similar to: Using <%= text_field %> within partials is problematic

All, I''m populating a view with checkboxes in a list. I want to be able to assign to my has_many relationship using the post values of these checkboxes. Essentially, I want to populate the relationship table which will create the correct join values in my model. Here is my check_box_tag code: <%= check_box_tag("@current_job[target_list_ids][]",

All, I did a scaffold for a model and I ended up with this code in list.rhtml: <% for column in TargetList.content_columns %> <td><%=h target_list.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> Where is the "send" method and what does it do? I can''t find it on ActiveRecord::Base? I assume that it returns a value based on the column id but I

All, In a template, I have <%= text_field :target_list, :DateReceived, { :title => ''uploaded_at'', :class => ''target_list_info'', :disabled => ''true'' } %> Here is the DateReceived method on my

I am trying to put some smarts around a call to <%= error_messages_for %> so that when I first come into this page i.e. when my instance variable @target_list has not been defined yet, the page doesn''t break. I''m doing this: <% if @target_list? %> <%= error_messages_for ''target_list'' %> <% end %> I get a syntax error on line 1.

I just took my HABTM and turned it into a :through since my join table has another "non-joiny" attribute. I went from this: has_many_and_belongs_to :jobs, :join_table => ''tablename'', :foreign_key => ''x'', :association_foreign_key => ''y'' to this: has_many :jobs, :through =>

All, I have two ActiveRecord objects. TargetList has_many Targets Targets belongs_to TargetList I''ve specified belongs_to :target_list, :foreign_key => ''DataSetID'' Queries generated by various methods in target_list do not seem to see the foreign_key name and keep trying to query my Target table using "target_list_id" (the default foreign

All, I''m having a hell of a time figuring out what is going on here. I''m trying to override one of my getters so that I can format it a certain way in my form. But I can''t seem to get text_field to call the appropriate method on my object. So here''s my getter: public def FAX fax = read_attribute(:FAX) puts fax

All, I''ve decided to jump into Migrations before I get too far along on the DB side of things. I already have some tables built, and I went ahead and built the migration that would have created them from scratch, and I made sure that there was a self.down section to drop them. I wanted to verify that I could roll back so I figured I would use rake to drop these pre-existing tables

All, I have a form with the following field interaction rules. Given checkbox A, text field B text field C If checkbox A is checked then make text field C equal to the value of text field B and disable field C. If checkbox A is unchecked then enable field C. In order to display a form where I''m manipulating an already existing object, I have something like this in my RHTML template

I had a situation where I wanted to use a <%= %> (scriptlet) in my text_field call to set the "disabled" attribute on the text field, like so: <%= text_field(:current_job, ''removeLinkPos'', :value => '''', :id => ''offset'', :maxlength => 2, :disabled => <%= sometest ? ''true'' :

All, After a POST, I want to be able to redisplay a view with the data that was previously entered when my controller action notices a validation failure and calls render on the view that does the submit. Example: View x.rhtml - text field is filled in Call controller action Controller action fails validation calls render (:action => ''x'') x.rthml shows up with blank text

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

Can you set a global before_filter action in application.rb? So, for example, you could control authentication for all of the controllers in an app.? Obviously, you would need a way to reference actions by controller within this "global before-filter". Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, I''m starting to see view state information creeping into my model class. For example, I have text fields in my view that need to be set a certain way depending on whether or not a checkbox is checked. And while the values of these text fields ultimately do represent database columns that are related to the backing AR object, the text_field values also represent attributes on a

I have a global layout in application.rhtml and I''d like to render a partial template within it. Currently, I have this: <%= render (:partial => ''side_nav'') %> but it seems to be looking in the controller specific view directory. What is the best way to do handle controller - global partial rendering? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, Trying to clear up some confusion on my part. If I make an Ajax call using Ajax.Request and in the controller method that I call, I do a render (:partial => ''whatever.rhtml''), should I expect that ''whatever.rhtml'' will be rendered in the browser or not? Put another way, is it in any way reasonable for me to think that Ajax.Request + partial render

I have a side navigation bar with links embedded in it like the following: <%= link_to( ''Create Job'', { :controller => ''eSimply'', :action => ''upload'' }) %> This link now shows a routing exception Recognition failed for "/eSimply/upload" This link has worked for over through Rails

Since I can''t get the fancy upload progress thing to work, I thought that I would revert back to a regular file upload scenario. I have a very simple file upload form set up. It appears that my file parameter is coming into the controller as a string, not a file object. Here''s my view: <%= form_tag :action => ''save_HTML'', :multipart

All, I would like to test some secure pages that I''m developing in my WEBrick-based development environment. I''ve done some research and it appears that I need to create a new command that will start a HTTPS based WEBrick server. Is this correct? Also, it appears that the https.rb module is not included with the WEBrick bundled in Rails. So, I will need to go get that

All, I want to run automated unit tests as part of my build. I am building to my test environment. Upon successful completion of all of my unit tests, I would then like to load some data (using a fixture, I imagine) into my test database that will act as fresh "system test" data for my users to play with. What is the best way to "load the standard system test/user acceptance
