Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

I have AMOUNT field that ActiveRecord maps to Float. Then I use text_field helper to generate text inputs on forms. Helper takes model object and attribute name and does not provide any formatting abilities, thus 2.40 is shown as 2.4 which is fine with floats but does not look good with currency. I have worked around this issue by adding amount_f attribute to the model that returns formatted

Hello! I''ve modified ActiveRecord a bit to support enum columns. This is tested only with MySQL, and maybe needs some changes for other adapters (if they use another syntax or quoting style). I believe this patch should be tested well, so I haven''t (yet) tried to post it to the official Trac. It is also not solid-as-a-rock when it comes to quoting ENUM values. After

I want to build an application that lets me (the end user accessing a web page) design a simple list with columns and add records. E.g., if the end user says I want a table that has a list of songs, he can create a list (title, date, artist, label) and then make another list of, e.g., books on his bookshelf with the necessary columns (title, author, pub_date, shelf). The end user

The TIMSS2007 database http://timss.bc.edu/TIMSS2007/idb_ug.html seems to provide "both kinds" of universal data formats - either SPSS saved data sets or SAS saved data sets. (Yes, I am being sarcastic.) These, of course, are accompanied by massive codebooks explaining the nature of each of the fields in the data sets. The T07_Codebooks.zip file available at that site contains .pdf
