Globalize Versioning
Introduction
globalize-versioning
provides an interface between globalize and versioning gems such as
PaperTrail.
At the moment, only paper_trail
is supported, but support for other versioning gems is
planned for the future. Pull requests are always welcome.
Installation
gem install globalize-versioning
When using bundler, add this line to your Gemfile
:
gem 'globalize-versioning'
Usage
To add versioning
support to your model, just add the :versioning
option to your
call to <code>translates</code> with the name of the versioning gem as its value.
For example:
translates :title, :content, :published, :published_at, :versioning => :paper_trail
You will also need to have already generated the versions table that paper_trail
expects. See the paper_trail README for more details.
To pass options to the versioning gem, replace the gem name with a hash, and include
the options as the value of the :options
key:
translates :title, :content, :published, :published_at, :versioning => { :gem => :paper_trail, :options => { :on => [ :update ] } }
To access versions of a translated model, use the format: post.translation.versions
.
Earlier versions of the globalize versioning support delegated version
and versions
to the model translation (so you could access them with just post.versions
), but
this causes problems if versioning is used on non-translated attributes, and has thus been removed.
Adding globalize versioning to previously versioned models
If you are adding globalize to any previously versioned models, please note
that you will need to add a new locale
column to your versioning table.
