similar to: FormBuilder in rjs

Hi friends! I''m relatively new with Rails and I''m struggling for a long time with this problem (it should have a pattern solution but until now I didn''t find it): I have the following models: Institution, City, State and Country. class Country < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :states has_many :cities, :through => :states end # == Schema Information # Table

Hi, I want to extend formbuilder to make it output a lable (I know about labeled_form_helper made by technoweenie), my own formating, and a couple of extra tags inside the form attribute. I was easily able to extend form_remote_to. But when I continue to adjust the way elements are handled I don''t know how to continue. I can''t find the method text_field thats should is

Hi, I''m writing my own FormBuilder and I wanted to put an asterisk or something next to any required fields. The Builder has access to the AR object, is there any method I can call on the AR object that will tell me whether or not a particular field is required? Failing that, can I access the complete list of validations so I can look through it for instances of

I''m trying to find a good way to emit <label> tags inside a form_for() block, without needing to repeat the name of the instance variable constantly. Is there a better way to do this than the snippet below, or do I need to do a little extension to the FormBuilder itself? <% form_for :long_example_name, @long_example_name, :url => { :action => :new } do

I''m using the latest trunk of 1.2-ish, and I''m wondering how to do what I want to do. I am using a form_for :builder I wrote, simply called TableFormBuilder after the rails cookbook, and want to be able to present help icons automatically. I want these icons to appear next to form fields I am rendering. For example, I have this method in helpers/table_form_builder.rb: # This

Hi I have three drop downs (State, City, Locality) and would like to populate City based on State selection and Locality based on City selection. I have observers on two fields (State, and City). The observer_field on state works fine and it populates city based on state selection. But the observer on city doesn''t populate Locality. Now sure whats wrong with my code. here is the

Hi all, I have a model that "belongs_to" many other models, many of those models are just list of names, like country, state, city, profession ... I read about the country_select helper. Is better to have all those tables or use custom helpers? what the rails way? Thanks. For example : http://pastie.caboo.se/104092 # = Schema # country_id integer # city_id integer #

Hello all, I have created a migration add_details _to users ... ( city_id , profession ) and then migrated it.. when i use params[:user] to update the database by taking user inputs from forms in views, it is not updating the database for these city_id and profession...

Hi All, I took this idea Christian Hellsten and Jarkko Laine''s "Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce". Here is the situation. I will be using the "options_from_collection_for_select" and "collection_select" form helper methods in my view to render drop-down selection lists for City and State that have corresponding city_id and state_id foreign key references

In my model I have a city_id. ON the form I am using a cascading select to select the state, which then does a remote_submit to get the list of cities (and hence the city_id) for the selected state. The problem that I am having is that if I make a selection, hit SUBMIT and validation fails, the original selected state/city is now reset (ie, the values aren''t saved). Since they

class Event < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :venue belongs_to :category end class Venue < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :city end class City < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :state end I want to retrieve all event records belonging to a state. Coming from hibernate background I tried something like this: def self.list_for_a_state(state_id) find_by_sql(["select e.*

I''ve encountered what seems like an odd omission in the behaviour of belongs_to associations: if you assign to the foreign key attribute, it doesn''t update the associated object (or mark a previously loaded one as stale) until you explicitly save or reload it. Let''s say we have a Company model, which belongs_to :city : >> torchbox =

Hello, How do I get params from a form to use with a paginator? debug(params) shows this city: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess id: "1" but in my controller, when I try to use @hotel_pages = Paginator.new self, Hotel.count(:conditions => "hotels.city_id = params[:city][:id]"), 3, @params[''page''] it doesn''t work. I suppose it''s a simple

I have in my view the following: <% 0.upto(@num_performances) do |idx| -%> <%= text_field ''performance'', ''city'', :index => idx, %> <%= text_field ''performance'', ''venue'', :index => idx, %> <% end -%> and in my controller I have: @performance = [Performance.new("city" =>

The DB load on my site is getting really high so it is time for me to cache common queries that are being called 1000s of times an hour where the results are not changing. So for instance on my city model I do the following: def self.fetch(id) Rails.cache.fetch("city_#{id}") { City.find(id) } end def after_save; Rails.cache.delete("city_#{self.id}"); end; def

I have been messing with this all night, and can''t figure out what''s going wrong here. I have a test that renders the view, and then a shared behavior checks "response" for the various tags from a rails layout. The problem is matching. If I run in the browser the page renders fine. Is there a way to output what the response contains? Here are my tests: describe

I want to write a spec for a custom form builder, but I''m not really sure where it should live or how to include the right rspec_on_rails contexts. Ideally, I should be able to write a spec like: describe LabelledBuilder do it "should let me create a text field" do object = mock(object) object.stub!(:attribute).and_return("Test String") render

In the API docs I found this: "You can also build forms using a customized FormBuilder class. Subclass FormBuilder and override or define some more helpers, then use your custom builder " I couldn''t find any further documentation on this. Where can I read more about this formbuilder class? For starters, where would I define a subclass of this class? TIA, Jeroen --
