I'm trying to understand why this is producing true or false.

Relevant code:

 <div class="form-group">
 <%= label(:store_item, :can_be_shipped, 'Can be Shipped?')%>
 <div class="form-inline">
 <div class="radio inline">
 <%= radio_button(:store_item, :can_be_shipped, true, :checked => true)%>
 <%= label(:store_item, :can_be_shipped, 'Yes', :value => true)%>
 </div>
 <div class="radio inline">
 <%= radio_button(:store_item, :can_be_shipped, false)%>
 <%= label(:store_item, :can_be_shipped, 'No', :value => false)%>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div

So, when I load up my form, and choose the option of Yes, to say the item can be shipped overseas, when I click the item itself on the store page, it has Shipped? as true. I know how to change it so when I choose Yes, when viewing the item it will appear as "Yes", using an if else statement on the home.html page.

I'm wondering why, when I change the :value in label to Yes, or No, it doesn't actually change from true to Yes. Can someone explain why this occurs?

Label is just for viewing purposes and for marking the error messages when a validation pertaining to the field it is associated with fails. If you need to change the can_be_shipped to come as 'Yes' or 'No', you will have to change the radio buttons as well.

<div class="form-group">
 <%= label(:store_item, :can_be_shipped, 'Can be Shipped?')%>
 <div class="form-inline">
 <div class="radio inline">
 <%= radio_button(:store_item, :can_be_shipped,'Yes', :checked => true)%>
 <%= label(:store_item, :can_be_shipped, 'Yes', :value => 'Yes')%>
 </div>
 <div class="radio inline">
 <%= radio_button(:store_item, :can_be_shipped, 'No')%>
 <%= label(:store_item, :can_be_shipped, 'No', :value => 'No')%>
 </div>
 </div>
</div>
