrome. > :-) Let's split the difference... create a method on the user model that checks for .changed? and sends the email, but rather than using it as an AR callback to hook *every* update, call it from those controller methods you want to, and use the default update_attributes elsewhere... how's that sound? Something along the lines of: # User model def update_attributes_and_notify self.attributes = attributes send_email if changed? save end # Users controller @user = User.find(params[:id]) if @user.update_attributes_and_notify(params[:user]) working --------- else ---- end # Some other controller @user = User.find(params[:user_id]) if @user.update_attributes(params[:user]) working --------- else ---- end -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
