Hey guys, I''m trying to have a simple webform in my administration section to add a user. I have the text_fields for adding the user''s name, password, and password confirmation, but cannot seem to figure out the checkbox. I want it to be a single checkbox, that if clicked, will set the database column "access" to be "admin" and if its unchecked, set it to be

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

Hi, Is it possible to use the ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper.text_field with an instance variable instead of a model. e.g. In the controller: def meth @value = ''hi there'' end In view: <%= text_field ''value'', nil %> It doesn''t work with what is above (doesn''t like the nil) and produces very strange results replacing nil with

On here: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html#method-i-check_box-label-Gotcha you see this code: <%= fields_for "project[invoice_attributes][]", invoice, :index => nil do |form| %> <%= form.check_box :paid %> ... <% end %> why are they using :index => nil in the example? I mean I know that what it does is ensure that the

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''ve installed the "acts_as_authenticated" plugin and made some modifications to the controller (app/controllers/account_controller.rb) "signup" module as follows: === def signup @page_title = ''Create Account'' @user = User.new(@params[:user]) if request.post? if @user.save session[:user] = User.authenticate(@user.login,

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

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

It seems like the form helpers, such as "link_to" and "check_box" really slows down rendering when you have hundreds of rows. Has anyone else noticed this?? Is there a way to go around it apart from typing the raw html? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

I''m rendering a partial using a collection: <%=render(:partial=> ''record'', :collection => @records)%> Inside the partial, I''m attempting to create a new form for each row, generating elements like the following example: <%= text_field "record", "name" %> However, though my objects are fully populated, these form tags

When I look at the docs, password_field seems to take 3 arguments. So when I ''play around" with things and I attempt to pass three arguments to password_field ... I get an error saying that it only takes two parameters ("3 for 2") I am totally lost. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I am wondering why is in creating text fields with form_helper used value_before_type_cast instead of attribute value for field value? I set rails enviroment so date fields are in european format (dd.mm.yyyy) and would like to have same format in forms, but because of value_before_type_cast is called, form fields are filled with ''yyyy-mm-dd'' or timestamp integer, etc.

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody could help me figure why a view cannot find a method that I defined in another class. I do this in the view: (let''s say index.rhtml) <%= check_box("item_search_page", "method_name") Here, item_search_page is a variable in the view''s controller, which creates a new ItemSearchPage object. And I defined

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 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

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.

I''m getting some weirdness with integration testing. The following works fine if I don''t have parameters, but as soon as I add parameters I get a hang. Not sure exactly where it is hanging. NO HANG post ''user/register'' HANG post ''user/register'', :user => {:name => ''John Doe'', :email =>
