Question

I have a model as follows:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :name, :email, :twitter, :dribbble, :forrst,
                  :github, :stackoverflow, :linkedin

  # validations, functions, etc.
end

In my view, I would like to iterate over the social accounts (twitter, dribbble, forrst, github, stackoverflow and linkedin) to create text fields for them as follows:

<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
  <% %w[twitter dribbble forrst github stackoverflow linkedin].each do |account| %>
    <%= account %> username: <%= f.text_field :account %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

How do I give the f.text_field the right :account?

Thank you

Try this:

<%= f.text_field account.to_sym %>
