similar to: Form Field Helpers... Do they need objects?

I''m using Rails 1.1.x and it looks like the check_box form helper expects me to provide and object and method so it can determine if the checkbox should be checked or not. I''m having a couple of issues with this. note: I''m using UserEngine and adding a HABTM so that: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :foos end class foo <

I just put this up on the wiki, and thought I''d share in case it''s useful to anyone else. This is handy if you don?t want to wrap your input elements inside a div when an error occurs, but instead want to add some sort of CSS style to fields with errors: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| msg = instance.error_message error_style =

Hello, i have the application set up on my radrails. I was looking at the view generated by scaffold and i see a bunch of names, after looking up internet i found that they are helpers and generate the HTML for us. Now, i wanted to look at the helper code for start_form_tag, so that based on that i could write some of my own helpers in my helper classes... but i could not find the code

This seems like it must have been asked before - I really _did_ try to find it in the archives, so my apologies if it''s already out there. Utilizing ActiveRecord, I would like to specify a prefix for the column names in my table. For example, in ''Recipe 16 Integrating with Legacy Databases'' (Rails Recipes, from PragProg, by Fowler) they deal with integration with a

I put the following code at the end of my index.rhtml: <%= form_tag :action => ''reverse'' %> <%= end_form_tag %> and I get the following code generated: <form method="post" action="/chapter3/reverse"/> </body> ... no </form> tag I''ve checked in ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper and the

What is the rails idiom for submit buttons on forms? All other field types have helpers, but button_to creates its own form, so should not be used. I''ve looked in "Agile Web Dev. with Rails" but can''t see what I should do instead. Is this "difficult" because it runs counter to AJAX type forms? And, related, is there a way to ensure that hitting return in

I am trying to subit some xml data over https to access an API. My code so far seems to generate a very non-helpful error in the guts of the net/http library. This code produces a NoMethodError for nil.strip" require ''net/http'' require ''net/https'' require ''uri'' url =

Hi, I know about pagination but dont want to use that option if it all possible. How in a collection of posts can i check if the there is a next item in the collection and then add that an object.

Hi, I would like to put a checkbox on a form where the input field is a variable rather than a field in a model. The normal way (with a model) would be: <%= check_box(''client'', ''accept'', {}, "1", "0") %> But since accept is a variable @accept and model client will not be there, how do I make a check box work? Regards, Paul

This is probably a dumb question, but is there an easy way to set the focus of a form to the first visible/editable element? I''ve been googling lots and searching documentation and haven''t come up with anything. Help would be appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I am mocking the following Rails view (inside a partial): <%= render :partial => "forums/forum", :collection => forum_category.forums.readable_by(current_user? ? current_user : nil) %> My spec fails with the following message: 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''forum_categories/index (anonymous user) should only render forums accessible to anonymous

I’ve been spending a great deal of time chasing this problem. Hopefully someone sees something obvious I’m doing wrong. Basically anytime I try to call fields_for from an RJS file or within a partial in the RJS file, I get the following error. My goal is simply to load a partial into a div. The fields in this partial require fields_for though. And that’s where the problem lies.

Hey guys, Does anyone have any wisdom to share on the subject of speccing Rails layouts? Most of it''s plain old view specs stuff, but are there sensible ways to verify things like the yield call? (Mocking doesn''t catch that) Thanks, Matt -- Matt Patterson | Design & Code <matt at reprocessed org> | http://www.reprocessed.org/

OK - I know this has been asked before, but I cannot find it in the archives. Forgive me if I''m creating more noise than I should. I want to know the easiest way to deal with this scenario: I have articles. I have categories for the articles. On the form where you write an article, there needs to be a free-form field to entire the category. The create() method will build the

Thank you to everybody that has helped me since I signed up. I''m flying along thanks to you. I have a question about the FormTagHelper "start_form_tag": I''ve been trying to figure out how to get Rails to output a "name" attribute for my form so I can hook in a Javascript to focus on a field inside of it on load, but it doesn''t look like I can do

seems pretty simple, my model... has_attached_file :pic_1, :styles => { :thumb => "120x90" }, :url => "/:attachment/:id_:style.:extension", :path => ":rails_root/public/system/:attachment/:id_:style.:extension" my view... <% form_tag(:action => ''create'', :html => { :multipart => true }) do -%> <label

I have a form which is predominantly a customer form (first name, last name, etc), if there is a form error and I render to the form from the controller the customer details are filled in correctly. The question I have is, I have some fields which are _tag fields not related to the customer model, how do I get them populated when I render back to the form on error? Cheers, Dan
