i new ror , in app, want make private posts public once users cancel paid service. in other words, user's private posts become public after user downgrades account level standard.
below how approach scenario:
subscriptionscontroller:
def downgrade subscription = current_user.subscription if subscription.delete downgrade_user_to_standard current_user_downgrade_posts flash[:success] = "sorry see go." redirect_to user_path(current_user) else flash[:error] = "can't downgrade @ moment." redirect_to root_path end end applicationcontroller:
protected def downgrade_user_to_standard current_user.update_attributes(role: "standard") end def current_user_downgrade_posts privateposts = current_user.posts.where(private: true) privateposts.each |privatepost| privatepost.posts_update_attributes(private: false) end end when tested on server , console, found private post created earlier not made public expected after downgrading premium user standard level. since there no error message when ran rails server, can point out me steps missed , how can make work?
thank in advance!
i don't think code should in controller well...
you should change:
privatepost.posts_update_attributes(private: false) with:
privatepost.update_attribute(:private, false) if don't care validations, callbacks , touch timestamps can remove loop , use:
current_user.posts.where(private: true).update_all(private: false)
