Rails core - May 2009 - Support for multiparameter attribute assignment on virtual attribute writers

Hello,

I''ve worked on two projects now where I''ve had to
use multiparameter assignment on ''virtual'' attributes (i.e.,
non database
columns/aggregates). A little Googling led me to other people who have been
having the same issue:
http://groups.google.ca/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/59eddeee019a7820/5738b749c978bc40

From the Lighthouse ticket:
"Currently, using multiparameter assignment on a non-column or aggregation
throws an error. Since the existing implementation used the reflection to
determine whether to create a Date or Time instance to send to the writer,
and there''s no easy way to infer the desired datatype from the method
name
or arity, I figured that sending a Time instance for virtual attributes is
best in all cases (since a time inherently contains a date.)"

Ticket with patch:

Thanks,
Brennan
