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 --

Hello, please forgive me if this answer is obvious! I''m new to Rails this week. I have two database tables, and the associated scaffolding, controllers, models and views. The first is service_provider, which holds a list of service providers. The second is service_provider_countries which is a table of countries (obvious perhaps). In views/service_providers/new.html.erb I have a form,

I''m trying to rewrite a fusebox-like application (Active4D plugin to 4D database) in RoR/postgres and I''m doing okay - but keep running into things that stump me. It seems like it takes me hours to figure out something that I could have written in pure code in minutes. The select_month and select_day helper has been my latest waste of time. All I''m trying to do is add

In my RoR app I would like to change a drop down list, which dispays a list of colors selected from the database. Instead I would like to create a radio button for each color. The user is allowed to check one color and this will be saved back into the database as the color for this user. I don''t know how to do this. Currently it looks like this: <%= select(:user, :color_id,

I''ve added a drop-down list of first and last names of borrowers to a form. How do I sort them by LastName, FirstName in the drop-down? I''m using code based on the cookbook example: <select name="borrower[borrower_id]"> <% @borrowers.each do |borrower| %> <option value="<%= borrower.id %>"> <%= borrower.FirstName <<

The documentation states as an example: select("post", "person_id", Person.find_all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, { :include_blank => true }) could become: <select name="post[person_id]"> <option></option> <option value="1" selected="selected">David</option> <option

Hi, When I try to launch my ruby on rails server, it says my ruby gems version is not up to date. However it is. I''ve even tried reinstalling ruby gems to the latest version, but it still says I have an old version. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I''d be deeply grateful. Here is some code directly from my terminal (I''m on an ubuntu system):

Hi, I want to make an open source rails project as easy as possible to install. Can I use Instant Rails for this? I treid to look at the FAQ but could not see this was possible. Ideally I would like to have Instant Rails install Ruby, Rails, MySql, etc and then have it add my application and add the mysql user (could be just root also) and then the sql for creating the tables. Sound like fun

Hello. I want to select an item from a select list and have that result in an ajax call that updates two sections on the page. Here is the code in the controller def create ... render :update do |page| page.replace_html ''list_items'', :partial => ''lists/list_items'' page.replace_html ''add_item'', :partial =>

I want my date fields to default to NIL or "", because the presence of a date means something. My problem is that rails is defaulting the fields to today''s date automatically when I create a new record through the scaffold. I tried removing the default ''0000-00-00'' and changing NOT NULL to NULL, but both columns get today''s date as the default

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to use the options available with the us_states plugin. What is the proper syntax for using the :priority and :with_abbreviation options? Thanks, jeremy

I sent this earlier but I don''t think it ever came through. Sorry if this is a reposting. When using :priority_zones for time_zone_select in a manner described by the API docs for ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper I''m getting errors. Here is an API docs example: time_zone_select( "user", ''time_zone'', TimeZone.us_zones, :default =>

I would like to have a date control on a page and I would like a behavior similar to what you get using date_select with the :include_blank => true option where the first value in the dropdown is "- Month -", "- Day -", or "- Year -" rather than a blank value for the respective month, day, and year select fields. I took a look at the ruby source for
