Select menu not using model ids as values

[tonym]

Hi All,

Been scratching my head over this one for a while.

I'm using a select menu as a set of filters.  nothing special, just passing them as params...

<def tag="searchform">
  <form class="filter-menu searchform" action="/categories/" method="GET" >
    <select-menu name="category" selected='&selected' first-option="All Categories" options="&Category.all" />
    <select-menu name="area" selected='&selected' first-option="Anywhere In Sheffield" options="&LocalArea.all" />
    <select-menu name="day" selected='&selected' options="&day_filter_options" />
    <button type="submit" id="main_srch" class="btn">Search</button>
  </form>
</def>

Problem is, the select menu values are being populated with the name string, not the model's id.
Works perfectly for the hash pairs I've built for the day_filter_options, but not for the models.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Anthony.

Hi,

When passing custom options to select_menu I usually use "map". Try this
and see if it works:

<select-menu name="category" selected='&selected' first-option="All

Categories" options="&Category.all.map{|category|
[category.name, category.id]}"" />

There's also an old post discussing something similar:
