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 =>

placement.rb has_one :client has_one :case_manager client.rb belongs_to :case_manager has_many :placements case_manager.rb has_many :clients has_many :placements I am trying to create a view file for placements. I can pull columns from clients table in this view by using... <%= @placement.client.wholename %> but if I use <% @placement.case_manager.wholename %>

I have a form that prints fine for one particular criteria... facility_id = "X" controller code looks like this... def fac_log @facility = Facility.find(params[:report][:facility_id]) @placement = Placement.find(:all, :conditions => [ "facility_id = ? and discharge_date IS NULL, params[:report][:facility_id] ] ) end I can print out the form

I want to use select form elements to choose between boolean options. How can I have it default to true and still display the persisted value (either true or false) when editing an existing object? I guess booleans default to false by default so its not obvious how to recognize when it''s a real ''false'' that the user set or default false because the value was null.

I''m trying to figure out how to change the order of a list view and it''s obvious to me that I don''t understand what I get from a simple scaffold to know enough to alter it. If someone would be so kind to tell me what this means ... def list @placment_pages, @placements = paginate :placements, :per_page => 10 end @placement_pages, # I am guessing that this

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

I have a list view and have it sorting the data presented in the list view by clicking on the top of the column - that works fine. Now, I want to add a pop up-list which controls 3 different levels of record select to be presented in this list... - ALL - placement.discharge_date IS NULL - placement.discharge_date IS NOT NULL I can have 3 different ''methods'' and

Hello all. I have a problem with collapsing by a key in a compound database. I have 2 databases (e.g. clients and client branches), both of them have the same attribute (with the same valueno), `client_id'. What I need is to search in both these databases and collapse results by `client_id' to get client IDs (set_collapse_key is used with collapse_max=1). The problem is that I receive 2

I am confused. Looking at ''list'' from scaffold, I see a record and click the ''show'' button. I put in a ''link'' at the bottom of ''show.rhtml'' to my ''view'' rfn2.rhtml - action = ''rfn2'', :id = @placement I click this link and get error... log/development.log Processing

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, {} %>

I would swear that I am tracking exactly the method used in Agile book... TypeError in Placements#edit Showing app/views/placements/_form.rhtml where line #33 raised: wrong argument type String (expected Module) Extracted source (around line #33): 30: <tr> 31: <td><label for "type">Type</label></br><%= 32: options = [["Select

Have 2 tables - clients & case_managers class Client < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :case_manager end app/views/clients/_form.html contains line... <p><% collection_select("client", "case_manager_id", \ case_manager.find_all, "name", "id") %></p> and this line generates error... undefined local variable or method

have placements, clients and case_managers tables with relationships Trying to create new placement record...case_manager_id field exists in clients table. I need the value from related clients record in placements table in placements_controller.rb def create @placement = Placment.new(params[:placement]) case_manager_id = Client.case_manager_id # this doesn''t work if

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

probably something really simple but I don''t understand. Shifting to Apache to w/ fastcgi (definitely feels faster than webrick) Anyway, I set the default route in routes.rb to be map.connect '''', :controller => "placements", :action => ''list'' which worked once I figured out apache... Anyway, now that I have done that, all attempts

following AWDWR book - ''Partials and Collections'' (rather sparse info there too) and I might add that the wiki page on this topic is entirely devoid of any info...be that as it may... I have hash of several arrays that I want to iterate though and display. the first hashed element looks like this (greatly simplified) - :facility: !ruby/object:Facility attributes:

I installed at least one gem since I thought I actually once was able to run ''rake appdoc'' command since there is an api for my models and the ez_where plugin that I installed earlier. I wanted to see the api for pdf-writer which is the gem that I installed most recently. (no, I haven''t given up the issue of ''looping'' that Kevin and some others replied

I am playing around with this and reference this wiki from RonR site... http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/CalendarHelper The error I am getting is: NameError in Placements#list undefined local variable or method `date_format'' for #<PlacementsController:0xb78f9ef4> RAILS_ROOT: script/../config/..

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
