I need to add an attribute to a model but there is no need to add a
corresponding database field. The model is a child of ActiveRecord and
it corresponds to a table in my DB but when I add it in the usual Ruby
way, I get a ‘number of redirects exceeded’ error.
Here is my code;
The model;
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
attr :status
end
The controlller;
if params[:id] then @category = Category.find(params[:id])
else @category = Category.find_by_default_category('1')
end
@category.status = 1
The view (just to access it)
<% for category in @categories %>
<%= category.status %>
etc…
So, is there a way to add an attribute to an existing table based model?
