# Class methods shared by all models
#
# Many class methods can be overridden for particular use cases by setting other methods
# or instance variables.  For example, scaffold_fields is a method that takes an action,
# such as :new.  scaffold_fields(:new) will first check if scaffold_new_fields is a method, and
# will call it if so.  If not, it will check if @scaffold_new_fields is defined, and use it if
# so.  If not, will take the default course of action.
# 
# The first argument to the overridable method is used to search for the override method
# or instance variable.  If a override method is used, the remaining
# arguments to the overridable method will be passed to it.  Otherwise, the default method will
# be used.
#
# For example, scaffold_find_object(action, id, options) is an overridable method.
# That means if :delete is the action, it will first look for scaffold_delete_find_object, and if it
# exists it will call scaffold_delete_find_object(id, options).
#
# If a method can be overridden by an instance variable, it should have only one argument.
#
# The methods that are overridable by other methods are (without the "scaffold_" prefix): 
# add_associated_objects, associated_objects, association_find_object, association_find_objects,
# find_object, find_objects, new_associated_object_values, remove_associated_objects, save,
# unassociated_objects, and filter_attributes.
#
# The methods that are overridable by other methods or instance variables are (again, without the
# "scaffold_" prefix): associated_human_name, association_use_auto_complete, fields, include,
# select_order, attributes, include_association, and select_order_association.
#
# Most methods that find objects check options[:session][scaffold_session_value] as a
# security check if scaffold_session_value is set.
#
# There are some methods that are so similar that they are dynamically defined using
# define_method.  They are:
#
# - scaffold_association_list_class: The html class attribute of the association list
# - scaffold_habtm_with_ajax: Whether to use Ajax when scaffolding habtm associations for this model
# - scaffold_load_associations_with_ajax: Whether to use Ajax when loading associations on the edit page
# - scaffold_browse_records_per_page: The number of records to show on each page when using the browse scaffold
# - scaffold_convert_text_to_string: Whether to use input of type text instead of a text area for columns of type :text
# - scaffold_search_results_limit: The maximum number of results to show on the scaffolded search results page
#
# Each of these methods can be set with an instance variable.  If the instance variable is
# not set, it will use the default value from SCAFFOLD_OPTIONS.
module ScaffoldingExtensions::MetaModel
  # Sets the default options for all models, which can be overriden by class instance
  # variables (iv):

  #   the search results will be displayed on one page instead of being paginated

  #   modifying habtm associations (iv: @scaffold_habtm_with_ajax)
