I am very new at RoR but am trying to tweak the code for the AJAX table
from http://dev.nozav.org/rails_ajax_table.html.
I have it all working the way I want except for one line of code:
conditions = ["firstname LIKE ?" , "%#{@params[:query]}%"]
unless
@params[:query].nil?
I need this to look at multiple fields not just firstname. Any idea how
I do this?

OR lastname LIKE ?", query, query] end You can add as many OR''s as you want as long as you keep adding more query''s to the end. Your database may not like you if you do this, but that''s another matter :) -philip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Also check out ActiveRecord::Extensions for more hash-based conditions suck as field_like, field_contains, field_lt, field_gt, field_ne, etc. (http://www.continuousthinking.com/tags/arext). However, hash-based conditions are added together with AND rather than OR, so it''s not much use for this particular prooblem.

I am just about to release 0.7.0 for ActiveRecord::Extensions. I am
thinking of including OR functionality. Please email me privately if
you have comments or suggestions on this.
I am planning to have:
Book.find :all, :conditions=>{ :name_like => "Star
Wars", :or_name_like=>"Star Trek" }
generate SQL like:
name LIKE "Star Wars"OR name LIKE "Star Trek"
It''s limitation is that it will not be able to group OR''d
selectors,
but it provides basic OR capabilities. thought?
