Hi, Does anyone have a link or information on how to handle lists of checkboxes in rails? I am working on a property site and each property has a list of features which are rendered as a list of checkboxes. I am trying to figure out how to handle which ones are checked and which not and persist them back to the database. Sorry for the noob question.

The check_box helper in your view and a call to update_attributes in your controller are all you need :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi!

I need to show a list of tags so that tags belonging to the page are checked. I''m bewildered with "method" parameter it should be a string and I don''t know how to write it if I want to call @page.includes?(topic).

hi damian i recently did a similar thing, so here''s maybe what you are looking for - it may not be the best or most elegant way - i didn''t use checkbox helper, because i couldn''t get it going properly - i''m still a newbie, but this works in your view: <% for section in @sections%> <input type="checkbox" id= "<%section.id%>" name="section_ids[]" value="<%=section.id%>" <%if @content.sections.include? section %> checked="checked" <%end%>><%=section.name%> <% end%> in controller (new or create): @content.sections= Section.find(@params[:section_ids]) if @params[:section_ids] hope this helps george --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I just tend to use:
<%= check_box("product", "is_active") %>
where "product" is an AR object stored in @product, and
"is_active" is a
column name of type boolean (if the method is a string, it is taken to
be an AR column name).
Further information can be found in the Rails wiki:

Thanks Michael, Just tried it out and it does exactly what I was looking for and in good rails style it took about 5 minutes as well.

This is an approach I''m using now, I just wanted to see whether I can write less code. I''m thinking of writing my own helper for it, but as I''m a newbie, I should find out how to do it.
