similar to: Make a checkbox checked based on a condition?

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''m using link_to_remote to show details for an item that''s clicked. I''d like to hide the div with the next click, or alternatively have a "Hide" link within my div. What is the best way to accomplish this? Here''s my existing code: <% for task in @mytasks %> <div class="rowFormat"> <%= link_to_remote(

I have a Product related to sizes by way of has_and_belongs_to_many. Currently in my product form partial, I have this really ugly (although functional) code. Note the hanging ">" that closes the "<input>". <p><label for="sizes">Sizes</label><br/> <% for size in @sizes %> <input type="checkbox"

Can''t seem to find an example of this anywhere - how do I populate a select list in a form from a database? I have a form to create a new task. The task is for a client, so there should be a select list populated from my clients table. I thought this would work: <%= select ''task'', ''client_id'', Client.find_all, "id", "name"

So I finally got everything up and running, and I''ve seen some "magical" stuff in tutorials bragging how easy and wonderful Rails is (and I believe it, for the most part). What I need now is a reference, a site or a book, that respects that I know a thing or two about app development and programming, but not necessarily anything about models, classes and controllers. I

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

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 used scaffolding, then modified. As an after thought I added a "boolean" checkbox to my database, form with this tag <p> <%= check_box ''is_hot_item'', @photo.is_hot_item %> <label for="is_hot_item">hot item?</label><br> </p> I check it and save. But I don''t get 1 saved in my database field. :( I have just the

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

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

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''m retrieving a list of tasks to display in a page using @delegatedtask_pages, @delegatedtasks = paginate :tasks, :conditions => "user_id = " + session[:user_id].to_s + " percent_complete <> 100", :order_by => ''due_on asc'' I''d like to only list the tasks which have been assigned to other people. I have a table called

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.

I have a checkbox tag as follows: <%= f.check_box :receive_offers %> When I view source in the html, I see the value of the checkbox is "1", with the normal hidden field value of "0". However, after posting the form and saving to the database, the Mysql column, which is a TinyInt, is ALWAYS 0. I''ve tried it with true/false values instead, and no luck. Any

in the mean time i am using a checkbox like this : <input type="checkbox" name="var[car]" <%= var.car ? ''checked'' : '''' unless @var == nil %> /> but i am sure there is something better than this in rails like <%= checkbox_tag ''var'', ''car'', :checked => true %> but this is not

#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>

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 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

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
