I''m trying to create an inputfield for every object in the array, but I''m not getting it right... example: class ClassA @arrayB[] end HTML (code with error): <% 0.upto(9) do |index| %> <%= text_field ''ClassA'', ''arrayB[index]'' %> non

Hello, I just can''t seem to find a way to extend a form dynamically in ROR. Say I am writing a recipe website. There is one form to enter the recipe. There is room for N number of ingredients (let''s say a text field for each ingredient name and selection list for the amount). What if the user wants to add more than N ingredients as he types them in? how do I do this without

Hello, I''m trying to create a form that will allow a user to submit a list of phone numbers, but the list is dynamically created. Thus allowing my form to submit an unknown number of phone numbers. Here is some of the code I have been trying: <%= collection_select( "phone[]", "phone_type_id", PhoneType.find(:all, :order => "position"),

Hi, I am trying to create a basic form in which I want one of the fields initialized before displaying it. My code (in a view) is as follows: <% if ( session[:user_id] != nil ) then logged_in_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end %> <% form_for :suggestion do |form| %> <label for="suggestion_title">Topic:</label><br/> <%=

Hi all I''m new to rails an i''m trying to build a step by step form / process to gather data. For example: form one: User enters a 8 digit number the submit button points to form 2. form two: the 8 digit number from form one becomes a hidden field in form 2. The problem I have is that the entire hash from form 1 is showing up in form two rather than just the input data.

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

Hi, I have a question today regarding how the various form elements in _form.rhtml are named. I understand that for a database table "persons" with a column headed by "name", then in _form.rhtml it will probably be like: <p><label for="person_name">Name><br/> <%= text_field ''person'', ''name''

Hi, is there a way to keep the already entered form fields when the form is re-displayed after some error has been detected and reported to the user via flash? Regards IJD -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have an HTML form on the screen, that is connected to a database (standard Ruby way). I found that there are people that would rather not fill in this information, but would rather search Amazon for the info. Therefore, I added a link to the right of one of the fields that, when pressed, will search Amazon for what ever you typed into that field. So, how can I do that? At first I tried

Warning: I am as green as #00FF00 with rails :-) I have an rhtml view that shows a survey: /views/survey/show.rhtml. I have a Survey model, helper and controller. I''m using the acts_as_commentable plugin to collect comments, and trying to save user comments from users who have taken a survey (don''t ask -- it''s just a test). To save the comment, I need the id of the

Hi all, I cannot find a clean way to create/edit an object that ''belongs_to'' another one, just by using form fields. I always need to explicitely unassemble it, store the master id in a hidden field, and then refetch the master from its id, and put it back in the object. To summarize: I want to create a new member, for a given project @project= ... @member =

Hi, This is my rHtml page & Corresponding actions & model pages:- ===listform.rHtml================= <h1>Products List</h1> <%= start_form_tag(:action => "add_to_cart")%> <table> <tr> <% i=0 %> <th> Product No. </th> <th> Unit Price </th> <th> Available Qty. </th> <th> Demand Qty. </th>

My Alert object has_many Links. I''ve got the whole system setup where, once I have the Alert object created, I can use a nice form_remote to show the user all the Links currently attached, and add more. But the form itself starts out with 0 links. What I''d like to do now is construct the form with a couple of default "Place link here" objects in the array, and

Hi Friends , Got a unique requirement .I am designing a invoice printing system .So right now I have the NEW page for adding the invoice details to the table .Now I have the requirement of adding Invoice Items In the same form .I have added multiple text boxes to enter the values of the Items using <%= text_field ''invoiceitems[]'', ''item_price''

Hi list, is it possible to check if form field will be required when form is submitted (through validates_presence_of or some other validates_* method)? I could do this manually but it doesn''t seems to me very DRY. For example, I would like to be able to dynamically add asterisk with some helper method if city is required here: City*: <%= text_field

Please can someone show me the correct syntax for a hidden field in forms, this is my code <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create'' %> <div class="form1"> <table width="auto" boader="8" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5"> <% hidden_field ''line_item'', ''client_id'', :value

Hey all, I''m storing an array of timestamps in a field in my database as an array. When the items get saved, however, some minus signs are appended to the text: sample output: --- - 1151971200 - 1152576000 - 1153180800 - 1153785600 - 1154390400 Is this normal behavior? When I retrive the value out of the database and .to_a, the three minus signs (---) are counted as the first

Hello, Most of the form helpers are build using Object / Method without the possibility of using a method parameter (as I know ...) text_field(object_name, method, options = {}) how do you solve this problem ? -> (I did my own helper and generate the html ... well I think there is a better way;-) -> do I have to overide text_field(object_name, method, parameters {}, options = {})

Hi all All my forms should look the same, so I think always putting the right div etc. tags around them is a violation of the DRY principle. Until now my forms look like that: <div class="text_field"> <label for="news_item_subject">Subject:</label> <%= text_field "news_item", "subject" %> </div> Now I want the default

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the
