shorthand names/labels for associated models

[drewda]

Hi all,

I've been enjoying rails_admin; one fewer reason I miss Django...
Anyways, I have a number of model associations that are currently
listed in the table view as (for example): "User #1" and "User #3".
I'd like to change the name so that instead of the automatic
"ModelName #ID", it's instead printing out "Model.FirstName
Model.LastName" or another custom combination. Can someone offer
guidance?

Thank you,
Drew

It looks like it tries to use "name" and then "title" for the model
first before it uses "classname #". You could add a method like:

def title
FirstName + " " + LastName
end

Works well. Thanks, Scott!

I'm late with response, but in case someone else stumbles upon this:
Take a look at object_label method in RailsAdmin documentation if you
don't want to modify your ActiveRecord objects.

Thanks, Petteri! I actually just finally noticed that in the docs
myself.
