How to create a form for the rails-settings plugin

Question

I have a Rails 3 App that has needs some user defined settings. I would like to use this https://github.com/ledermann/rails-settings plugin. I have it working in the rails

Answer 1

What I did is add dynamic setters/getters to my User class as such

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_settings

  def self.settings_attr_accessor(*args)
    args.each do |method_name|
      eval "
        def #{method_name}
          self.settings.send(:#{method_name})
        end
        def #{method_name}=(value)
          self.settings.send(:#{method_name}=, value)
        end
      "
    end
  end

  settings_attr_accessor :color, :currency, :time_zone

end

With that, you can use "color" just like any other attribute of your User model. Also it's very simple to add more settings, just add them to the list
