Administrate: Customize association name

[romanoff]

Is there a way to customize association name that is displayed on dashboard? Currently I see #. Can I somehow speficy that name field has to be used instead?

All of your dashboards inherit from Administrate::BaseDashboard, which uses the following method to display resources:

def display_resource(resource)
  "#{resource.class} ##{resource.id}"
end

Assuming you have an Author model with name attribute, you could add this to the AuthorDashboard to overwrite the default:

def display_resource(author)
  author.name
end

That works. Thanks a lot. Found it commented out in dashboards code
