I''m using link_to_remote to show details for an item that''s clicked. I''d like to hide the div with the next click, or alternatively have a "Hide" link within my div. What is the best way to accomplish this? Here''s my existing code: <% for task in @mytasks %> <div class="rowFormat"> <%= link_to_remote(

I have a series of checkboxes in a form generated as follows: <% for user in @active_users %> <p><%= user.firstname + " " + user.surname%> <%= check_box ''assigned_tasks'', ''user_id'', {:index => user.id}, user.id, nil %></p> <% end %> I''d like to have one of them selected when user.id is equal to the

So I finally got everything up and running, and I''ve seen some "magical" stuff in tutorials bragging how easy and wonderful Rails is (and I believe it, for the most part). What I need now is a reference, a site or a book, that respects that I know a thing or two about app development and programming, but not necessarily anything about models, classes and controllers. I

Can''t seem to find an example of this anywhere - how do I populate a select list in a form from a database? I have a form to create a new task. The task is for a client, so there should be a select list populated from my clients table. I thought this would work: <%= select ''task'', ''client_id'', Client.find_all, "id", "name"

Just finished our first proper rails app and I''m trying to add some AJAX effects for the first time. I''ve got Rails Recipes and the Rails Cookbook, none of their examples seem to be a good fit with what I''m trying to achieve. Which is... I have 2 lists of users. One for assigned users, one for unassigned users. I want to be able to drag users between the lists to

Have things running great on my local webrick. Decided to set things up on the local server and I get this error: Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SHOW FIELDS FROM users RAILS_ROOT: script/../config/.. So I thought it might be struggling to connect to mysql, so I tried with sockets instead of port 3306. No difference unfortunately. I can connect successfully to

I''m retrieving a list of tasks to display in a page using @delegatedtask_pages, @delegatedtasks = paginate :tasks, :conditions => "user_id = " + session[:user_id].to_s + " percent_complete <> 100", :order_by => ''due_on asc'' I''d like to only list the tasks which have been assigned to other people. I have a table called

I have a log table which has a column recording the number of hours worked on a task. So there''ll be multiple lines for a particular task. I want to retrieve the total number of hours worked on a task, so that I can include the information when one views the task details. I can write a sql query to do this easily enough, like "SELECT SUM(hours) AS total FROM tasklog WHERE

So I''ve worked through Agile Web Development with Rails and I''m now trying my first little app to get into the swing of things. Its a task tracking app where people can create tasks and assign them to others, and also log time against the tasks. I''m having trouble working out the model relationships. This is what I''ve got so far, but its not right as

Finally found a nice date chooser script (http://projects.exactlyoneturtle.com/date_picker), but am a little confused how to implement it. So I put this where I need the date picker: <a id="_name_link" href="#" onclick="DatePicker.toggleDatePicker(''name'')" class="demo_link">[ choose date ]</a> <div

So I have a select list with a list of items. When a user selects an item, another select list should have its default selected item set to a specific item (the default associated with the first select list). This is in a form to create a new task. The first select list is a list of parent tasks. When one selects the parent task, the clients select list must default to the same client as its
