I think the only thing I would change from the code is to place
Project.find(:all).collect {|p| [p.name, p.id]}) in Project model
def self.to_options
find(:all).map { |p| [p.name, r.id] }.unshift(['Choose a
project:', ''])
end
So then I'll just use it like this
<%= select("note", "project_id", Project.to_options) %>
So you don't have meaningless helper, it still DRY and still follows
MVC
Cheers!
