I have simple problem with overriding attribute readers and seeing same
changes appear on simple_form. I have a model and it has some attributes
that I want to override with different readers. I did something like
following
class CustomerSupplierItem < ActiveRecord:Base
it has attribute called pack
def pack
“Some overridden value”
end
end
Now when I use the model in simple_form
<%= simple_form_for @customer_supplier_item do |f| %>
<%= f.input :pack %>
<% end %>
I do not get “Some overridden value” as value in pack input. I see
original
pack value without overridden attr_reader.
What is the way to override the attr_reader such that is affects
simple_form and similar form helpers?

Amit
it seens like it is a issue within the rails form helper itself
I’ve tried to do what you described and got the same problem, even by
using
only form_for @model
But you can always write the the value that you want with input_html
<%= f.input :name, :input_html => { :value => @model.name } %>
it works, but is not the better way, if I were you I would might
consider
using a class method that will be responsable to return the value you
wanted into the “get method”

"Some overridden value"
I do not get “Some overridden value” as value in pack input. I see
