after_create :create a new line in DB
- by Karl Entwistle
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue im having, basically id like to have Account.create after a PayPal notification is received, There is a simple cart model which corresponds to line_items within the cart so add_account_to_market would look like this in pseudo code
def add_account_to_market
if status == "Completed"
find the line items(via cart_id) that correspond to the cart.id that just been paid
create an account with user_id set to the current carts user id
end
end
Ive never tried to do something like this in Rails and its not working, Ive been pulling my hair out all night trying to fix this, hopefully someone can help or point me in the right direction. Thanks :)
class PaymentNotification < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :cart
serialize :params
after_create :mark_cart_as_purchased
after_create :add_account_to_market
private
def mark_cart_as_purchased
if status == "Completed"
cart.update_attribute(:purchased_at, Time.now)
cart.update_attribute(:paid, true)
end
end
def add_account_to_market
if status == "Completed"
l = LineItem.find(:all, :conditions => "cart_id = '#{cart.id}'")
for l.quantity
Account.new(:user_id => cart.user_id)
end
end
end
end
PS mark_cart_as_purchased method is working fine, its just the add_account_to_market im having issues with.
