similar to: Formatting in form helpers

Hello all, I''ve been trying to use a facade column but I notice that the form helpers don''t seem to respect the facade. In the following example I''m trying to story the prices as Integer values but present them to the user as decimals. class Product < ActiveRecord::Base def price=(new_price) write_attribute(:price, Float(new_price)*100) end def price

Hi there, I''ve been trying to override the text_field helper with a version in my application helper. Whenever I try and call it from a partial I get the error: "uninitialized constant InstanceTag" I can override the text_field_tag no problem. But there''s lots of stuff I don''t understand in text_field. All I really want to do is set some common options for

The new router in Rails 3 is clean and concise and marks the acceptance of instance_exec as a method for writing a gorgeous DSL. I''m wondering should something similar be applied to the default form helpers? Moving from this: <%= form_for(@post) do |f| %> <%= f.text_field :title %> <% end %> to this: <%= form_for(@post) do %> <%= text_field :title %>

Hello all, Long time reader, first time poster! I am a relative newcomer (no idea what on earth I am doing) to Ruby, Rails and Rspec and have a feeling I am probably trying to run before I know how to walk. I had imagined a cool way of outputting a div around some form stuff which would have a class on it if the related field had errors, something a bit like: <%

Here''s a very simple tutorial that I wrote for using form helpers like text_field or text_field_with_auto_complete for creating non model attribute fields. http://eugene.eggkeg.com/?p=8 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Thanks for the input Blair Zajac and Chris (Nolan and Hall), and for others.

Hi there. In the process of learning Rails I''m displaying data from my model in an HTML table. The view template got really messy so I decided to build a class to tidy things up and help me with the table generation. I started out putting it in the controller. But then I thought that the right place for it (following the MVC pattern and Rails orthodoxy) would be in a view helper. But

Hi all, I''m fairly new to rails and thus might be missing something here, but I think I have found a but in ActionPack. If this is not the right place to post this, please let me know where. I discovered this issue while attempting to use the lastest edge version of ajax_scaffold (mooey, MUI, whatever it''s going to be called). I kept getting the error: private method

Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

I''m using wx_sugar 0.1.2 with wxruby2-preview 0.0.37 on OSX and am coming up with an error when trying to create a SpinCtrl (and quite a few others have exactly the same prob.): #file date_picker.rb class DatePicker < Wx::Dialog def initialize super(nil, :title => "Pick a date...") @cal = Wx::CalendarCtrl.new(self) add(@cal) #works fine up to

Wx::ListCtrl#set_item_count appears to be broken. If I pass it anything but a Fixnum (is_a Integer), it crashes and says it needs a "long" (which Fixnum should appease), but if I pass it a Fixnum it crashes with "cannot convert nil into String."

Hi all All my forms should look the same, so I think always putting the right div etc. tags around them is a violation of the DRY principle. Until now my forms look like that: <div class="text_field"> <label for="news_item_subject">Subject:</label> <%= text_field "news_item", "subject" %> </div> Now I want the default

Hi all, Although I''m experienced with programming I''m a beginner with ruby, RoR and MVC So I follow examples from books and so on and all is ok. I can make a model who is a class and who match to a table in my database and then I generate pretty forms on a webpage.

Hi- I have a BigInt (MySql) column type - RAILS treats it as FixNum, which causes big problem for us since we need to store a 12+ number of digits. How can I tell Rails to treat is as BigNum instead of FixNum? thanks thila -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
