Hi there, Her is the thing.
Let's say, I have model "Phonebook", which has two fields "phone_number" and "full_name". I also have view, with form which asks for "full_name" and (important here) couple of fields: phone_int phone_area phone_number phone_extension They all need to be concated like phone_int (phone_area) phone_number ext. phone_extension i.e. phone_int = +1 phone_area = 415 phone_number = 321-2345 phone_extension = 101 it need to become phone_number = +1 (415) 321-2345 ext. 101 Do not ask me why the hell am I doing this thing, it's just an example, and yes, there are some legacy database structure cases where something like that has to be done :-) So here in controller I am doing @phonebook.update_attributes(params[:phonebook]) and fields phone_int, phone_area, phone_number, phone_extension are defined with attr_accessor in the model. So, where do I do the concatenation process? In the model? Do I do it before calling update_attributes in controller? What will be the best practice? I see it can have it place in the model, but where should I put it exactly so it'll work out before update_attributes?
