Instead of

my_object.send(attr_name) = "dark" # syntax error

use this:

my_object.send("#{attr_name}=", "dark")

hey @ledermann thx for the super fast response..

interesting concept but unfortunately this does not store any value.. it doesnt thrown an error but it just doesnt update the value

[andreas-it-dev]

strike that, all good.. if i dont save the @user instance, it certainly wont update the db..

excellent, works like a charme, thanks again!
