Make all models that are going to be used by that template respond to
the same message. If at your template, you're calling "item.title",
all models that are going to be used in there should have a "title"
method. In your case, you can just alias the "name" method to "title".
A better approach would be to implement the "to_s" method in your
active record models by returning these "name" properties.
If you have a user model, you could implement it's to_s like the following:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
def to_s
login
end
end
So you don't even care about what that model is, you just expect it's
to_s method to yield a correct "label".

You can just add another parameter at the render :partial call.
