Column Labels for Actions

[devel]

I need to change the label of a column but only for a single action.
For all other actions, I'm fine with the "default". So, for example,
if I have:

config.columns[:col1].label = "My Column"

I'd like to be able to do something like:

config.list.columns[:col1].label = "A Very Special Column"

However, this doesn't seem to work. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

Does the "settings pre request" docs give you a workaround?

Thanks for the info. I didn't read about that. It sounds like it may
help. However, I can't figure out how to insert the filter only for
the list action.

I tried a before_filter and after_filer each containing a condition on
action_name being equal (or not) to :list. However, looking at the
logs, at that moment, the action_name is simply 'index'. If I go into
edit record, the action_name is 'row'. I guess because of all the AJAX
stuff.

Any suggestion on how to intercept the action for list to change the
label and then change it back to the normal label after list renders?

Thanks again

So what's wrong with the method you gave above? IF on the action_name?

You need to run the filter without a condition though - if the condition
DOESN'T match you need to change the label back again

I added a before_filter with an IF condition and then an after filter
with an UNLESS condition and what renders is the label I set on the
before_filter. Is after_filter executed after rendering?

Thanks
