similar to: autocomplete using other models

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''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

pulling my hair out on this because I don''t understand... I have 2 methods/actions in the same ''placements'' controller that I am concerned with... find, works properly... view code from find.rhtml <td><p><label>Client</label><br/> <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :placement, :clwholename, {} %> </p> </td>

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 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...

When I upgraded to 1.0, I broke autocomplete on a field. I''ve done everything that I can think of to fix the problem, but nothing has worked. I''m able to recreate a simple autocomplete from examples on the various tutorials, but my original code just will not work. <input id="incident_first_party_name" name="incident[first_party_name]"

Hi all, I''m looking for some insight on why my text_field_with_auto_complete might not work in Internet Explorer. I''m using it in a fairly simple way, without much customization. I''ve broken it down and made a test page at http://realty.colemanation.org/houses/test which shows the behavior I''m having problems with. For me on Windows XP this page works

Hi, I am using the autocomplete for text field with ''Scriptaculous'' and it works perfectly fine in "new" action. All the examples I see are only for the "new" action. But doesn''t default to the selected value/text in "edit/show" action? Is this possible or should I write custom code for "edit/show" action? Thanks, Hari --

Hi, I''m trying to get autocomplete to work but have been having some problems. It seems that Ajax.Autocompleter(...) is not getting called. I''ve put in a alert in control.js: Autocompleter.Local = Class.create(); Autocompleter.Local.prototype = Object.extend(new Autocompleter.Base(), { initialize: function(element, update, array, options) { window.alert("GOT

can''t seem to find the right syntax for this... /script/../config/../app/controllers/placements_controller.rb:155: syntax error :conditions => [["placements.client_id = ?", params[:client_id] ] and "placements.discharge_date IS NOT NULL" ], this part works... :conditions => ["placements.client_id = ?", params[:client_id] ] this is what I

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 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
