Perhaps plugins shouldn't be defining those methods, and instead use the callback class methods: class Foo < AR::Base before_save :do_this_one_last_thing protected def do_this_one_last_thing end end Otherwise, this could cause issues for someone overwriting a parent's callback, expecting to override it completely. -- Rick Olson http://techno-weenie.net _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
