A gem I am using inserts an after_save callback that I would like to remove. It seems to me it would be cleaner to delete a symbol from an array than to fix the problem with a monkeypatch. How can I access the array of callbacks?

A:
the after_save array is accessible via Model.after_save, it is an array of ActiveSupport::Callbacks::Callback objects. You could run this from within the model
self.after_save.delete_if{|callback| callback.method == :do_something_callback}

Looks good… but where/when would I do that? Within the class definition?

I would say so, right with your other callbacks. As long as it is loaded after your plugin then it should be good to go.

If you're interested, here's the solution I ended up with for my particular problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3162867/how-can-i-get-authlogic-to-use-the-rails-session-instead-of-its-own-cookie

A:
class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
# Don't use cookie AuthLogic behaviour
skip_callback :persist, :persist_by_cookie
skip_callback :after_save, :save_cookie
skip_callback :after_destroy, :destroy_cookie
end

thanks-- this looks much better than my solution :-) i'm on a rails 2 project for now though, upgrading to rails 3 soon, i'll try it then.
