强制插入纸迹

Question

Is it possible to force an insert in paper trail table 'versions' without making the insert in the real table. I need to store a 'create' insert in the paper trails table so I can get the object after a confirmation, and just then, make the real insert.

Thanks

PaperTrail::Versions are just ActiveRecord objects, so you can instantiate and save them just like any of your models:

version = PaperTrail::Version.new
version.item = my_item
version.object = my_item
version.event = :create
version.save!

PaperTrail cannot store unsaved objects in its object column, however - it gets saved as nil. This means that .object will be nil if you load this version record out of the DB.
