Thanks radhames but I'm not trying to implement auditing. I'm trying to create a wiki like system for books so I have versioning, which is what vestal_version does. The 'acts_as_audited' is more about creating an audit trail of all activity and isn't about seeing past versions, reverting etc...
I did find this one post that talks about what I'm trying to get working: http://github.com/laserlemon/vestal_versions/issues/unreads#issue/7 The thinking is now: def update @book.update_attributes(params[:book].merge(:updated_by => current_user)) end It isn't working yet but I think we're close :)!
