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

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 have a page, which renders a partial that contains a ''State'' drop down list. Upon change, it re-renders the ''City'' drop down, re- populating it based on selected state_id: Page: /customer/new.rhtml <% form_for :customer, :url => customers_path do |f| %> State: <%= f.collection_select :state_id, State.find(:all), ''id'',

Hello, my goal is to implement the option of specifying a condition in attr_protected, attr_readonly and possibly other attribute methods in ActiveRecord objects. Rationale (example): class User < AR:Base # User should not be able to modify fields any more once they have been verified attr_readonly :firstname, :lastname, :gender_id, :birthdate, :if => :passport_verified? # ... end

I don''t have a blog, but wanted to share this little bit of code with other semi-beginners like myself who are still learning to take advantage of rails features. Selecting an attribute with a boolean switch is a common pattern in forms. You can do it with a check box, but radio buttons are more expressive in some situations and better convey to the user that they are making a mandatory

hi all i was wondering whether it is possible to use partials along with form_for and form_field. following code is not working. is there some error or this case is impossible..?? *#new.html.erb* <h1>Enter Details for new Partner:</h1> <% form_for(@partner) do |f| %> <%= render :partial => ''form'', :locals => {:partner => f} %> <p>

In a form_for context, is there a way to access objects that are related to the primary object with a belongs_to? I think an example will serve best: class User < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person attr_accessor :username end class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :user attr_accessor :first_name end <% form_for :user do |form| %> <%= form.text_field

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 {

I''m trying to find a good way to emit <label> tags inside a form_for() block, without needing to repeat the name of the instance variable constantly. Is there a better way to do this than the snippet below, or do I need to do a little extension to the FormBuilder itself? <% form_for :long_example_name, @long_example_name, :url => { :action => :new } do

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''

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

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

Hi, I am just ran into the problem that I cannot access helper methods from within a form_for scope. I do have something like the following: <% form_for :potential_buyer, @potential_buyer, :url => { :action => "register" } do |f| %> <%= render(:partial => ''register_form'', :locals => { :f => f } ) %> <% end %> ----- I cannot

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,

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 --

Hi, I have a resource map like this: map.resources :users do |user| user.resource :sreg10record end So a User is supposed to have (at most) one Sreg10record. The problem is in the views. I tried following this tutorial: http://www.akitaonrails.com/2007/12/12/rolling-with-rails-2-0-the-first-full-tutorial which proposes something like: <% form_for( [@user, @sreg10record] ) do |f|

Let''s say I have: map.resources :teams do |team| team.resources :squads, :shallow => true end When I want to generate a form_for a squad, I need both the team and squad for new/create, but only the squad for edit. This means I need: edit: form_for(squad) new: form_for([team, squad]) This seems not very dry. Is there a more idiomatic way of doing this? Right now,

how can i give name attributes for form_for(), so it will give an output like <form name="f">. it is because that i need to access the form name for javascript manipulation. as far as i know, name can only used in form_tag(), but i currently have more than 50 forms that built using form_for(). the structure is like this: <% form_for symbol, item, :url => { :action

Hi guys, I''m having trouble getting named routes and form_for to play nicely in quite the way I would expect. Here''s a quick summary of what I''ve got going on: Named route: resources :thread, :class_name => "forum_thread" Controller name: forum_thread_controller Model object: forum_thread In both my new and edit actions I''m setting up an

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
