Functionality to Test

• [ ] When adding an Offer or Salary, you can enter in 50,000 or 50000 or $50000 and the application can respond accordingly, saving the Salary amount as 50000, an int.
• [ ] When an Offer or Position is added, the message at the bottom of the Entry thread is formatted well (something like "earning $50,000 (yearly)")

If I'm understanding you correctly... Could you try an after_initialize callback in the Salary model?

[halfghaninne]

Just saw this, sorry.

I think it will be too late. Upon initialization, the Salary's amount gets truncated to 30.

I suppose I could do some work like...

after_initialize :do_the_thing

def do_the_thing
   # if rate == 0 amount should be multiplied by 1000, probably
   # continue to make other assumptions based on rate of the Salary object
   # which I don't like and was trying to avoid for some reason
end

If that is the approach I take, I don't see much difference between using an after_initialize and before_save callback.
