Hi all
Im new to ruby on rails but trying to learn fast however i''ve hit a
roadblock. Im trying to do an sql statement in a view to get values from
a table however I have not been able to get get back just the values, I
seem to get the column names and the values as shown below.
seller_rating8advert_rating10commentGreat ad for that item of yours.
The line I am using to do this is
<%= rating = Product.connection.select_all("select comment,
seller_rating, advert_rating from ratings ")%>
I was also hoping to use the rating bit to print out the the values on
their own line for a row and then have a line and then print out the
next row as before.
e.g
seller ratting: 8
advert_rating: 10
comment: Great ad for that item of yours.

Each hash will map the column name from your query to its value. Your "<%=" then means output this value. When you ask Ruby to print a hash, it just rubs together keys and values as you are seeing. Firstly, you have model specific code in your view. If the ratings table changes, you will need to hunt through your code for things like this and change them. If you have a ratings table, then do you not have a Ratings model? Why use another model (Product) to look up a Rating? It looks like you actually want your lookup to be: Rating.find(:all) Much simpler and no SQL. Then you can go through then printing them out something like this: <% Rating.find(:all) do |rating| %> Seller rating: <% rating.seller_rating %><br /> Advert rating: <% rating.advert_rating %><br /> Comment: <% rating.comment %><br /> <hr /> <% end %> If you do find yourself needing to run SQL to get some results, decide what model is best associated with the query and add a method to that model to get the data. Then elsewhere, you just need to call that method and use the results. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I want them to be able to move to a page and the comment related to that pages item will appear. e.g Product''s details Then comments from the rating table related will appear here. Im only getting started with rails so I don''t know much about its ins and outs. Im not sur how to do methods in models and the databases, along with pages were created using scaffold. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

In your Product show method, you are probably doing something like: @product = Product.find(params[:id]) ? If so, then update this to: @product = Product.find(params[:id], :include => :ratings) Then, in your view, you can display your Product object (@product), then to display the ratings for that product something like: <% @product.ratings.each do |rating| %> Seller rating: <% rating.seller_rating %><br /> Advert rating: <% rating.advert_rating %><br /> Comment: <% rating.comment %><br /> <hr /> <% end %> Is this more what you have in mind? If not, can you explain more about your class definitions, tables, how they are related and then the output you want in those terms? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
