Question

I have a code table called priorities. The table has a boolean called archive. I have a request table and it’s form contains a pick list of priorities. I’m using scope statements to tell if a priority is archived or not. This is the code in the model:

scope :archived, where(:archive => true)
scope :active, where(:archive => false)

I’m trying to use the scope in the request form like this:

        <%= f.association :priority, :label_method => :prioritycode.active, :label => 'Priority' %>

But, that doesn’t work.

What should I be using in the form?

Thanks!

I may be missing something — not familiar with the association helper you’re using.

If you want a drop-down select list, I would do something like

<%= f.collection_select :priority, Priority.active, :id, :name %>

(Assumes you have a model Priority in which the scope :active is defined, and that a priority has a name. Your mileage may vary.)
