collection_select problem

Hi,

I have the following code:      <% @users.each do |u| -%>      <tr class="<%= cycle("odd", "even") %>">        <td><%= u.name %>,<%= u.member_status_id %></td>        <td><%= collection_select( u, :member_status_id, @member_statuses, :id, :name , { :class => "select"}, { :name => "member_status_id" } ) %> </td>      </tr>      <% end %>

The select is generating fine, apart from the fact that appropriate options are not selected.

<%= u.member_status_id %> is returning correct values for the records (1,2,3,4) MemberStatus.all.inspect returns:

[#<MemberStatus id: 1, name_pl: "Obserwator", name_en: "Observer", created_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", updated_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", created_by: nil, updated_by: nil>, #<MemberStatus id: 2, name_pl: "Baby", name_en: "Baby Member", created_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", updated_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", created_by: nil, updated_by: nil>, #<MemberStatus id: 3, name_pl: "Pełne", name_en: "Full Member", created_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", updated_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", created_by: nil, updated_by: nil>, #<MemberStatus id: 4, name_pl: "Alumn", name_en: "Alumni", created_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", updated_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", created_by: nil, updated_by: nil>, #<MemberStatus id: 5, name_pl: "Zrezygnowa\305\202", name_en: "Resigned", created_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", updated_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", created_by: nil, updated_by: nil>, #<MemberStatus id: 6, name_pl: "Inactive", name_en: "Inactive", created_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", updated_at: "2011-01-10 15:02:58", created_by: nil, updated_by: nil>]

But still, the helper is not putting the "selected" where it should. Any advice?

<%= u.collection_select( :member_status_id, @member_statuses, :id, :name , { }, { :class => "select", :name => "member_status_id" })%>

I would try this. the first hash set is for options, the second is for HTML options. It looks like your passing args in the wrong place

Please, please, please get that collection_select data access out of the view.

If you have 100 users, how many times will you exec that code?

Retrieve your @member_statuses in the controller, once, and use that var in the view.
