Populate select with first_name & last_name

Ruby
1

Hey,

I want to populate a select drop down form helper with FIRST NAME + LAST
NAME.

However, these are both in separate columns in the DB - how can I join
them together?

I can manage to populate it with just the first names, like this…

===VIEW====

<%= select(:first_name, :id, @guests) %>

===CONTROLLER===

@guests = Guest.find(:all, :conditions => ["group_id = ? and

event_id = ?", params[:id], params[:event]]).map { |u| [u.first_name, u.id]}

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try asking this question on the Rails (web framework) group, not the
Ruby (general programming language that Rails happens to use) group.
