Thank you for the info and examples. That clarifies how Hobo does things.
In particular I have a better grasp of how lifecycles and instance methods
are handled.
With view_permitted?, can I reference a field name and also another field
in the same record? So if, for example, I have a 'user' object that has a
tasker boolean and a 'project' that has a review text and lifecycle state
that I am checking is "Finished". I only want the tasker to see the review
field when the lifecycle state is "Finished" So:
def view_permitted?(field)
acting_user.administrator? ||
(field == :review && acting_user.tasker? && :state == "Finished")
end
I realize that the ':state == "Finished"' syntax is probably bad. But maybe
you can see what I'm getting at: I want to be able to reference the :state
field in the same record to determine visibility of the :review field. I
imagine this is possible but it may not work the way I think, or there may
be a better way to define that type of permission.
Thanks
