Merging users
Remember that I said that when you log in, your ghost user has to be merged with the real user? Well, this is the code for doing it:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
#...
def merge(user_id)
if user_id != nil
user = User.find(user_id)
user.weights.each do |weight|
weight.user = self
weight.save
end
user.destroy
end
end
end
The problem with this is that it’s very error prone. You have to make sure that every model that is related to the user model gets properly handled.
