Hi Mike,
I picked up this code again after it sat unattended for a while.
I found that using the :display_text option solved the problem of
showing an intelligent value in the selection list while retaining the
ability to record the more efficient numerical representation to the
database.
Here's how it looks now:
in_place_select :contestSeries, :status,
:choices => {"Disabled" => "0", "Active => "1"}.collect {|k,v| [k,v]},
:display_text =>
convert_contest_series_status_codes(@contestSeries.status)
"convert_contest_series_status_codes" is a helper method used in a
variety of locations to convert "0" to "Disabled" and "1" to "Active".
Basically having something get the display string and pass it to
:display_text shows the correct value in the selection list.
Unfortunately, the display_text does not update after the value is
changed. One has to refresh the page after updating the value, so there
is still some more work to do.
