Question

Is it possible to overrule simpleform’s naming of textfields within a form?

This:

= f.input_field :age_from,

Outputs in:

<input type="text" size="50" name="/people/search[query]" id="_people_search_query">

Should be

<input type="text" size="50" name="/people/search[query]" id="query">

I tried
* :name => “query”
* :id => “query”

to no avail

Answer 1

Like your other question html options should be passed in input_html hash in simple_form:

<%= f.input :age_from, ..., :input_html => { :id => 'my_id' } %> should work.
