#to_s on models not working reliably

[nextekcarl]

I've updated to 1.2.0 and to_s doesn't seem to be reliably working to display titles/names for models:

There was talking about changing this in another issue, but I don't see anything saying the method changed, and I can't find anything documented anywhere, plus it is still working in at least one area shown.

@nextekcarl, we changed up the rendering behavior in #191 - that change went out in version 0.1.1.

You can fix the behavior by adding this to your ProductDashboard:

def display_resource(product)
  product.to_s
end

As for the "Show Shampoo" button that is using #to_s, that was an oversight that was fixed up in #243. If you update to version ~> 0.1.2, that fix should be in place.

If that solves your problem, feel free to close the issue. Cheers!

Thanks, though I'm already updated to 0.1.2 in that screenshot, so I think that button code must still be using the old code. I had just updated Administrate to 0.1.2 about 20 mins before posting that screenshot.

And just to verify that I tried to update the gem again (already updated) and then changed the new display_resource method to reverse the text as shown here:

The button must still be using the model's #to_s method.

Interesting. @nextekcarl, do you have app/views/admin/application/edit.html.erb or app/views/admin/products/edit.html.erb in your application?

D'Oh! That was it, thanks.
