given the following code snippet:
class PatientsController < ApplicationController
...
def find
@patients = Patient.find(:all, :conditions => { :location =>
[params:search_string] })
end
I would like to add a few hard coded links (i.e. show me all the
patients in a particular location)
This makes sense to me:
<% link_to "=Hospital 1 census", {:controller=>"/
patients", :action=>"find", :search_string=>"Hospital
1"} %>
but gives me error "Couldn''t find Patient with ID=find" (The
above
link generates the URL example.com/patients/find?
search_string=Hillcrest)
I tried playing around with routes.rb, but got nowhere. What am I
doing wrong?
Thanks,

The way you are receiving parameter is wrong it should be like this
@patients = Patient.find(:all, :conditions => { :location =>params
[:search_string] })

sorry, that''s a typo. it appears the way you suggested in my code (it compiles). i''ll look into the routing some more, i was ready to bash my head in last night and couldn''t take it any more... --b On May 6, 12:59 am, Gul <jhangers...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> The way you are receiving parameter is wrong it should be like this > > @patients = Patient.find(:all, :conditions => { :location =>params > [:search_string] }) > > GUL > > On May 6, 12:40 pm, big poppa <cbnew...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > given the following code snippet: > > > class PatientsController < ApplicationController > > ... > > def find > > @patients = Patient.find(:all, :conditions => { :location => > > [params:search_string] }) > > end > > > I would like to add a few hard coded links (i.e. show me all the > > patients in a particular location) > > > This makes sense to me: > > > <% link_to "=Hospital 1 census", {:controller=>"/ > > patients", :action=>"find", :search_string=>"Hospital 1"} %> > > > but gives me error "Couldn''t find Patient with ID=find" (The above > > link generates the URL example.com/patients/find? > > search_string=Hillcrest) > > > I tried playing around with routes.rb, but got nowhere.

Since find is not one of the standard actions, have you included a specific route for patients/find? The default routes generated by map.resources :patients will assume that find is a patient id, expecting to see patients/2 for example.

Having thought further about this I would suggest that you may going about it the wrong way anyway. I think what you are trying to do is select a set of patients for display. The default action for showing a set of patients is the index action, which by default would show all patients and is accessed by example.com/patients. You could use the URL example.com/patients?search_string=Hillcrest (or whatever) and test for the presence of params[:search_string] in the index method of the controller. Then no special routing is required.

Suppose I wanted to do this.

Also I do not put a leading / when using map.connect but I do not know whether that is an issue or not. So I would put map.connect ''patients/find'' .... Use rake routes to show you the current mapping.
