I'd like to override the setter for an association, but
write_attribute() isn't working - probably because that method only
works for database columns.
I have tried super(), but that doesn't work either (didn't think it
would... but it was worth a guess).
How do I override the setter? Here is what I am trying to do:
def parent=(value)
# this line needs to be changed
write_attribute(:parent, value)
if value.subject.start_with?('Re:')
self.subject = "#{value.subject}"
else
self.subject = "Re: #{value.subject}"
end
self.receivers << value.sender
end
