similar to: Using partials with form_for

Hi, I read some articles about why partials should not have instance variables in them. But in "Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial" the author starts with this partial: View: <%= form_for(@user) do |f| %> <%= render ''shared/error_messages'' %> Partial: <% if @users.errors.any? %> ... ... I thought removing the @user instance variable from the partial

i''m having problem with a form_for situation where i''m trying to DRY out the repeated parts of my forms and put them in common/form and render the form elements via another partial in controller_name/_form. Here''s the first form # app/views/common/form <% form_for ... do |f| -%> <%= render :partial => "params[:controller]/form", :object => f

I love form_for, but I really hate <% form_for :person, @person, :url => {...} do |f| %> ... <%= render :partial => ''form'', :locals => {''f'' => f} ... <% end %> I''ve been thinking of instead allowing <% form_for :person, @person, :url => {...} do |f| %> ... <%= f.partial ''form''

Is it possible to pass this FormBuilder object to a controller and then back to a partial? I have a form rendering a partial that i would like to update with a call to my controller based on user selectable parameters, but when the AJAX comes back, i get this error message because i cannot pass a form builder object between the controller and the view: "undefined method

Hi, I''ve got a public\images\DownArrow.jpg and app\views\expenses\new.html.erb that want to present this image in the following context: <p> <%= f.label :vendor %><br /> <%= f.text_field :vendor %> <%= f.image "DownArrow.jpg" %> <br> <%= select_tag "test", options_for_select(@current_vendors.collect {

hi all.. i am trying to use *fields_for* to get and save nested attributes in a form. i have a ''Partner'' model associated with an ''Address'' model. partner has_many :addresses although the form is displaying fine, but on submitting it the following error is shown: *can''t convert HashWithIndifferentAccess into Array* on this line: *@partner =

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

I’ve been spending a great deal of time chasing this problem. Hopefully someone sees something obvious I’m doing wrong. Basically anytime I try to call fields_for from an RJS file or within a partial in the RJS file, I get the following error. My goal is simply to load a partial into a div. The fields in this partial require fields_for though. And that’s where the problem lies.

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 --

I would like to use form_for in my project so that I can easily change the style of many forms at once. However, it seems to me like FormBuilders only support certain kinds of form elements(!). Surely there must be a way to add arbitrary labels/form elements to a form. Let''s say I had a form that looks like: ID: (plain-text label) Name: (text field) Birthdate: (date chooser) Picture:

Hello - I am fairly new to Ruby on Rails, but feel like I am learning quick. I have what seems to be a fairly unique issue as I cannot find much out there that describes what I''m seeing. Hopefully it''s a very simple fix, and I simply can''t see the forest through all the trees! I am attempting to create 2 related drop-down lists in the same form_for, both using

I''m getting an error in the partial when i try <% form_for :name do |form| %> <%= render_partial "#{@current_stage}" %> <% end %> So I assume that form_for does not have scope in the partial? If that is the case what are my solutions... Do I have to stick a <% form_for in every partial, or do i just change all my inputs back to text_field

Hi there! Im trying to use rjs templates to add form fields to an existing form. So for example a user could fill out a form and optionally hit a link_to_remote and get another set of identical fields to fill before sending. This would mean he/she could add ex. more than one record in the same form. The original form was rendered with form_for and using a partial: <% form_for :example,

Hello, I would like a user to fill out a form (a long contract) and then email it to them, including the new values. So I was leaning towards a partial or layout so I didn''t have to write the contract twice. But that''s where I run into problems. The only difference between the form (contract) and the email are the form tags will be replaced with their actual values. For

Hi Am facing a problem in accessing the error_messages. Actually am using form_tag is there any way with which i can access error_messages with form_tag. I don''t want to use form_for.

Hi all, I cannot figure out how to correctly use the with_output_buffer helper method (located in ActionView::Helpers::CaptureHelper) inside a custom FormBuilder. Below follows a simplified example. I''m trying to achieve the following behavior in an ERB as suggested in the form_for helper docs in the Rails source: ========== <%= form_for @object, :builder => MyFormBuilder do

I am a rails newbie and am trying to build my first app. I have a jobs and categories controller and models respectively.

If there is an error with the submitted password on a form, then both the password and password confirmation text fields should be highlighted in red. The default seems to be to highlight only the password field. Any suggestions on how to correct that? Because rails magically handles the highlighting, I''m not sure how to intercept that. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --
