hmm. I think you can override the tag_list getter and setter methods so
that you can add tags like
microsoft - company, campus - location
here's a pseudo code for the setter and getter
def tag_list=(tag_names)
temp = []
tn = tag_names.split(',')
tn.each do |t|
main_tag = t.split(' - ').last
description_tag = (t.split(' - ') - [main_tag]).join
# collect all main_tag and write_attribute them to tag_list
end
end
def tag_list
#collect the tags and [main_tag, description_tag].join
end
hope this can help you in some way.
