Hi all, I just can''t figure why the view cannot find a method that I defined in another class. I do this in the view: <%= check_box("item_search_page", "method_name") Here, item_search_page is a variable in the controller, which creates a new ItemSearchPage object. class ItemSearchPage def method_name end end So, although I defined it and it''s

In the example below, what is the dash doing between the class attribute and array: (field_helpers - [:label, :check_box, :radio_button, :fields_for, :hidden_field, :file_field]).each do |selector| -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''ve tried this (in a new method/template -- so @type doesn''t actually exist yet): check_box ''type'', ''notify_on_create'', {:checked=>''true''} But :checked seems to get swallowed. I''ve also tried setting notify_on_create to true in the Type model, but that doesn''t work either. Any way to get the

I have a series of checkboxes in a form generated as follows: <% for user in @active_users %> <p><%= user.firstname + " " + user.surname%> <%= check_box ''assigned_tasks'', ''user_id'', {:index => user.id}, user.id, nil %></p> <% end %> I''d like to have one of them selected when user.id is equal to the

Hi ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper methods (e.g. #text_field, #check_box...) take object_name as an argument. From this argument they infer a name that is supposed to contains the reference to the relevant object. I can''t see why the FormHelper methods were designed that way. Compared to simply passing them a reference, the current way seems too complicated and an invitation to problems

Noobie question here. :) I have a form with check boxes on them. I simply want the user to check the appropriate boxes, click the action (Add Visits). It''s my understanding, that these check box values go into a hash (add_visit_for_this_Pt), but I can''t seem to get this hash back to my controller for processing. Below is my form. Basically, all the controller is

I have a User ActiveRecord model that has email and password properties. I want to build a login for that has a "remember me" option. My view looks like this: <% @page_title = "Login" -%> <%= error_messages_for ''user'' %> <%= form_tag %> <table> <tr> <td align="right" width="1%"

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 always wanted to be able to do stuff like this in my functional tests c = customers(:customer_1) c.expects(:great_customer_service) post :service_customer, :id => c.id This of course fails because inside the rails action a different instance of customer is used. Some of the time setting your expectation/stubbing on Customer.any_instance works, but it''s not

Hey all, I have a question with using mocha in my tests. In the same test file, I have two tests, <code> def test_a klass.any_instance.stubs(:method_name).returns("something") klass.new.method_name ... end def test_b ... klass.new.method_name ... end </code> where klass is some class when the tests run, test _a passes, but test_b had an error like this:

I am serializing a data object (FooData) into an ActiveRecord column (Foo). I''d like to be able to do delegate methods to the data class if the Foo class doesn''t have that attribute. So instead of: f = Foo.new f.data.item1 I''d like to do: f = Foo.new f.item1 I was hoping that I could add a method_missing method to my Foo class and call methods in the FooData class

Hey Everyone. First day diving in to ROR and Ruby... My question is how do you define methods with in the model class and/or should I even be doing this? It is my understanding that you should put as much of the business logic into the model as possible. I want to do some data manipulation before I things are submitted to the database IE (Create a variable out of two submitted via form, as

Hello all. Am I going totally nuts here and just want to check (Natch!) something. A normal check_box has two value posssibilities. One for checked and one for unchecked, the value gets submitted with a form. The check_box_tag on the other hand, has a checked_value (Called just ''value'') and for the unchecked value...nothing, zip, nada. This means that if you submit a form with

Hi all, After many days of struggling, I have a multi-model form with ajax elements more or less working, but I''m hitting a wall with a few bugs that I can''t figure out. Guidance would be very much appreciated. I''m using the Ryan Bates technique from Advanced Rails recipes to dynamically add and remove elements on a multi-model form.

For example if I use the chek_box formhelper 1/ check_box("puppy", "gooddog", {}, "yes", "no") will call @puppy.gooddog BUT, how it is possible since the check_box has only a string parameters not instance object ? 2/ if you create your own helper which generate
