Hi, I''m new here and started working with rails only a month ago.
I''m trying to develop a VideoGame Database that is supposed to contain
many many entries.
Here''s my problem. Currently any new gameentry is listed in my
index-page like this
[code]
<% @games.each do |game| %>
<tr>
<td><%= game.title_german %></td>
<td><%= game.title_original %></td>
<td><%= game.release %></td>
<td><%= game.dlc %></td>
<td><%= link_to ''Show'', game %></td>
<!-- <td><%= link_to ''Edit'',
edit_game_path(game) %></td> -->
<td><%= link_to ''Destroy'', game, confirm:
''Are you sure?'', method:
:delete %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
[/code]
of course that doesn''t make a lot of sense. No Shop or library (like
imdb) would have an accessible page listing the intire datatable. So I
want the index page only to display those games that were filtered by
the searchfield, which looks like this.
[code]
<%= form_tag games_path, :method => ''get'' do %>
<p>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :title_german => nil %>
</p>
<% end %>
[/code]
My Model and my controller are defined as follows:
[code]
class Game < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.search(search)
if search
find(:all, :conditions => [''title_german LIKE ?'',
"%#{search}%"])
else
find(:all)
end
end
end
class GamesController < ApplicationController
def index
@games = Game.search(params[:search])
end
end
[/code]
I was thinking about defining a helper method called "used_search?" in
the application_controller to used this method in an if-statement which
determines wether to display the index.html.erb or not...would that be
the usual way to solve this problem or what do experienced developers
do? I have no clue!
I would appreciate any kind of help! thanks

Show the first 25 if no search is given (plus navigation to page through 25 more at a time). That''s as easy as chaining one more modifier in your controller: ...your_selector.page(params[:page]) You can choose to page your search results along with your regular results -- that''s another implementation detail you can use or not. Depends on how focused the results are, if they give you back hundreds of results, you might want to page them as well. Just be sure to use GET for your search form, and Kaminari will interweave the search querystring and the page querystring without any extra effort on your part.

Thanks for responding? I watched a Kaminari Tutorial video on railscast and like what it does, I sure will use it too when I want my search results to be displayed in small pieces, but it is actually not what I was looking for. I''m not trying to have my results seperated in pages, but I want the entire "product"-list NOT to be displayed at all. The Index page should ONLY display filtered titles, but so far as default (when opening the index page) EVERY product is listed. I don''t see Amazon oder IMDB having a page where every single product or Movie is listed... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Okay, then you should set that up in your index method. Decide what you do want
to show (maybe a partial with "How to Search" instructions) and show
that instead of ModelName.all.
def index
if(params[:q])
#do your search thing
else
render :partial => ''search/instructions''
end
end

I tried Walters suggestion and put my display-table in a partial; this
is what the method looked like
def index
if(params[:q])
@games = Game.search(params[:search])
else
render :partial => ''search_results''
end
end
But it would cause me a NoMethod Error... it says that the "each"
function was not defined, but why?
Rolando Garros suggestion is simply not changing anything, maybe I''m
not
implementing it correctly...

If there''s no query, there''s nothing to put in the partial, but the partial is needed in the case that you DO have a search query. Make a second partial that only has "No search yet" in it. Put that in the else side. In the if side, put this: render :partial => ''search_results'', :locals => @games Inside your partial, change any instance of @games to games (remove the @). There''s an even easier way to do this, and that''s by making a single row of your table as a partial, and saving it with the name _game.html.erb. Then in your index page, add this: <table> <%= render @games %> </table> If you haven''t done so yet, I really recommend a thorough read of the Rails Guide on Views and Rendering. http://guides.rubyonrails.org Walter> > Rolando Garros suggestion is simply not changing anything, maybe I''m not > implementing it correctly... > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rubyonrails-talk+unsubscribe-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

So this is what the method in the controller looks now
def index
if(params[:q])
render :partial => ''search_results'', :locals =>
@games
else
render :partial => ''no_search_yet''
end
end
and I removed the one "@" in the index view, but it only results in,
whenever I use the search, the "_no_search_yet" partial is being
displayed. So the index page always displays this partial, no matter I
use the search button or not.
I think the problem is, the default link "http://localhost:3000/games"
always leads to my index.view (altough not defined in the routes.rb).
Having used the search function end in another Url, but the default
always keeps the full list :/

Did you name your search field q? params[:q] won''t be filled unless that''s the case. I can''t recall whether you did or not.

This is really weird. Having used ":q" as a name actually opens the "no search yet" partial, wether I used the search function or not. but using ":search" in my if clause I get a "NameError" in my index file. undefined local variable or method `games'' for #<#<Class:0x674f2c8>:0x3f8e698> Extracted source (around line #3): 1: <table> 2: 3: <% games.each do |game| %> 4: <tr> 5: <td><%= link_to game.title_german, game %></td> 6: <td><%= game.title_original %></td> returning the "@" to "games" would cause a nomethod error for "each"... Sorry to be bothering with this, but I''m really confused... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

First, thank you for helping me out with this problem for this long. The Partial I''m using is "_search_results" not "_games", so I corrected this in my statement. The if statement works indeed. Now the index page always shows my desired template, when the search function was NOT used. But if it''s used there is still an error. using "games" as a partial of course throws me a "missing template" message, but actually using the partial I need still throws me: NoMethodError in Games#index Showing .../app/views/games/_games.html.erb where line #3 raised: undefined method `each'' for nil:NilClass wether I use the "@" symbol or not in the search-field... I feel bad not getting this straight. Even if I had come up with this solution by myself I couldn''t handle this issue. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Another suggestion - work right through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org which will give you a good introduction to the basics of Rails. Then you should understand better what is going on.

All right I fixed it now!!
Appearently all I had to put in the if statement, was the same code-line
I originally used for simply displaying the list:
def index
@games = Game.search(params[:search])
end
I don''t even have to do an if-statement in the controller at all. That
goes to the html.erb, where either partial has to be displayed.
<% if(params[:search]) %>
<%= render ''search_results'' %>
<% else %>
<%= render ''no_search_yet'' %>
<% end %>
Otherwise, my "no_search_yet" partial would be displayed without
inhertiting any css...
Thanks anyway for your help guys, you were great!!
A far more greater issue would be the rating system I''m trying to
develop, but noone has replied in this thread so far :)
