I need to set up two languages for a single form using internationalization.
This is the proposed form page
<%= semantic_form_for #detail do |f| %>
<%= f.inputs do %>
<%= f.input :name %>
<%= f.input :dob %>
<%= f.input :gender, :as => :radio, :label => "Gender", :collection => [["Male", 'male'], ["Female", 'female']] %>
<% end %>
<%= f.actions do %>
<%= f.action :submit, :as => :input %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
This is wk.yml file
wk:
formtastic:
labels:
detail:
dob: "Data of birtha"
name: "Youre Nama"
gender: "Gendera""
This is en.yml file
en:
formtastic:
labels:
detail:
dob: "Date of Birth"
name: "Your Name"
gender: "gender"
I have added Formtastic::SemanticFormBuilder.i18n_lookups_by_default = true in formtastic.rb initializer.
I was successful in using en.yml.
I need to switch from 'en' to 'wk' and vise-verse.
How to achieve it via drop down box?
That's not something related to formstatic, but rather to your rails code.
All you have to do in order to switch to wk is
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html
I18n.locale = :wk
In order to let your client to choose his language for the website, probably a good place to start is on this link: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html
If all you want is to update the form (and not the rest of the website) in different languages on a user action, like selecting the language from a select box, you can use an ajax listener on the select box, that could require something like "http://www.yourwebsite.com/:locale/form/new" which will answer with an ajax action and will replace your form with the selected language (so on :locale you will pass the value of your select box for the language).

I have a simple rails search form that will select rank on a column in which 3 different ranks in a table. But I cannot extend plural ranks.
Table Food: value1, rank_value1, value2, rank_value2, value3, rank_value3
View /foods/index.html:
<%= form_tag foods_path, :method => 'get' do %>
<p>
rank_value1
<%= text_field_tag :rvalue1, params[:rvalue1] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
</p>
<% end %>
Model food.rb:
def self.search(search)
if search
Food.where(["rank_value1= ?", "#{search}"])
else
Food.all
end
end
Controller foods_controller.rb:
def index
#foods = Food.search(params[:rvalue1])
end
To extend two ranks, I tried codes below but it did not work.
View /foods/index.html:
<%= form_tag foods_path, :method => 'get' do %>
<p>
rank_value1
<%= text_field_tag :rvalue1, params[:rvalue1] %>
<%= text_field_tag :rvalue2, params[:rvalue2] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
</p>
<% end %>
Model food.rb:
def self.search(search1,search2)
if search
Food.where(["rank_value1= ? and rank_value2=?", "#{search1}", "# {search2}"])
else
Food.all
end
end
Controller foods_controller.rb:
def index
#foods = Food.search(params[:rvalue1], params[:rvalue2])
end
Any suggestions as to search with data in multiple columns?
Hey for searching with multiple values you can use Ransack gem. Here you can see the video tutorial and github link for implementation.

Hope you are looking for this only.
I'm trying to render this form:
<form class="form-inline">
<%= simple_form_for #prospect,
:url => url_for(:action => 'create', :controller => 'prospects'),
:method => 'post' do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= f.input :name, placeholder: 'Name', label: false %>
<%= f.input :email, placeholder: 'Email', label: false %>
<%= f.input :interests, placeholder: 'Tell us what you were searching for', label: false, value: params[:search] %>
<%= f.error :base %>
<%= f.button :submit, "Submit", :class=> "btn" %>
<% end %>
Using this partial:
<%= render partial: 'prospects/novideo_capture' %>
The partial is in a view controlled by Videos#index controller, and I keep getting this error: 'undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class'
This is my prospects controller:
class ProspectsController < ApplicationController
def index
#prospects = Prospect.all
end
def new
#prospect = Prospect.new
end
def create
#prospect = Prospect.new(params[:prospect])
if #prospect.save
render "thanks_for_interest"
else
render "novideo_capture"
end
end
I'm not sure what I'm going wrong, although I'm pretty sure it's a simple solution. I've seen a lot of similar questions around SO and tried all their answers, but none of them seem to work for this situation.
Thanks for any help...
EDIT: Adding
#prospect = Prospect.new
to the videos index controller stops the error occurring, but I don't feel it's the right way to do this. It also doesn't actually make the form use the prospects controller.
EDIT2: I now have the partial rendering correctly (I think), and my videos#index calls the partial like this:
<%= render partial: 'prospects/novideo_capture', :prospect => #prospect %>
Then simple_form in the partial looks like this:
<form class="form-inline">
<%= simple_form_for :prospect,
:url => url_for(:action => 'create', :controller => 'prospects'),
:method => 'post' do |f| %>
...
<% end %>
However it's not actually submitting the form with the prospects controller. Any ideas why?
Check your markup. You're wrapping a simple_form inside another form. Since the first form tag has no action associated with it (<form class="form-inline">), that form will submit against the current URL, which is the video#index.
You're going to want something like this:
<%= simple_form_for :prospect, :url => etc, :method => 'post', :class => "form-inline" do |f|
...
<% end %>
Losing the leading (redundant) form-inline form tag and you'll be fine.
I have a regular form for User information which starts like so:
<%= form_for(#user, :html => { :class => "form-horizontal" }) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :last_name %>
...
<%= f.submit "Submit", class: "btn btn-primary", :name => "submit_button" if #user.last_step? %>
<% end %>
I also have some non User fields in the form. Here's an example:
<%= f.label "When is your birthday?" %>
<%= select_tag "month" %>
<%= select_tag "day" %>
<%= select_tag "year" %>
How would I save this to a different table than User?
If you want to update a model other than User, you should probably use accepts_nested_attributes_for and fields_for. The alternative is to just do the work in your create action of your UsersController, ie:
def create
#user = User.create params[:user]
#foo = Foo.find params[:foo_id]
#foo.date = Date.new(params[:foo_year], params[:foo_month], params[:foo_day])
...
end
In my Rails app, I'm using simple_form.
I'm trying to use grouped collection selects.
Without simple_form, this works:
<%= f.label :employee_id, "Lead3:" %>
<%= f.grouped_collection_select :employee_id, Workgroup.order(:id) , :employees, :group, :id, :employee_full_name %>
But, my simple_form attempt doesn't - the dropdown is empty:
<%= f.input :employee, collection: #workgroups, as: :grouped_select, group_method: :employees, :label => 'Lead2:' %>
OR
<%= f.association :employee, collection: #workgroups, as: :grouped_select, group_method: :employees, :label => 'Lead2:' %>
I would suggest to check your #workgroups definition in the controller. It probably returns nil or is not specified. Depending on what action calls your form, you should have something like this:
#workgroups = Workgroup.all(order: id)
I have a form to create adverts.
Controllers:
def edit
#engines = Engine.all
#car = Car.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#car = Car.find(params[:id])
if #car.save
redirect_to root_path
end
end
My routes:
resources :adverts
Create.html.erb
<%= form_for #car, :url => adverts_path do |f| %>
<div><%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %></div>
<%= hidden_field_tag :model_id, params[:model_id] %>
<%= select_tag :engine_id, options_from_collection_for_select(#engines, "id", "name",:selected=>#car.engine_id) %>
<div><%= f.submit "Create car!" %></div>
<% end %>
I can create advert, but I can't to update it.
edit.html.erb
<%= form_for #car, :url => adverts_path do |f| %>
<div><%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %></div>
<%= hidden_field_tag :model_id, params[:model_id] %>
<%= select_tag :engine_id, options_from_collection_for_select(#engines, "id", "name",:selected=>#car.engine_id) %>
<div><%= f.submit "Update car!" %></div>
<% end %>
when I submited my form, I have an error - No route matches [PUT] "/adverts"
$ rake routes:
adverts GET /adverts(.:format) adverts#index
POST /adverts(.:format) adverts#create
new_advert GET /adverts/new(.:format) adverts#new
edit_advert GET /adverts/:id/edit(.:format) adverts#edit
advert GET /adverts/:id(.:format) adverts#show
PUT /adverts/:id(.:format) adverts#update
DELETE /adverts/:id(.:format) adverts#destroy
I need help.
When you are updating you have to let Rails know which object you want to update by passing an id.
In edit.html.erb change:
<%= form_for #car, :url => adverts_path do |f| %>
to:
<%= form_for #car, :url => advert_path(#car) do |f| %>
By the way, I find your code very strange. Why don't your model names match your controllers and routes? I mean you are creating an advert but your model is called car. That doesn't make any sense. Either call it car or advert, but don't mix them.
If you used RESTful routing, you don't need to specify a url, just need:
<%= form_for #car do |f| %>
The form can know #car is new record, or saved record, so it will send appropriate http method.
And in your update action:
def update
#car = Car.find(params[:id])
if #car.update_attributes(params[:car])
redirect_to root_path
end
end
I got myself in a similar situation today with a mismatched resource and model name. I agree the model and controller names need to correlate, but you can override the routes name to be whatever you want.
resources :cars, path: "adverts"
Along with RESTful routing
<%= form_for #car do |f| %>
You may also want to make sure your url: path is singular on the #form_form.
