I completely agree with you (after the nightmare code refactoring job after trying attr_protected). I’ll be looking at merb_param_protection … thanks for that, btw.

Well, it took a while, but this is now an official Merb plugin: merb_param_protection.

See http://merb.devjavu.com/ticket/303 … I’m adding this to Merb for 0.4.2. Excellent idea!

Hey. You are absolutely right! I’ve been thinking about this issue, but I didn’t thought about moving it to controller. Now I’m pretty sure, that is correct solution. I’ll try to write plugin for that.

Definitely ripe for a plugin, so we can see if it is a good replacement. I think… I may agree with you on here. This makes it easier to tweak attributes depending on user permissions, for example. For instance, use a different attributes before_filter for admins vs normal users…
