Mongoid ODM doesn't properly output data types as form fields

[mrrooijen]

In Mongoid when you define for example something like this:

class User
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :firstname, :type => String
  field :lastname, :type => String
  field :admin, :type => Boolean
  field :birthdate, :type => Date
end

It just creates text_field's for all input types, rather than a date select or checkbox for boolean.
