 Hi
   I remember once I read about to get only updated fields from an
 update_attributes method. Means say I have a model user with
 name,age,sex etc And when the user updates the information I have to
 first check whether he actually updated anything(There is a chance that
 update button from view simply being clicked) and if only any updates
 happened I have to get that updated fields and send a mail stating that
 these fields are updated. How can I do this. Suppose in the above
 example if only  name updated


 Thanks

Tom, you should be able to do the following to get the attributes that have
been changed:

model_instance.changed

Next, you'll need to store this information prior to saving the changes
to the database.  Otherwise, the above method will return an empty array.

Good luck,

-Conrad
