 Assuming we have a Student model, the above code will add an after_save callback to the User model which will push changes to the forename value into the s_forename value of Student. The correct Student instance is found using the :relationship hash - student_id in User must equal s_stno in Student.
 
 Although the above example only pushes changes to forename, you can add more mappings to the :mappings hash to push over as many values as you like.
 
+When things are a bit more complicated than a simple like for like mapping you can use the :mapping_block option to pass a block which has access to the master and slave objects. Using these objects you can perform more complicated tasks than just making one value equal another.

 == Why use it?
 
 I developed this gem as part of a web front end which I'm building for an old legacy system. The legacy system is a student records system which holds students which are booked on courses. However I don't want to add users of the website into the system as students until they have actually booked a course. So there needs to be a certain amount of separation between the online element and the legacy system, mainly because I can't make changes to the database structure of the legacy system.
