Next issue, again I’m sure I just haven’t read the docs closely enough

I want to use a block with the association so I can print something a bit more sophisticated for each item. If I use a helper nothing shows up, even in a very simple case as below nothing shows up (< removed to hopefully print code properly).

% d.association :people, :label => ‘Staffers’, :label_tag => ‘h2′ do |person| %>
li> %= person.full_name %> /li>
% end %>

Thanks, the label option wasn’t clear to me.

Bill, I’m almost sure that you can given the :label option:

<%= d.association :people, :using => :full_name, :label => “OMG People” %>

Ugg, still no good. Here’s without the angle bracket:

Sorry, code block above didn’t come out correctly, should be:

% = d.association :people, :using => :full_name %

@josevalim I mean if I code, say, :full_name %> I get a paragraph above the list of people with the word People in bold. I would like a different text to appear in place of People.

Similarly, for specific fields I would like to use a label other than the human version of the field name.
