Access a view helper for a model in rails

Question

I have an Adult model with a name attribute.

If the user is logged in, I want the Adult.name to only return the first name.

Is there a way to have helpers ti

Answer 1

in your Adult model you can add

def name
  self.first_name
end

so when you find an Adult, like

a = Adult.last
puts a.name #will print a.first_name

Well, for a better explanation.. paste some code!
