How do you fix? formtastic :label_method is no longer available

Question

Ok.. I'm new to ruby/rails. So to compensate for my weakness, my company had a guy come in to help me create the bones of our website. He put in formtastic :label_method, so we could change what fields are displayed in the DDLB. When I moved my project to a new box, I got this error.

:label_method is no longer available

What I'm wondering is.. what do I use in it's place?

Answer 1

I think it might be:

:member_label

According to http://rubydoc.info/gems/formtastic/2.0.0/Formtastic/Helpers/InputHelper

"(Symbol, Proc, Method) — Deprecated, renamed to :member_label"

If that doesn't work could you post your _form for us to see?

Answer 2

:member_label is the thing to use!

EDIT: More recently, I could not get both of these (including :label_method) to work. The way I used was to define a to_label method on the model.
