Here I have a requirement to use yield in a partial other than application.html.erb , when I try this in partial it was showing me the blank value and if I try the yield in application.html.erb it was showing the value.
application.html.erb
body>
<div id="main-container">
<%= content_for?(:page_header) ? yield(:page_header) : (render :partial => "/shared/home_header") %>
<div id="middle-container">
<%= yield %>
</div>
<div id="bottom-container">
<%= render "/shared/bottom_partial" %>
</div>
index.html.erb
<% content_for :page_header do %>
<%= render :partial => "/shared/employer_header" %>
<% end %>
<% content_for :page_name do %>
<p>My Account</p>
<% end %>
<div>
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
</div>
/shared/_employer_header.html.erb
<div class="heading" >
<%= yield(:page_name) %>
</div>
When I am trying like above I am getting blank value in yield :page_name in employer header if I try the yield :page name in application.html.erb I am getting the value.Can any one help me to sort this out.Thank'U'.
Swap the order of your two content_fors so the :page_name is defined before the partial is rendered.
index.html.erb
<% content_for :page_name do %>
<p>My Account</p>
<% end %>
<% content_for :page_header do %>
<%= render :partial => "/shared/employer_header" %>
<% end %>

I was wondering what the syntax is to link to an attribute on the same page
I have a list of dates
<ul>
<% #response.each_pair do |date, movie| %>
<li><%= link_to date_format(date), date, :class => 'scroll_to' %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
These then have movies underneath each date like so
<% #response.each_pair do |date, movie| %>
<h3 class="resultTitle fontSize13">Available on <%= date_format(date) %></h3>
<% movie.each do |m| %>
<div class="thumbnail clearfix">
<img class="pull-left" src=<% if m.image_link %> <%= m.image_link %> <% else %> "/assets/noimage.jpg" <% end %>>
<div class="caption pull-right">
<%= link_to m.name, m.title_id, :class => 'resultTitle fontSize11' %>
<p class="bio"><%= m.bio %></p>
<p class="resultTitle">Cast</p>
<p class="bio"><%= m.cast.join(", ") unless m.cast.empty? %></p>
<%= link_to "Remind me", reminders_path(:title_id => m.title_id), :method => :post, :class => 'links button' %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
What i would like to achieve is that when a user clicks on a date in the list then it will take them to that date with movies on the same page
My attribute for each date is
"release_date"
Do i need to link to that, maybe a piece of Jquery aswell to scroll down to that date? or would it jump to the date in one step?
Any advice appreciated, I have linked to other pages before but not the same page like this
EDIT
I have tried this but the page just re renders
<li><%= link_to date_format(date), params.merge(:release_date => 'release_date'), :class => 'scroll_to' %></li>
Am i on the right track?
Thanks
All you need is to give your date a unique identifier and link to that in you list. For instance below we give the h3 for each date an id relative to the date object. The browser knows how to handle internal links and will simply jump to the corresponding identifier. Notice how the id of the field you're linking to gets appended to the end of the url when you click on the link.
<ul>
<%- index = 0 %>
<% #response.each_pair do |date, movie| %>
<%- index += 1 %>
<li><%= link_to date_format(date), "##{index}", :class => 'scroll_to' %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
<%- index = 0 %>
<% #response.each_pair do |date, movie| %>
<%- index += 1 %>
<h3 class="resultTitle fontSize13" id="<%= index %>">Available on <%= date_format(date) %></h3>
<% movie.each do |m| %>
<div class="thumbnail clearfix">
<img class="pull-left" src=<% if m.image_link %> <%= m.image_link %> <% else %> "/assets/noimage.jpg" <% end %>>
<div class="caption pull-right">
<%= link_to m.name, m.title_id, :class => 'resultTitle fontSize11' %>
<p class="bio"><%= m.bio %></p>
<p class="resultTitle">Cast</p>
<p class="bio"><%= m.cast.join(", ") unless m.cast.empty? %></p>
<%= link_to "Remind me", reminders_path(:title_id => m.title_id), :method => :post, :class => 'links button' %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
For the added JQuery transition you can replace
<li><%= link_to date_format(date), "##{index}", :class => 'scroll_to' %></li>
with
<li><%= link_to_function date_format(date), "$('html, body').animate({scrollTop:$('##{index}').offset().top }, 'slow');", :class => 'scroll_to'%></li>
The above isn't exactly a DRY approach, but the important thing to abstract out of that is that you're linking to a unique ID elsewhere on the page and not the code itself.
I am a beginner working on a RoR app that allows users to update their resume with experiences and education. I have two models for these different items and would like to display them together in chronological order. I want to know how to set this up in my profile controller and view.
I'd like to adopt this same practice to a separate part of the app that will combine post and discussion items from users in the same way. However, currently, my focus is on the experience and education portion.
profiles/show.html.erb:
<% if #experiences.any? or #educations.any? %>
<div class="postExpOuter">
<% #experiences.each do |experience| %>
<div class="postExp">
<div>
<h2><%= experience.position %></h2>
<h3><%= experience.company %> | <%= experience.location %></h3>
<h4>
<%= experience.start_month %> <%= experience.start_year %>
<% if experience.end_year %>
<%= " - " + experience.end_month %> <%= experience.end_year %>
<% else %>
<span> - Present</span>
<% end %>
</h4>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<% #educations.each do |education| %>
<div class="postExp">
<div>
<h2><%= education.degree %></h2>
<h3><%= education.school %></h3>
<h4>
<% if education.end_year %>
<span>Class of </span><%= education.end_year %>
<% else %>
<%= education.start_year %><span> - Present</span>
<% end %>
</h4>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
<% end %>
just hacked in my browser, don't know if it works directly:
<%- (#experiences.to_a + #educations.to_a).sort_by(&:end_year).each do |item| -%>
<%- if item.is_a? Experience -%>
your markup here...
<%- else -%>
your other markup here...
<%- end -%>
<%- end -%>
haven't written ERB since... uhh, long. basically it's just the following: merge the 2 ActiveRecord-Relations as Arrays into one big Array, sort them by the timestamp you want (you may add .reverse at the end if you want). While iterating through the list, check the type of object you have.
Hope this helps.
profiles_controller.rb:
class ProfilesController < ApplicationController
def show
#user = User.find_by_profile_name(params[:id])
if #user
#posts = #user.posts.all(:order => "created_at DESC", :limit => 3)
#experiences = #user.experiences.all(:order => "start_year DESC")
#educations = #user.educations.all(:order => "start_year DESC")
#items = (#experiences.to_a + #educations.to_a).sort_by(&:start_year).reverse[0,3]
render action: :show
else
render file: 'public/404', status: 404, formats: [:html]
end
end
end
profiles/show.html.erb:
<% if #items.any? %>
<div class="postExpOuter">
<% #items.each do |item| %>
<% if item.is_a? Experience %>
<div class="postExp">
<div>
<h2><%= item.position %></h2>
<h3><%= item.company %> | <%= item.location %></h3>
<h4>
<%= item.start_month %> <%= item.start_year %>
<% if item.end_year %>
<%= " - " + item.end_month %> <%= item.end_year %>
<% else %>
<span> - Present</span>
<% end %>
</h4>
</div>
</div>
<%- else -%>
<div class="postExp">
<div>
<h2><%= item.degree %></h2>
<h3><%= item.school %></h3>
<h4>
<% if item.end_year %>
<span>Class of </span><%= item.end_year %>
<% else %>
<%= item.start_year %><span> - Present</span>
<% end %>
</h4>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
</div>
<% end %>
<%= render :layout => "some_layout" do %>
<p>Some stuff</p>
<% end %>
In "some_layout"
<%= yield %>
Is there a way to detect if the yield block has any content? Example:
<% if block_has_content? %>
<%= yield %>
<% else %>
<p>Default content</p>
<% end %>
I think you should have a look to this documentation:
http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/CaptureHelper/content_for
You can define somewhere:
<% content_for :some_layout do %>
some content
<% end %>
And in an other part of your code:
<%= content_for(:some_layout) || 'Default content' %>
If content for :some_layout is not defined, it will take the default one.
Here is the users show view where they are supposed to show up. ..
edit (I have updated this post slightly you can see it at RoR: How can I get my microposts to show up?)
<section>
<div id= "purchases">
<%= render 'shared/micropost_form_purchase' %>
</div>
<div id="sales">
<%= render 'shared/micropost_form_sale' %>
</div>
</section>
<div id="purchases list">
<ol class="microposts">
<%= render #purchases unless #purchases.nil? %>
</ol>
</div>
<div id="sales list">
<ol class="microposts">
<%= render #sales unless #sales.nil? %>
</ol>
</div>
so the forms (partials) are loading fine, but then when I make a post, in either one, neither the purchases list nor the sales list shows up. I checked the database and they are being created along with an entry in the column indicating kind (either sale or purchase)
Here are the forms:
<%= form_for (#micropost) do |f| %>
<div class="field no-indent">
<%= f.text_area :content, placeholder: "What's something else you want to buy?" %>
<%= hidden_field_tag 'micropost[kind]', "purchase" %>
</div>
<%= f.submit "Post", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
and
<%= form_for (#micropost) do |f| %>
<div class="field no-indent">
<%= f.text_area :content, placeholder: "What's something else you want to buy?" %>
<%= hidden_field_tag 'micropost[kind]', "sale" %>
</div>
<%= f.submit "Post", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
also, here is the show part of the users_controller.rb
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#micropost=Micropost.new
#microposts = #user.microposts.paginate(page: params[:page])
end
and here is the show part of the microposts_controller.rb
def show
#micropost = Micropost.find(params[:id])
#microposts = Micropost.where(:user_id => #user.id)
#purchases = #microposts.where(:kind => "purchase")
#sales = #microposts.where(:kind => "sale")
end
can anyone help me out? anything else i need? hmmm
First, just to be sure you are getting the results you want, you should try something like this in your view
<%= #sales %>
This should be a hash of the results you want. Then, if that looks good, you want to do something like this
<div id="sales_list">
<ol class="microposts">
<% if #sales.any? %>
<% #sales.each do |sale| %>
<li><%= sale %></li>
<% end %>
<% end %>
</ol>
</div>
And repeat for purchases
I have a partial that contains a header, a subheader and potentially one or more buttons. It is used on many different pages. Often the pages don't need buttons, so I just pass in the header and an optional subheader to the partial. However sometimes the pages need one or more buttons and the only way I've managed to allow for an arbitrary number of buttons to be passed in is using content_for. My partial looks like this:
<% if defined? page_title %>
<header class="pageHeader">
<div class="page-details">
<h3><%= page_title %></h3>
<% if defined? page_subtitle %>
<p><%= page_subtitle %></p>
<% end %>
</div>
<ul class="crud-menu nav-pills">
<%= content_for :page_header_buttons %>
</ul>
</header>
<% end %>
This use of content_for nasty. Is there any way I can pass the list items / buttons into this partial? How else could I deal with this situation?
You could transform this partial into a layout:
<% if defined? page_title %>
<header class="pageHeader">
<div class="page-details">
<h3><%= page_title %></h3>
<% if defined? page_subtitle %>
<p><%= page_subtitle %></p>
<% end %>
</div>
<ul class="crud-menu nav-pills">
<%= yield %>
</ul>
</header>
<% end %>
And you would render it like that:
<%= render layout: "your_partial_above", locals: { page_title: "page title } do %>
<%= render "partial_with_your_buttons" %>
<% end %>
