similar to: Problem with nested form using collection_select and date_select

I''m in the position where I want to redirect_to a form and populate a few of the values to make things easier on the user (say, if I know the user is going to use the form 3 times but some of the data will remain the same). I accomplish it like this: def add @inventory = Inventory.new(params[:inventory]) end And then, somewhere else... redirect to :action => :add,

Hi everyone I am trying to get the return value from collection_select helper method. Here is what I did collection_select(''product'', ''product_id'', @products, ''id'', ''name'', {}, {:onchange => remote_function(:url => {:action => :myFunction}, :with => "this[this.selectedIndex].value")}) then in my

Hi, I render a couple of date_select fields, the HTML looks fine, I can see the values submitted back to the server, but AR doesn''t pick them up from the hash in Booking.new(params[''booking'']). I''ve got a ''booking'' object with parameters product, startdate and enddate. HTML snippets: <select

I have an app that has two models -- products and details. I''m building a form that allows a user to create a new product and specify a description, etc. The form needs to allow for creation of multiple items in the details model/table. for example, I have a block of form items that collect info for the men''s version of the product -- inventory count for each size, etc. And

hi people I don''t know much about ajax - jquery. And right now I need to use some functionality with them. In a form (sales model) I have the following code: <div> <%= f.label :product_id, "Product" %> <%= f.collection_select( :product_id, Product.all, :id, :name, options={} ) %> </div> <div> <%= f.label :price,

I have a rails app that has a sync feature which looks up a remote database and updates the local database accordingly. Anyway, things work great for the most part, but there is a section of code which seems to randomly raise errors. I have something like this: homelinks = Syncinventorydesc.find(:all) InventoryDescription.delete_all() for link in homelinks locallink =

hi, i tried posting this yesterday, but i never saw my message make it to the list so i suspect something went awry.. my rails app has some ''sync'' code where it connects to a remote db, grabs the records from a table, deletes all the records from a table which is a local copy, and then rebuild the table with the records fetched on the remote db.. it boggles the mind how a

Hi, In the Agile book, it is told that by putting a :unique => true will dedup the row with ActiveRecord. But it''s not working out for me. Do I need edge rails for this? I simply want to dedup any join model associations, for instance: category_id | inventory_id 384 1 first entry 384 2 this would be ok. 384 1 this would

I am using date_select and in some instances it only shows about 10 years worth of choices. Same form on other users shows the whole range. date_select looks like this <%= date_select ''user'',''birthdate'' , :start_year => 1940 %> I would expect to always see 1940-2006 or so , but i dont always do. Is there a way to force the range or explain why i

Hi, I''ve looked on api.rubyonrails.org but I''ve not found how to add to a date_select(object, method, options = {}) a class option to set the class of all the select tags. I''ve tried using "class" => "myclass" in thoose ways: <%= date_select("costo", "data", "class" => "testo" ) %> <%=

hello, i would like to display a collection of records on one page (e.g. an author record with all his/her books). a record contains a text_area (e.g. a description of the book) and a date_select (e.g. when the book was published). <% for @book in @author.books %> <%= text_area ''book[]'', ''note'' %> <%= datetime_select

I''m trying to select items from a database by their date field. The date data is coming from a form using the date_select helper. The field in the database is named date_notified_on. My controller method is this: def history_date if(@params) @notifications = Notification.find(:all, :conditions => ["date_notified_on = ?",

Just looked at the Date helper in the rails API and noticed that none of the functions there (i.e. date_select) allow me to specify html options (i.e. class) for the generated selects. I was wondering how do other group members css format date select dropdowns?

I''m trying to get a collection_select generated Drop-down box to display two fields from a table (first name & last name); however, I am having trouble concatenating the symbols. It appears as though any code I put in the 5th argument for collection_select is processed prior to executing the collection_select method. The code executes successfully with 1 symbol in the 5th

Hi there, I''m new to Rails -- started with this project just about five days ago -- I''m re-building an in-house ordering tool, and it would be handy to pre-populate a date_select field with a value two weeks from now. The calculation isn''t the hard part, it''s getting date_select to pre-populate itself. Any suggestions? Thanks, --Jim

I have the following code, but can''t seem to get the class attribute to show up in the generated select elements. I saw something about a bug/patch. However, as am still learning RoR I didn''t want to jump to conclusions. Anyone see anything wrong: <%= f.date_select :expiration_date, :order => [:month, :year], :discard_day => true, :class => "dtfld" %>

Hi, I am doing the following: <% obj.contracts.each do |@contract| -%> ... <%= hidden_field("contract[]", :contractor_id, :index => @contract.contractor.id) %> <%= date_select("contract[]", :starting_on, :index => @contract.contractor.id) %> ... <% end -%> Here are the request parameters: {"commit"=>"Save",

I am a little confused about the best way to work with date_select. I see that in my views it generates a simple input form that allows for the entry of year, month and date information. If I just leave it at that, great! But what if now in the controller, I want to work with the date information.
