Rails/Ruby Radio Button Default Checked

Question

I have:

- [ 'here now', 'trip scheduled', 'planning a trip', 'already visited' ].each do |travel|
  %div.field.radio.small.snug.bind                  
    = f.radio_button :expected_travel, travel
    = label_tag "visitors_guide_request_expected_travel[#{travel}]", travel.titleize

I need to have the radio button generated for 'here now' to be checked by default. What's the simplest way to do this?

you can pass in the :checked option to your radio_button:

= f.radio_button :expected_travel, travel, :checked => travel == 'here now'

That will check the button whose value is here now

Rails is throwing a syntax error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '}'

I'm using ruby1.9+ hash syntax, maybe you're on an older ruby. Change the checked part to this: :checked => travel == 'here now'. I edited the answer with this.

That worked! This site is a mess. I took over for someone else and it has not been maintained well at all. Thanks!
