Hi,
I’ve made a simple plugin for Rails 2.0 to generate options for
tag.
script/plugin install
http://janx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/acts_as_options
After installed, add the ‘acts_as_options’ line to your model:
class Brand
acts_as_options
end
By default ActsAsOptions suppose you have a ‘name’ column and a ‘id’
column in your table, you can change this of course(see below).
After the declaration whenever you need options for a select in form,
simply:
f.select :brands, Brand.find_as_options
or
select_tag :brands, Brand.find_as_options
you can specify the name and value column when declaration or find:
acts_as_options :stub, :id # will generate <%= brand.stub %>
or
Brand.find_as_options :stub, :id
Best
