Hi,
I’m building a little app that tracks shipments - each user is
associated with a role and that role has_many shipments.
I’d like to add a feature that displays new shipments since the user’s
last login. Here is my guess at an implementation:
- create a column in the users_table last_login that timestamps the
users last login (duh) - when the user logs in, the previous last_login is saved to a
variable (instance? attr_accessor?) then overwritten with the current
login timestamp - @unseen_shipments = Shipments.find(:all, :conditions => ["created_at
?", last_login])
All advice and criticism is welcome… thanks!
