model - Rails: How do I run a before_save only if certain conditions are met? -

-

i have before_save method call renames uploaded image.

before_save :randomize_file_name  def randomize_file_name   extension = file.extname(screen_file_name).downcase   key = activesupport::securerandom.hex(8)   self.screen.instance_write(:file_name, "#{key}#{extension}") end

that method part of item model.

that works great when create new item or need update image associated item...but problem if need update item not image, randomize_file_name method still gets run , renames file in database (though not file itself, obviously).

so, i'm thinking need figure out way run randomize_file_name if file included in form submission...but i'm not sure how pull off.

use dirty objects.

before_save :randomize_file_name  def randomize_file_name   # assuming field holds name   # called screen_file_name   if screen_file_name_changed?     extension = file.extname(screen_file_name).downcase     key = activesupport::securerandom.hex(8)     self.screen.instance_write(:file_name, "#{key}#{extension}")   end end

(or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

-
example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
