Just skip the shorthand:
['Cooperation', 'Environmental Sustainability', 'Business Development',
'Transportation', 'Streetscape', 'Dense Mixed Use' ]
Even better might be a model to return the choices.
class Category
def self.choices_for_select
['Cooperation', 'Environmental Sustainability', 'Business
Development',
'Transportation', 'Streetscape', 'Dense Mixed Use' ]
end
end
<%= select 'article', 'category', Category.choices_for_select %>
