Ruby/RoR: calling original method via super()?

Question

In a RoR app, I want to specialize ActiveRecord\'s update_attributes() method in one of my models, extracting some of the attributes for special handling and passing the res

Answer 1

You want:

super(attrs)

That will call the original method, passing attrs as an argument to it.

As it is now, you're trying to call update_attributes on the "true" value returned by the original update_attributes.
