def simple_title
  @simple_title ||= begin
    if self.new_record?
      "New #{self.class.to_title}"

      "#{self.class.to_title} ##{self.id}"

#title_method ⇒ Object

Convert any AR object into a human-readable title Tries the attributes in config.title_attributes And falls back to “BlogEntry #99”

This allows us to get a human-readable title regardless of what an object’s “title” attribute happens to be.

To define your own set of attributes, do so with the config

Outpost.config.title_attributes = [:title, :full_name]

The :simple_title method will automatically be added to the array and acts as the fallback.

Usage:

story = NewsStory.last
  #=> NewsStory(id: 900, title: "Cool Story, Bro")
blog  = Blog.last
  #=> Blog(id: 5, name: "Some Blog")
photo = Photo.last
  #=> Photo(id: 10, url: "http://photos.com/kitty")

story.to_title  #=> "Cool Story, Bro"
blog.to_title   #=> "Some Blog"
photo.to_title  #=> "Photo #10"
