I've been trying to say this: I responded just a bit ago, but I don't see my response, so hopefully there won't be two responses...
Essentially, Drew, you can map the column to be something else when you call "humanize" on it. Try this:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
HUMANIZED_COLUMNS = {:msg => "Message"}
def self.human_attribute_name(attribute) HUMANIZED_COLUMNS[attribute.to_sym] || super end end
