Radio Button Persist

Rails
1

Does anyone know how to persist the value of a radio button based on a
true/false column in the db.

In other words, I have a model with a field called mine (tinyint). My
radio button s are as follows:

<%= f.radio_button :mine, “1”%> Mine
<%= f.radio_button :mine, “0”, :checked => ‘checked’ %> Friend’s

If there’s an error with the form, the checked attribute takes over, and
the Mine radio button isn’t checked.

Thanks in advance.

A MySQL column must be tinyint(1) for Rails to treat it as a Ruby
boolean.
So you want:

DATABASE:
mine tinyint(1) not null default 0,

CONTROLLER:
@model = Model.new(params[:model])

VIEW:
<%= f.radio_button :mine, true %> Mine
<%= f.radio_button :mine, false %> Friend’s
