I''m trying to incorporate Rico''s LiveGrid functionality into a
Rails
page.
So far I''ve been able to download rico.js into my public/javascripts
folder and load it into the <head> section of my application.rhtml using
javascript_include_tag. Following Rico''s tutorial at
http://openrico.org/docs/RicoLiveGrid.pdf, I added the option
onload="javascript:bodyOnLoad()" to my <body> in
application.rhtml.
Moving to the next step in the tutorial, I gave my existing Borrowers
table an id="data_grid_content" and created a header row table with
id="data_grid_header".
Now to the problem step, the JavaScript function to actually create the
grid. The tutorial uses JSP to load its table, and I want to use Rails -
the instance variable @borrowers holds the proper page of data in the
pre-Rico pagination setup. The code in the tutorial is:
<script>
var opts = { prefetchBuffer: true, onscroll: updateHeader }
new Rico.LiveGrid (''data_grid_content'', 4, 1000,
''getMovieTableContent.do'', opts);
</script>
I tried substituting @borrowers for getMovieTableContent.do (both with
and without the single quote marks). The result in either case is no
response - the existing page (with the added header row) shows up as
before. No grid appears. There is no error or flash message.
Can anyone help with this? I know it''s just a matter of what/how to
substitute and maybe also some layout issue with needing extra <div> or
<table> sections. Since prototype.js is already part of Rails and
rico.js uses Prototype, I thought it should be easy to incorporate Rico
widgets into a Rails app. But I haven''t found any Rails LiveGrid
examples out there.

Just a stab here (I''m not positive), but it would seem to me that you would need to supply a Rails action name in place of ''getMovieTableContent.do'' that would output some sort of data structure. I don''t know what that would be, but I''m sure the tutorial/javascript file can tell you. --Jeremy On 12/18/06, Shauna <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I''m trying to incorporate Rico''s LiveGrid functionality into a Rails > page. > > So far I''ve been able to download rico.js into my public/javascripts > folder and load it into the <head> section of my application.rhtml using > javascript_include_tag.

Sorry for not catching the PDF link before; it looks like you need to create a Rails action that outputs an HTML table. Rico then appears to take the HTML table and turn it into the grid. The tutorial shows how you need to format the output if you''re using AJAX. --Jeremy On 12/18/06, Shauna <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I''m trying to incorporate Rico''s LiveGrid functionality into a Rails > page. > > So far I''ve been able to download rico.js into my public/javascripts > folder and load it into the <head> section of my application.rhtml using > javascript_include_tag.

Thanks for responding, Jeremy.
Yes, I have an existing borrowers/list.rhtml page that displays a page
of Borrowers data, which I previously created based on the depot app in
AWDwR. To generate that page, the borrowers_controller.rb has a method
def list
@borrower_pages, @borrowers = paginate :borrowers, :per_page => 8,
:order_by => ''LastName, FirstName''
end
This appears to collect a page of data into the @borrowers variable. So
do I need to refactor or rename this def somehow? How would I refer to a
controller method in the example instead of in-line js code?

If I''m reading it correctly, getMovieTableContent.do is merely pointing to a URL for a JSP. So, in theory you should be able to put ''list'' (or something like that) and get your desired output. Of course, this is all in theory. I''m not sure if they have some special wiring with JSPs or not. I would suggest creating a plain-jane HTML file and plugging in a simple table in there to test that theory (i.e., create ''table.html'' and replace getMovieTableContent.do with ''table.html''). I''m downloading Rico right now...if that doesn''t solve it I''ll play around with it and see if I can give you a solution. :) --Jeremy On 12/18/06, Shauna <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Thanks for responding, Jeremy. > > Yes, I have an existing borrowers/list.rhtml page that displays a page > of Borrowers data, which I previously created based on the depot app in > AWDwR.

I tried replacing ''getMovieTableContent.do'' with ''table.html'' and replacing my Rails table-generating code with the expanded table that it turns into in the View / Page Source. It didn''t make any difference. I still get the normal rendering of the table. (I put this in a borrowers/listRico.rhtml template file and pointed the list action there. I know it got there because I changed the header row only in that template and that part rendered properly, just no liveGrid showed up.) Now I suspect I might have to do something in the .css file, or maybe I left out some other crucial piece. The sample site has more and different code than the tutorial, but the sample site includes other widgets on the same page as well. Thanks for checking out Rico! I came across a couple of other attempts to do this in the forum but no one actually said they got it. --Shauna -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hey, Jeremy - I found an example of incorporating Rico LiveGrid into a rails app. Well, it''s not exactly _incorporating_ it; it''s a standalone example, so I have to figure out how to divide up the js parts to be more generic. That is, I don''t want to reference "Borrowers" in my application.rb, which is where the <body onload= ... element is. Anyway, here''s the reference if you or anyone else want to play with it: http://richardcowin.typepad.com/blog/2006/01/new_livegrid_ma.html Shauna -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
