I would like to apply logical delete in my application(Instead of permanently deleting a record just have been marked as deleted). I have Added *available* column to all tables with default value *true*. Now I want common place to write the following code for all models.
1. Write the instance method which make 'available' column value false when user clicks on destroy link. 2. Merge the 'available=true' condition to all ActiveRecord's queries while fetching the records. With reference Rails extending ActiveRecord::Base<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2328984/rails-extending-activerecordbase>, I decided to use monkey patch to do above. Created monkey patch file in config/initializer/active_record_patch.rb: class ActiveRecord::Base def inactive update_attribute(:available, false) end default_scope :available => true end Getting following error when add the default_scope */gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/activerecord-3.0.9/lib/active_record/base.rb:1212:in class_of_active_record_descendant': undefined methodabstract_class?' for Object:Class (NoMethodError)* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
