NewbieQ concatenating name in options_from_collection_for_select
Hi,
A real dumb one :~/
How do you concatenate a first_name, last_name as the text method for
OFCFS? Damned if I can do it without error. Is it in the original select
for the collection?

select vs. select_tag
I have a "Users" object and
a "Timesheets" object. Each timesheet entry belongs to a User, which is
selected from a drop-down list. The timesheet has a user_id field. (The
user needs to have an option to select a different user due to the way
our system works.)
If i use the "select" object, which is bound to the Timesheet model,
using this code:

Adding to model (newbie)
Sorry if this is a really lame question, I''m sure it''s something fairly
obvious, but I just can''t see it at the moment...
I''m trying to add something simple to the model for a project
management/todo list/thing. The DB has ''first_name'' and ''last_name'',
and I''d like to have "full_name" available.

Select SUM(?) Query
When using PHP, I was able to
enter a query against my list of invoices such as :
Select SUM(amount) from invoices where project="123"
This would give me the total amount of all invoices for project 123.
In rails, how would I do this? I tried using "find_by_sql," but
couldn''t figure out how to extract the results out of this. Thanks!

options_from_collection_for_select - NIL Object
i am kind of desparated
i try with options_from_collection_for_select to get option values, but
it says
You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.inject
but @customers is not empty ->
def get_customer
@customers=Customer.find_all

options_from_collection_for_select
I have just started using RoR and am creating some select boxes on my form
with the following code:
<%= select_tag(options_from_collection_for_select(Owner.all, :id, :fname))
%>
My problem is that it does NOT return the first record from the table, but
just the second and succeeding records.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the first record included in
the select box?
Thanks.
