I have a "New Photo" view where I'd like to provide a select dropdown of the user's favorite locations. Getting the data for a user's favorites is no problem, but I'm not sure how to put the location name into the select form.
def new @photo = Photo.new @favorites = current_user.favorites.find(:all, :include => :location) end
<%= f.collection_select :location_id, @favorites, :location_id, :location_id, { :include_blank => true }, {} %>
(the 4th parameter in the f.collection_select above is my problem)
On a related note, is there a more efficient way to query for the locations' id & name w/o returning all fields? Or is it not really that much of a performance issue?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
