Calling model methods even when the param is a not set

Rails
1

Hello,
I’m setting a checkbox values based on the return of a model field
method. The way the method is set up - it only gets called when a
checkbox value is set.

Here’s the model code:

  def within=(new_within)
     @within = new_within == "1" || new_within == true || new_within ==
'true' || new_within == 'on'
  end

I would like that method to be called even when the checkbox is not set.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Could you provide me the check box script in view?

you can put additional params in form_tag

example :

<% from_tag bla…bla…, :within => true %>

…

<% end_from_tag %>

I hope it can answer yours. it will be directly executed each time the
form_tag is run. What do you want this ‘def within’ is run for every
time model is used or only in form_tag?

Here’s the checkbox code:

<input style=“height:13px;” id=“<%= search_obj %>_within” name=“<%=
search_obj %>[within]” type=“checkbox” <%=
!last_search[:within].to_s.blank? ? “checked=‘true’” : “” %> value=“1”/>

Also, here’s the form_remote_tag code:

<%= form_remote_tag(:url => {:controller => ‘main’, :action => action},
:html => { :id => “#{search_obj}_form”, :action => url_for(:controller
=> ‘main’, :action => action) } ) %>

I would like to have the def within to be run everytime the form_tag is
called.

I tried putting the :within => true in the form_remote_tag and had no
results.

Thanks again for your help.
