I am using the Datebox(timebox mode) jquerymobile plugin in my Rails app to choose some hours. I am trying to set the default value by using defaultPickerValue, but I dont how to add it.
I can only find this document about it
http://dev.jtsage.com/jQM-DateBox1/demos/api/matrix.html#&ui-page=1-2
I have tried a lot variations like this:
<%= builder.text_field :start_time, "data-role" => "datebox", "data-options" => '{"mode": "timebox", "minuteStep": 15, "defaultPickerValue": "[12,0]" }' %>
and
<%= builder.text_field :end_time, "data-role" => "datebox", "defaultPickerValue" => "[12,0]", "data-options" => '{"mode": "timebox", "minuteStep":15 }'%>
Is it only possible to set by script on on load?
You can do it whenever you want.
Take a look at this example:
var defaultPickerValue = [12, 0, 0]; // 12 hour, 0 minutes, 0 seconds
$('#datePickerID').data('timebox').options.defaultPickerValue = defaultPickerValue;
Use this format to set any other needed option.
Or better do it like this. It is an easier solution.

I'd like to include a rails object in my keywords as well as straight text but the code is clearly not the right way to do it...how can I do this?
set_meta_tags :keywords => %w[keyword1 keyword2 #{params[:hospital]}]
You might want to have a look at two plug-ins for including rails object in meta tags:
Meta Magic: https://github.com/lassebunk/metamagic
Head Liner: https://github.com/mokolabs/headliner
Edit: For Meta tag gem
What I usually do is write a meta helper that I simply stick in my ApplicationHelper, that looks like this:
def meta(field = nil, list = [])
field = field.to_s
#meta ||= {
'robots' => ['all'],
'copyright' => ['My Copyright'],
'content-language' => ['en'],
'title' => [],
'keywords' => []
}
if field.present?
#meta[field] ||= []
case list.class
when Array then
#meta[field] += list
when String then
#meta[field] += [list]
else
#meta[field] += [list]
end
case field
when 'description' then
content = truncate(strip_tags(h(#meta[field].join(', '))), :length => 255)
else
content = #meta[field].join(', ')
end
return raw(%(<meta #{att}="#{h(field)}" content="#{h(content)}"/>))
else
tags = ''
#meta.each do |field, list|
tags += meta(field)+"\n"
end
return tags.rstrip
end
end
You can simply set meta tags in your views, by adding a call to meta() in it. So in an articles/show.html.erb you might add this to the top of your view:
<% meta(:title, #article.title) %>
And in your layouts, you add it without any parameters, so it'll spit out the meta tags.
<%= meta %>
Or have it output an individual tag:
<%= meta(:title) %>
I bet you there's more elegant solutions, though.
But if you were looking for something already implemented in Rails you're out of luck.
Thanks.
Try this in your view as it worked for me (using meta-tags gem):
<% keywords [[#modelname.keyword1], [#modelname.keyword2]] %>
and you cad additional keywords in text format by adding them within the ruby in the following format ['keyword3']
I am following the instructions to implement auto complete in a rails 3.2.11 application but I need to specify a minimum number of characters to type before the query triggers. THe jQuery API documentation has an attribute "minLength". I can't figure out how to implement this in a rails auto complete field tag. Here is my code for the field tag.
<%= autocomplete_field_tag 'unit', '', autocomplete_unit_identifier_subjects_path, :id_element => '#subject_id', :size => 75 %>
Here is the url to the instructions I am following.
https://github.com/crowdint/rails3-jquery-autocomplete
If anyone is looking for an updated answer, it appears you can now set minimum length with the attribute 'min-length'.
<%= autocomplete_field_tag 'group_name', '', group_autocomplete_path, 'placeholder' => 'Select a Job Number', 'size' => 35, 'class' => 'styled-select', 'data-auto-focus' => true, 'min-length' => 1 %>
Why its not 'minlength' as documented in jQuery autocomplete, I don't know..
Well, minLength doesn't work because of this code in autocomplete-rails.js, line 65 or so:
search: function() {
// custom minLength
var term = extractLast( this.value );
if ( term.length < 2 ) {
return false;
}
},
You can change the '2' to whatever you want the minLength to be.
I'm making a rails application so that users can search a database of midi records and find midi files that correspond to the attributes that I've given them.
For example, a user might enter data into an html form for a midi file with name = "blah" composer= "buh" and difficulty = "insane".
This is all fine and well, except that I would like when the user enters no data for a field, that field is ignored when doing the select statement on the database.
Right now this is what my select statement looks like:
#midis=Midi.where(:name => params[:midi][:name],
:style => params[:midi][:style],
:numparts => params[:midi][:numparts],
:composer=> params[:midi][:composer],
:difficulty => params[:midi[:difficulty])
This works as expected, but if for example he/she leaves :composer blank, the composer field should not considered at all. This is probably a simple syntax thing but i wasn't able to find any pages on it.
Thanks very much!
Not sure if Arel supports that directly, but you could always do something like:
conditions = {
:name => params[:midi][:name],
:style => params[:midi][:style],
:numparts => params[:midi][:numparts],
:composer=> params[:midi][:composer],
:difficulty => params[:midi[:difficulty]
}
#midis=Midi.where(conditions.select{|k,v| v.present?})
Try this:
# Select the key/value pairs which are actually set and then convert the array back to Hash
c = Hash[{
:name => params[:midi][:name],
:style => params[:midi][:style],
:numparts => params[:midi][:numparts],
:composer => params[:midi][:composer],
:difficulty => params[:midi][:difficulty]
}.select{|k, v| v.present?}]
Midi.where(c)
I'm using calendar_helper with success using this code:
<%=
calendar({:year => Date.today.year, :month => Date.today.month}) do |d|
cell_text = "#{d.mday}"
cell_attrs = {:class => 'day'}
#events.each do |e|
if e.start_at.mday == d.mday
cell_text << link_to( e.name, :action => 'show', :id => e ) << "<br />"
cell_attrs[:class] = 'specialDay'
end
end
[cell_text, cell_attrs]
end
%>
This gives me the correct html, with events falling on this month's days being outputed correctly. However, this gives me the escaped code, so i need to pass it trough raw.
As soon as i pass it trough raw though, i lose the details on the calendar (events) and get only the calendar itself.
Any idea why this is happening or how to circumvent it?
I put the work I needed to do in a helper method and passed day and my collection (like your #events) to the helper method. It worked fine without a call to raw and left the view code much cleaner.
Hi i am using the date picker jquery ui in combination with rails 3.1. The date picker looks brilliant, only the date isn't stored in the database? Only sometimes...? So that's a difficult error.
This is my .js file:
$(function() {
$("#question_deadline").datepicker({ duration: 'fast', maxDate: '+2m', minDate: 'now', showOn: "button", buttonImage: "calendar.gif", buttonImageOnly: true });
$("#question_deadline").datepicker("option", "showAnim", "drop");
$("#question_deadline").datepicker("option", "dateFormat", "DD, d MM, yy");
});
In my controller there's just plain rails script:
def create
#question = Question.new(params[:question])
if #question.save
redirect_to questions_path, :notice => "Successfully created question."
else
setup_questions
render :index
end
end
In views file _form.html.erb i use a text_field to display the date:
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :content, "Question" %><br />
<%= f.text_field :content, :placeholder => "type your question here.." %>
<%= f.text_field :deadline %><br />
</div>
Are there people who have experience with datepiacker jquery ui and rails, the ryan bates episode, didn't solve it, i think that was written in rails 2.3?

First, you need to show us the view where you have the datepicker element. If it's like this:
<input type="text" name="question_deadline" id="question_deadline" />
When you submit this form, the parameters you receive in your controller (in the method "create") is called question_deadline. So in that create method you should first write:
if params[:question_deadline] != ""
params[:question][:question_deadline] = params[:question_deadline]
end
#add a else if this date field is compulsory in the database
This step is important because the create method will read stuff from params[:question][:question_deadline] not from params[:question_deadline] which is returned from the view.
Thus params[:question][:question_deadline] is empty when you do #question.save
To display the date, you also need to show us the controller "show" method that should be something like:
#question = Question.find(params[:id]) #or any sql request that returns info about a question.
Then in the view you can retrieve it simply with:
<%= #question.question_deadline%>
Maybe with more code from you controller and view I can elaborate on that.
I think, Rails/Ruby is not able to parse a date in this format:
$("#question_deadline").datepicker("option", "dateFormat", "DD, d MM, yy");
// full day name, day (w/o leading zero), full month name, 4-digit year
In your controller, you might want to add a line such as
def create/update
...
#question.deadline = DateTime.strptime(params[:question][:deadline], '%A, %d %B, %Y')
# assuming my jquery-to-ruby format-mapping is adequate ;-)
if #question.save
...
end
Beware, that this code easily breaks on malformed date strings.
If you don't want to change the format to, e.g. 'yy-mm-dd' (in Ruby-land it's '%Y-%m-%d'), you may want to populate the selected date to another HTML element using the altField option and hide the actual datepicker input field via CSS:
$("#somewhere_else").datepicker(
dateFormat: "%yy-%mm-%dd",
altField: "#question_deadline",
altFormat: "DD, d MM, yy",
...
);
<%= form_for #question do |f| %>
...
<%= text_field_tag 'somewhere_else', #question.deadline %>
<%= f.hidden_field :deadline %>
...
<% end %>
That'll work, at least for me :-)

The other option is to update the way ActiveSupport parses dates. This is outlined in Default Date Format in Rails (Need it to be ddmmyyyy)
