similar to: Setting DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS in Rails 2.3

Hi there, I''m trying to override the defaults for form_helper. I can see in action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb: class InstanceTag #:nodoc: include Helpers::TagHelper attr_reader :method_name, :object_name DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS = { "size" => 30 }.freeze unless const_defined?(:DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS) DEFAULT_RADIO_OPTIONS = { }.freeze

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" =>

Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

Hi, Does anyone know a good way to override AR associations to take special cases into account. My current take is the example below which allows the ''root'' user to access all products, but only works if I remember to call it with a .all/.find or similar method: ''user.products.all'' instead of ''user.products''. Ideally I guess I want to return a

Hi All I have four radio buttons created like this <%= radio_button_tag :answers, 1, false %> a <br/> <%= radio_button_tag :answers, 2, false %> b <br/> <%= radio_button_tag :answers, 3, false %> c <br/> <%= radio_button_tag :answers, 4, false %> d <br/> And then I have a link_to tag to invoke a controller function

What is the best way to override some of the FormHelper default options? Right now I''m adding this to the beginning of my environment.rb: ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT_TEXT_AREA_OPTIONS = { "cols" => 80, "rows" => 5 } Is that the way it''s supposed to be done? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message

is there anyway that scaffold would read the database and I don''t have to specify any of the columns? it is really frustraiting specially when you''ve got a lotta cols and tables!

Guys, I''ve been chasing a problem with country_select for the past few hours now. My intention was pretty simple...use the following line in a form: <p><label for="country_region">Country</label> <%= f.country_select :country_region, "United States" %></p> However, for the life of me, I couldn''t get it to work. I kept getting

I have a requirement that can''t be that outrageous.... I want to be able to upload an image, and have multiple thumbnails be created for each. Then, I want to post process each image (the main image plus the thumbnails) to add borders. The trick is that the borders need to be different for each image. I thought I could use the after_resize handler, but when I try to add a border to

I want to override the ''tag'' method in ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper to do some generalized error handling similar to the way scaffolding puts a red border around fields that fail validation. I''ve created a file lib/rails_patches/tag_helper.rb which contains the following. module ActionView module Helpers module TagHelper alias_method :orig_tag, :tag

Hi, i have some issues with the default rails error wrapping. It wraps errors in a div with class ''fieldsWithError'', which is not good practice in my eyes. Adding a class ''error'' to the field would be much nicer. My solution to the problem: build your own FormBuilder. Funny enough, i found no (nice) possibility to switch error wrapping off while using the

Can someone please help me with this. I have an Images table :- create table images ( id integer unsigned not null auto_increment primary key, image varchar(200) not null default '''' )ENGINE=InnoDB default CHARSET=latin1; And a car table :- create table cars ( id integer unsigned not null auto_increment primary key, user_id integer unsigned not null, title varchar(100) not

I''m attempting to use the example given in the Rails Recipes book chapter 2, to create a select drop-down using the InPlaceEditor function (modified to be InPlaceSelectEditor. The example given works (a country list drop-down), but I''m attempting to use it to display a list of items generated from an object in another table that is linked to the table that I''m editing.

Hi Community, I''m currently trying to create a blog software in rails, but I''ve got a problem: I generated scaffolding for my articles and only want administrators to write, edit or delete articles. So I wanted to move this parts to another, secured controller. The one controller to display articles is called articles :), the other is also called articles, but is located in a

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

I''m just wondering where I would put the pagination for search results when using "acts_as_ferret". At the moment my search code is.. def search @query = params[:query] || '''' unless @query.blank? @results = Tutorial.find_by_contents @query end end Cheers SchmakO -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi everybody, I needed change field error rendering for some forms created with Rail''s form builder. I found solution by changing ActionView::Base::field_error_ proc to own before form and changing it back after form rendered. I don''t like this solution :) It''s not thread-safe (but it''s not so important, nobody really wants it :), but I don''t like

Thanks Wolas! Sorry if this seems like a newbie question, what am I supposed replace the stubbed_method_name with? Also, I came across the only thread on the Interwebs which seems to cover this topic - it''s over a year old, but I think they have a solution which could work around the issues you pointed out. However, I couldn''t work out how to get their subbing approach to

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you
