using userstamps in existing schema

This Rails plugin extends ActiveRecord::Base to add automatic updating of created_by and updated_by attributes of your models in much the same way that the ActiveRecord::Timestamp module updates created_(at/on) and updated_(at/on) attributes.

using userstamps in existing schema #2

Open brecke opened 14 years ago

brecke commented 14 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to use t.userstamps with change_table instead of create_table in migrations? I'd like to use this with an existing database and I can't get it to work that way, i keep getting this error:

undefined method `userstamps' for #ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Table:0x102e99f78

What am i doing wrong? How can i fix this?

thanks in advance, _ miguel

+1 t.userstamps doesn't seem to work with change_table - just create_table

Just change vendor/plugins/userstamp/lib/migration_helper.rb to at the bottom read:

ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition.send(:include, Ddb::Userstamp::MigrationHelper) ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Table.send(:include, Ddb::Userstamp::MigrationHelper)

(i.e., add the last line)

cool, thanks.

There's still an issue with this, now apparently when creating the table, because the ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition line is missing. Would it be possible for you to just merge one of the two working pull requests #19 or #21?
