similar to: check_box form helper questions/issues

Hi, I would like to put a checkbox on a form where the input field is a variable rather than a field in a model. The normal way (with a model) would be: <%= check_box(''client'', ''accept'', {}, "1", "0") %> But since accept is a variable @accept and model client will not be there, how do I make a check box work? Regards, Paul

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 didn''t find exactly an answer on this one, so I''d like to get a clarification from folks who live & breathe HABTM. class foo has_and_belongs_to_many :bars end class bar has_and_belongs_to_many :foos end (and yes, I have a bars_foos table in my db) def test_habtm bar = Bar.new foo = Foo.new foo.bars<<bar assert !foo.bars.empty? assert

What is the difference between the check_box_tag and the check_box form helper? I can''t understand why both must exist. :( Thanks. Fernando Lujan

I''ve got a question on the use of check_box. *** This is working but there just has to be a better way: RHTML: <% for book in @books do %> <tr> <td><%=book.label%></td> <td> <%checked = book.subscribed ? ''checked'': ''nope''%> <%=check_box("book" + book.id.to_s,

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%"

I''m yet another person looking to do some background Rails processing. >From post & the wiki, it looks like I should be using RailsCron. So I''m about to start playing. In parallel, I''d like to get some opinions re: database access. I have a table that I''d like to re-fresh periodically in the background. Is it safe, using RailsCron, to be accessing

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

I''m new to RoR and I''m having a little problem that I can''t solve. My model is simple. I have Lists and ListItems. I have a view that loops through all the list items, and I put the HTML for the each list item row in a partial called _list_item.rhtml. This is the view, called show.rhtml <ul> <%= render(:partial => "list_item", :collection =>

I was trying to be all DRY and standardize my layouts to one file and made an application.rhtml. There was no application.rhtml at all before. So I renamed all my controller layouts to .txt and then tested. I got empty pages. I found some issues with Login/UserEngine and application.rhtml, but nothing that looked like this behavior. Is routing messing me up? It''s as if

#check_box and #check_box_tag are going to be the end of me. Why is this always checked? <% checked = @reservation.selected ? ''checked'' : nil %> <td><%= check_box_tag("reservation[" + @reservation.id.to_s + "][selected]", ''checked'', :checked => checked) %></td>

Okay so I have a typical search page where a keyword is entered and results are retrieved that match the keyword. What I want to do now is have checkboxes to search for results in specific areas (my site is a big events calendar with "streams" and "audiences") I want to use the checkboxes to look for results in ''streams'', ''audiences'', or

Fairly high level question here. I''m using LoginEngine & UserEngine with success. My application needs to track user preferences, which includes some associations with my models. Should I be extending the UserEngine model(s) and adding my own attributes? This means adding a lot to a plugin, including extending controllers and views. Or should I be creating my own

I am sure this is a trivial problem for a rails guru! all I want to do is display an appropriately cheched check_box in a table, so: instead of <% for t in @patient.histories%> <tr> <td><%= t.ihd %></td> </tr> <%end%> I want something like: <% for t in @patient.histories%> <tr>

All, I''m populating a view with checkboxes in a list. I want to be able to assign to my has_many relationship using the post values of these checkboxes. Essentially, I want to populate the relationship table which will create the correct join values in my model. Here is my check_box_tag code: <%= check_box_tag("@current_job[target_list_ids][]",

Basically what I''m trying to do is create a way for users to enter "keywords" that will then be searchable. I.e., when a user creates a new Item, there is also a keywords field in the database that is a string like "purple triangle free" -- but all the user sees when they are creating the keywords is a series of checkboxes like: __blue __red __purple __circle

I have a User model and an Address model. A user has_many addresses, and an address belongs_to a user. An address object for a user could be a billing, shipping or marketing address. The way I''m tracking this is via the user attributes: billing_adress_id, marketing_address_id and shipping_address_id in the user table, which holds the relevant address id. But in my form that allows a

I''ve got the following problem, I''ve created two check_boxes in my view. The user has to select one check_box, but isn''t allowed to seth both of them together on true. Now i am looking for functionality that can help me doing the folling: Scenario 1 CheckBox1 = True, The user sets CheckBox2 from False to True, now CheckBox1 should automatically become False.

Hi, I have a few simple rails questions: Does the check_box_tag map to an int or to a boolean field within the database?
