<%= select_tag "profile", options_from_collection_for_select(@profile, "profile/publications",'profile_blip'),:onchange => "window.location.replace('/'+this.value);" %>

Answer 1

options_from_collection_for_select create a erb code like this:

<option value="#{profile.id}">#{profile.profile_blip}</option>

Write a method in the model class "Profile" which returns what you want. Then change the select_tag to this:

<%= select_tag "profile", options_from_collection_for_select(@profile, "new_method_name",'profile_blip'),:onchange => "window.location.replace('/'+this.value);" %>
