Hi there everyone, I''ve recently moved to RoR and am still struggling with the basics of what used to be second nature in php, so on with my question: I have a database with products, and I need to create a search form that paginates the results. What I have so far in my controller is: def list # If the values are nil, then set them, otherwise wrap them in % # Also,

Ahoy, I checked the API and did some forum searches but didn''t find anything good on table sorting. Is there a "railish" way to do this? My current method really is lacking (i''m on like rails day 2) <th><%= link_to ''Name'', :action => ''list'', :order => ''name'' %></th>

What I''m trying to do is have clickable column headers that will sort the table by that column. What I have below works, except there is only one variable storing the sort direction for all the columns, whereas I need a separate one for each column name. list view: <th><%= link_to ''Category'', :action => ''list'', :order =>

Ahoy, I made this pager, " def list @item_pages = Paginator.new self, Item.count, 10, @params[''page''] @items = Item.find :all, :conditions => "category_id = #{params[:condition]}", :limit => @item_pages.items_per_page, :offset => @item_pages.current.offset @categories = Category.find_all

Hi all, I''ve just added d&d sorting to a list where each item is a link_to .. Problem: when I drop an item to its new location, the browser think I clicked, and follows the link. Any idea? TIA. Alain

Ive got a like and video model. On a Video page, Users can click a link ("like") button which will allow them to like a particular video. Since my like button/image comes in the form of a link and not an actual html form. How should this be implemented? Do I need to specify a ":method => puts" in my link_to tag helper? What are your thoughts? -- You received this

Hey I need some help with pagination and the link_to in the view. I''m trying to include a hash in the pagination link_to params and it keeps flattening out my hash. Example: Here''s my hash called @answer: "answer"=>{"6"=>"9bf31c7ff062936a96d3c8bd1f8f2ff3", "7"=>"6f4922f45568161a8cdf4ad2299f6d23"}

because I am a grasshopper... Now that I can sort my ''list''...is there a logical way of not repeating myself to having essentially the same list view with multiple sorts? i.e. def list_cl # ordered by clients last name @placement_pages, @placements = paginate( :placements, :include => [:client], :order_by =>

I''m still a newb but having fun - Any help on this problem will be much appreciated. I have mymodel Call.rb class Call < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user has_many:visits, :dependent => :destroy has_many:visits do def latest find :all, :order => ''id DESC'', :limit => 3 end def all_latest find

In a previous thread some people were interested in ways to sort a table. I mentioned a simple method for doing so by using links in the titles. Having actually tried to implement this strategy, I have come across several refinements that I would like to share. First... your table view should look like this... ... <table> <tr> <th><%= link_to

I tried using the killall -USR1 mongrel_rails to check on a problem, and all I get is mongrel_rails: no process killed Nothing shows in the log. Any ideas? I''m using the latest pre-release, and a ''ps'' shows my cluster is running. Cheers, Brett

I have a search page with a text_field as below <%= text_field ''program'', ''program_name'' %> After I perform the search in my controller I go to a search results view which shows search results and uses Rails pagination. Now how to pass the search paramters (i.e. params[:program][:program_name] in my controller) to the pagination links (next and

Hi everyone, I''m at the end of my rope on this. I can''t get pagination to work with anything but a standard find on a model. If I try to do a search and customize the pagination, I get lots of different variations. My thought was to have the list action do what it does, but to pass it a list of search conditions from the search action. So, if search determines that we need

I''ve now got 5 processes auto started. But I when I query the MiddleMan for their keys (in script/console), it doesn''t find them. Looking at the start script, it looks like it might be creating a new MiddleMan object for each autostart BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan.new.new_worker(:class => entry[''class''], Even changing it to

I''ve used Railscron in a couple instances, and I liked that fact that it has a rake task for checking the status of the process. Many times I use it in the admin interface to allow me to double check that everything is up and running. I couldn''t find one for backgroundrb, so here is a simple one. Probably obvious to everyone, and no doubt there is a better way to do it:

Ezra, Sorry for inundating the list. In using the autostart, repeat_every, and first_run, I noticed a behaviour I didn''t expect. I would like the job to run starting at 2am, and then every 24 hours. So I set first_run to Time.now.beginning_of_day + 2.hours, and repeat_every to 24.hours. The problem is if backgroundrb starts up at 6am (due to a code change or server bump), then the
