Trying to use Amy Hoy''s ajaxariffic auto_complete methodology and I am getting really close to the end. This is fairly complicated but I will simplify as best I can. My view code is simple... <%= text_field_with_auto_complete ''client'', ''wholename'' %> # wholename is not a column in ''clients'' but rather represents an

I have the text_field_with_auto_complete woking on my user DB using last_name. so looking for ''ivanoff'' works great, but I can''t find ''john''. Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

I am working on writing a search method where a user can type a string of words and I return all the objects that have fields that match all of the words in one or a combination of fields. Person first_name last_name Pet name Person has_many :pets I want to write some SQL so that if I search for "Tony AAAA" I will get all the people who have Tony and AAA either in their

Hi everyone, I''m at the end of my rope on this. I can''t get pagination to work with anything but a standard find on a model. If I try to do a search and customize the pagination, I get lots of different variations. My thought was to have the list action do what it does, but to pass it a list of search conditions from the search action. So, if search determines that we need

I have a number of models that use an aggregation to combine First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name and they have been working fine. I am looking to clean this up, DRY it if possible. I have things like this in application.rb class Clwholename attr_reader :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name def initialize(first_name, middle_initial, last_name) @first_name = first_name

I''m getting this error message since i moved alot of the database logic to the model. wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password +

wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? I''m not sure why I"m getting this error ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password + user.password_salt) != user.password_hash

I am trying to use Ferret for searching for users based on first and last name. In my index, I am adding the first_name, last_name, and a full_name which is basically "#{first_name} #{last_name}". I am searching the index using something like the following query: INDEX.search_each(%Q/first_name:#{query}* OR last_name:#{query}* OR full_name:#{query}*/) do |doc, score| The problem I am

Hi! I faced some issue while using it for dynamic attrs indexing/search. Maybe I made something wrong. Here is test method. Everything works just fine until last line http://pastie.caboo.se/66274 . Tested on both stable and trunk of aaf and ferret 0.11.4. the short version of code below: Contact.acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :first_name ] assert

I have a Person model with attributes first_name and last_name. I want to implement autocomplete search that looks that the entire name. Hence I have a method: def full_name self.first_name + " " + self.last_name end Is it possible for me to query on full_name and have rails match the first_name and last_name fields? I currently receive this error when I try, because full_name

I can''t figure out why I am getting a failure. It renders out fine in the browser. <h1>New member</h1> <%= error_messages_for :member %> <% form_for(:member, :url => members_path) do |f| %> <fieldset> <legend>Member Info</legend> <p><label for="member[first_name]">First Name:</label> <%=

I''m trying to create a form where a collection is created, using the example from the Rails 0.9.5 weblog posting: http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/archives/2005/01/26/rails-095-a-world-of- fixes-and-tweaks/ I''m having a bit of trouble. The controller currently looks like this: class StudentController < ApplicationController def new render_text @params.inspect

I don''t have a class by the name of "ReviewersScoreCard", yet my many to many configuration looks as follows. And, these errors while running some simple test with ./script/console is giving me a headache: ./script/console Loading development environment. >> r = Reviewer.find_first => #<Reviewer:0x19d0a48 @attributes={"id"=>"1",

Trying to use Eric''s help and Amy Hoy''s page of playing with auto_complete and decided that the script/console is the place to rapidly test. I have this feeling that CONCAT isn''t working for postgresql... c = find_by_sql(SELECT * FROM clients WHERE CONCAT (first_name,middle_initial,last_name) = "johnadams") ^ (irb):61:

Hello, I am writing a RoR application that connects to a couchDB database using couchrest_model. The definition of my model is the following one: class BdsDataAuthor < CouchRest::Model::Base property :id, Integer property :first_name, String property :last_name, String end I would like to be able to get the list of the model columns, e.g., the result of BdsDataAuthor.columns would be

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

I''ve searched and searched and searched again, and I cannot find any help with this problem. There''s an identical problem on this forum, but it was never resolved. I''ll try to re-open the subject with a bit more information. Problem: The form_remote_tag() method in my "list" view is not passing the params[] hash of the values stored within my form.
