Hello, Im trying to understand how this helper method works: def hidden_div_if(condition, attributes = {}) if condition attributes["style"] = "display: none" end attrs = tag_options(attributes.stringify_keys) "<div #{attrs}>" end This is how they are calling it: <%= hidden_div_if(@cart.items.empty?, :id => "cart") %>

I followed the sample code in AWDR 2 like this: store_helper.rb def hidden_div_if(conditions, attributes = {}) if conditions attributes["style"] = "display:none" else attr = tag_options(attributes.stringify_keys) "<div #{attr}>" end end store.html.erb <%= hidden_div_if(@cart.items.empty?, :id => "cart") %> <%=

Hi, I''m trying to write a helper for Scriptaculous'' InPlaceCollectionEditor component. I''ve already submitted a patch (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4302). This was a drunk patch; it needs a bit of work (Don''t drink & code!). So far I''ve gotten it to work correctly with normal collections, but I want to use it for belongs_to relations as

Hi, i need to construct a link as following "<a href=\"#{CONFIG[''URLS''][''Xyz'']}\#{url}\"#{tag_options}>#{name || url}</a>" But here due to escape character #{url} not give actual value it treated as a string. how to solve this ? if i do "<a

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 all, I have a little function called format_price(price) that simply formats the argument as a dollar sign, dollar amount, dot and penny amount. Then, in a .rhtml file, I could do this: <%= format_price(item.unit_price * item.quantity) %> But where do I put the format_price() function definition? The app couldn''t find it in app/controllers/application.rb. Where do I put it

In a number of places in my code I pass options whose value are '''' or nil to one of the tag-generation helper methods. In the HTML this shows up as, e.g. <span class=""> Now, this can be pretty wasteful, but I don''t want to change my evil ways. Thus I''d rather have the framework throw out these options than do it myself. AFAICT, all tag

Hi. I am writing an application that has a lot of boolean conditional display logic, like this: <% if user.description then %> <p class="css_class"><%= user.description %></p> <% end %> Often the displayed content is more complex than the above, and to clean up my views I am trying to pull a lot of this sort of thing into partials. However, the problem

I''m using Ajax to create a list of items. Once these items have been created the user can edit in place and delete them. I''ve got the ajax working for delete and removing the element from the page, but the in_place_editor_field doesn''t seem to like being in a for loop. I''ve got in_place_editor working for single items, but what''s the syntax

I attached a rails helper implementation of the fb_table described here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Styles I included testing and comments. I hope you find it useful. Curiously, it''s really a small extension of FBML. Richard -------------- next part -------------- Index: test/rails_integration_test.rb

I''ve followed the instructions in the Rails Recipe #1 and have the in_place_editor_field working but now I want to tweak how it looks and behaves. I''d like to be able to override the default yellow highlight color, which is done using the highlightcolor param according to the scriptaculous documentation (unless I''m missing something). I''m new to Ruby and Rails

Hi, all I''m trying call link_to from another helper but got this error: undefined method `link_to'' for module `UserHelper'' how can I get access to helper from another helper? this is my users_helper.rb: module UsersHelper alias ink_to_original link_to alias link_to link_to_permission def link_to_permission(name, options = {}, html_options = nil,

I have a few in_place_editor_fields working fine. I can access some of the script.aculo.us options such as :cols, :save_text, :cancel_text, but how do I access the okButton = false & submitOnBlur options? Basically, I want no submit button, a cancel button, and the ability to submit when I tab out of the field. Is this doable without writing a helper? (avoiding digging that deep so

Hi, Is session[:return_to] something Rails maintains to quickly go back to the previous uri without having to keep track of the action name? Or, do we have to actually set it in our actions?

Hi, I''ve created some extensions to script.aculo.us InPlaceEditor, allowing the use of either server-driven, or local autocompletion. I''ve also created new helper methods in Rails for this functionality. My question is, is there any interest that I package this and make it available as a plugin, or something like that?

Hi All, I posted earlier about a problem I was having with the various remote view methods escaping all the javascript in my callbacks. I was quickly informed that that''s just what they do, and offered some workarounds. However, in actually working with this, I''m finding that this one little thing is forcing me to write some REALLY ugly code. Where I thought I could

Is there any way to disable image_tag''s automatic escaping of special html entities in it''s :alt tag? Example: >From the controller: @sale[''title''] = ''My Company Product&copy;'' In the view: <%= image_tag(''path/to/file.png'', :alt => @sale[''title'']) %> Output: <img alt="My Company

Hello, I''m writting some helper methods to write forms, so I have this working code: class TableFormBuilder < ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder ["file_field", "password_field", "text_field"].each do |name| define_method(name) do |label, *args| @template.content_tag(:tr, @template.content_tag(:td, @template.content_tag(:label,

The content_tag helper allows you to do things like: content_tag(:p, "Hello world!") # => <p>Hello world!</p> It can take in blocks, for functionality like this: <% content_tag :div, :class => "strong" do -%> Hello world! <% end -%> # => <div class="strong"><p>Hello world!</p></div> Unfortunately blocks
