similar to: breaking down a list view

I am trying to allow for AND type ''find'' but to allow for simply a single set of find criteria. controller code... @vw_string = @vw_string1 = @vw_string2 = @vw_string3 = [] if params[:beg_intake_date] != "" then @vw_string1 = ["intake_date between ? and ?", params[:beg_intake_date], params[:end_intake_date] ] end if

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 know my thinking is sloppy. I want to know how many clients currently in my facility are male... My facilities_controller.rb def list_fac @placement_pages, @placements = paginate( :placements, :conditions => ["placements.facility_id = ?", params[:facility_id] ], :include => [:facility, :client], :order_by => ''facilities.name,

I abandoned ruby way for find_by_sql and still can''t get this... @myplacement = Placement.find_by_sql( "select * from placement where :intake_date >= beg_intake_date and :intake_date <= end_intake_date") just a simple date range...it''s killing me - If I knew how to load placement controller into irb, I could probably try out finds interactive mode... Thanks

I''m trying to create a paginated list that will take note of the "end_date" field in my table. This is what I have: @post_pages, @posts = paginate(:posts, :per_page => 10, :order_by => ''end_date'') in the controller. And for the view: <h1>Posts ending soon</h1> <ul><% for post in @posts do %> <strong>Post Title:

Hi Guys, I am trying to paginate the results from a search. When I use actual constants in the search conditions, it works fine: def query @k2_result_pages, @k2_results = paginate (:k2_results, :conditions => [''e_date >= ? AND e_date <= ?'', ''2006-07-12'', ''2006-08-12''],

Hey all, I''m using a simple search function. It''s working great except for foreign keys. I have one table pets (id,name,owner_id) and another table people(id,name) owner_id being a foreign key of pet pointing to people name. here it is on the pet controller: @paginator, @pets= paginate(:pets, :conditions =>["name OR owner_id like

Ahoy, I checked the API and did some forum searches but didn''t find anything good on table sorting. Is there a "railish" way to do this? My current method really is lacking (i''m on like rails day 2) <th><%= link_to ''Name'', :action => ''list'', :order => ''name'' %></th>

Hi there, Is there a neat and easy way to implement pagination with letters rather than numbers eg : A B C D ... Z Rob

I am trying to use pagination with the order option. I am following examples I''ve seen all over the web, but I am getting an error. My code seems simple: def list @upload_pages, @uploads = paginate :uploads, :per_page => 20, :order => ''id'' end Yet I keep getting this error: ___________________________________________

Hello, With default pagination I have this : <a href="/users/infos/3?page=1">1</a> <a href="/users/infos/3?page=3">3</a> but i need this : <a href="/users/infos/1">1</a> <a href="/users/infos/3">3</a> I need to remove the "?page=" parameters and rewrite a little the link ( with a link_to ? )

Hi all, Best wishes for the new year! :'') I''m very new to Ruby and Rails, and I ran into a problem with the "paginate" function. When I use the following method to get a number of forum topics based on a category name passed via the URI: @topic_pages, @topics = paginate :topics, :joins => "INNER JOIN categories ON

i''ve figured out how to use the next and previous links with the paginator class but now i''m trying to figure out how to display all the page numbers in between. looking through the rails api, i found paginator.each() but i''m not sure how to use it, or if that''s even what i am looking for. also, is there a way to limit the amount of pages like some sites

Hi! I''m looking for a good tutorial that explains the main points of performing queries with Rails. I do have AWDWR and have read the section on ''find'' but I''m looking for something that goes into more detail on how to perform queries across tables. Abstracted from my current application, this is an example: * person has_many sites * site has_one room *

Hi, I am trying to implement a few queries now. What are good ways to do this? Right now, I have a list page that does sorting and can carry out a generic pagination request. @user_result_pages, @user_results = paginate(:user_results, :per_page => 20, :conditions => @condition, :order_by => @sort_order) I create @sort_order earlier in the list function. The problem I am having is

I can pull columns from clients table in this view by using... <%= @placement.client.wholename %> but if I use <% @placement.case_manager.wholename %>

Hi! It''s rather ruby question than rails... I have a single ''list'' action where i call paginate method. I can receive none, 1 or 2 variables that specify conditions for paginate method. How to write the code so i can call paginate without conditions if all conditions variable are nil, with a single condition if one of conditions variables is not empty and with 2 if

Hi all, Is there a way to create pagination with a complex SQL, more complex than the :conditions option will support? I have two databases, houses and images. Houses has_many images, and each Image belongs_to house. I''m creating a search engine for the house records and I''d like to be able to filter out all the houses without any associated images. So far I''m
