similar to: undefined method and auto_complete

I''ve asked this in various ways but I can''t seem to get much traction - my guess is because not many people are doing this. I am working in a controller/views called placements. Placements belongs_to :client I have a clients model/table - clients has_many :placements in placements/find...this works fine... <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :placement, :clwholename, {} %>

Trying to use Amy Hoy''s ajaxariffic auto_complete methodology and I am getting really close to the end. This is fairly complicated but I will simplify as best I can. My view code is simple... <%= text_field_with_auto_complete ''client'', ''wholename'' %> # wholename is not a column in ''clients'' but rather represents an

I have the text_field_with_auto_complete woking on my user DB using last_name. so looking for ''ivanoff'' works great, but I can''t find ''john''. Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

I have a number of models that use an aggregation to combine First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name and they have been working fine. I am looking to clean this up, DRY it if possible. I have things like this in application.rb class Clwholename attr_reader :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name def initialize(first_name, middle_initial, last_name) @first_name = first_name

This may not be possible... I have an aggregation of clwholename defined in my model. the aggregation builds clwholename from :first_name, middle_initial, last_name and it generally works fine. I am trying to add a validation so while there may be many ''John'' first_names, and ''Doe'' last_names, I only want one ''John Doe'' so I tried...

I''m doing this ''partial'' to do some ajax auto_complete <ul class="placements"> <% for client in @clients do -%> <li class="placements"> <div class="clwholename"><%=h client.clwholename %></div> <div class="id><span class="informal"><%= client.id

I am trying to get more out of auto_complete than it apparently was designed to deliver. My problems seem to be two fold. 1 - I use aggregations on names... :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name and then aggregate them using a composed_of :wholename thing auto_complete_for seems to be wired to only use table columns directly and gags on the aggregate form. 2 - foreign table columns -

Hi, Have an issue with the rails auto complete, it works fine but I don''t know how to find the id element search in the textfield. Here is what I''ve done: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :user, :ville_name, { :size => 15 }, { :url => formatted_villes_path(:js), :method => :get, :param_name => ''search'' } %> Model: class User <

Trying to use Eric''s help and Amy Hoy''s page of playing with auto_complete and decided that the script/console is the place to rapidly test. I have this feeling that CONCAT isn''t working for postgresql... c = find_by_sql(SELECT * FROM clients WHERE CONCAT (first_name,middle_initial,last_name) = "johnadams") ^ (irb):61:

I think I may have found a bug with the auto_complete feature in rails: My controller has a before_filter with an except clause preventing the filter from running on a specific action. The action renders a view with a text_field_with_auto_complete field. Much to my suprise, the filter appears to run when I type data into this field! The filter is part of my security regime, so I end up with a

I''m using the auto_complete plugin, and it works great, my problem is i need to pass multiple parameters to the controller other that what is typed in the text field. <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :search, :contains, :size => 15, :frequency => 0.1, :skip_style => true -%> This is what i have as of now, but i also need to pass ":language => @default"

Dear all: I got the error in my rails 2.2.2 project on ma os x leopard. i did as follow: script/plugin install auto_complete but when i start the server and try to approach the page which used the auto_complete, it can''t find the helper method as the error told: "undefined method `text_field_with_auto_complete'' ", than i try this in script/console helper.methods i

This may be more of an Ajax question than a Rails question, but I''m pretty new to Rails and know approximately zero JS. I''d love if someone could give me a little direction. I''m using pat shaughnessy''s nested text_field_with_auto_complete plugin, and it seems to be *mostly* working properly (after many hours of fiddling). However, the drop-down box is not

Hello everybody, I am new to ruby on rails, I am trying to create an auto_complete field on Ruby on Rails 2.0 and even though I have installed the auto_complete plugin and followed the instructions of various tutorials, specially the following: http://trix.pl/blog/auto-complete-for-rails-2-0-tutorial.html I am still getting the same error: undefined method

Hi Guys, Am building an app in rails1.2.1 and wanted to use the auto_complete.

All of the tutorials and the Agile book use MySQL and I''ve got that working. I am now trying to use PostgreSQL and can''t seem to get going. Is my problem the db setup in postgresql? I have installed postgres-pr The error message when I try to access http://localhost:3000/clients when using PostgreSQL (MySQL works fine) ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (RuntimeError: ERROR

I''m using the acts_as_taggable gem (who''s site has gone AWOL apparently) and I''m wanting to make it autocomplete. I, however, am the absolute worst JavaScript person ever, so is there anyone out there that can point me to a tutorial or give some good starting points? Thanks!

Folks, I am trying to upgrade code base from 1.3.x to 2.3.2 and not surprisingly, lot of things are broken. ''text_field_with_auto_complete'' is not working for me - it gives the following error: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `text_field_with_auto_complete'' for #<ActionView::Base: 0x7f0ceb6b8290>) I already have installed auto_complete - ruby

I need to pass a parameter in my text_field_with_auto_complete and am struggling to discover how to do this. I have something like this: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete ''user'', ''username'', {}, {:with => "''post=''@company_title.id"} %> but because it is in a partial that pops as a result from a remote_function_tag, I am

I am sitting with the Agile book on my desk and scratching my head at the discussion on aggregation - perhaps that isn''t what I need. I have a db called clients. fields include - first_name middle_initial last_name I want to combine them all into one name element in a list view. I can add/edit the fields separately but in the list view, I only want the one combo field. Is there a
