I have a time field and would like to have only the following times appear:
09:00
09:15
09:30
09:45
10:00
...
14:00
I'm using Simple_Forms, bootstrap and activerecord.
Last thing I tried was setting up a global initialiser like this:
ValidHours =
['09:00', '09:15', '09:30', '09:45', '10:00', '10:15', '10:30', '10:45',
'11:00', '11:15', '11:30', '11:45', '12:00',
'12:15', '12:30', '12:45', '13:00', '13:15', '13:30', '13:45', '14:00']
and then in Simple_Forms I used:
<%= f.input :order_until_hour, :label => "Order until", :collection => ValidHours %>
This displays the values correctly but they don't seem to be saved in the database.
If possible I would also like to have this info in the model where it belongs.
I also tried:
def self.ValidHours
['09:00', '09:15', '09:30', '09:45', '10:00', '10:15', '10:30', '10:45', '11:00',
'11:15', '11:30', '11:45', '12:00', '12:15', '12:30', '12:45', '13:00',
'13:15', '13:30', '13:45', '14:00']
end
and in the view:
<%= f.input :order_until_hour, :label => "Order until", :collection => ValidHours %>
but that didn't work either.
Thanks for any clues!
EDIT:
Thanks for the reply uDaY. I tried your suggestion.
They appear correctly now, I also checked the database and they get saved too. However if I click on edit (after it's saved) it still appears empty.
This is the code:
class Shop < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.ValidHours
[['09:00', '09:00'], ['09:15', '09:15'], ['09:30', '09:30'], ['09:45', '09:45'], ['10:00', '10:00'],
['10:15', '10:15'], ['10:30', '10:30'], ['10:45', '10:45'], ['11:00', '11:00'], ['11:15', '11:15'],
['11:30', '11:30'], ['11:45', '11:45'], ['12:00', '12:00'],
['12:15', '12:15'], ['12:30', '12:30'], ['12:45', '12:45'], ['13:00', '13:00'], ['13:15', '13:15'],
['13:30', '13:30'], ['13:45', '13:45'], ['14:00', '14:00']]
end
and in the view:
<%= f.input :order_until_hour, :label => "Order until", :collection => Shop.ValidHours %>
In the database the values appear as:
order_until_hour: "2000-01-01 09:00:00"
so I thought I would alter the ValidHours like this:
def self.ValidHours
[['09:00', '2000-01-01 09:00'], ['09:15', '2000-01-01 09:15'] …
but that doesn't make any difference.
You have key which is the text that is displayed in the dropdown but the value is not there so you have do something like this:
def self.ValidHours
[['09:00','09:00'], ['09:15','09:15'], ['09:30','09:30'],['09:45','09:45'],['10:00','10:00'],['10:15','10:15'],['10:30','10:30'], ['10:45','10:45'],['11:00','11:00']]
end
Hope this helps!

I have a form that allows you to select a facility by name then writes the id of the facility to a vale in the database.
<%= f.collection_select(:transfer_to_id, Facility.all, :id, :facility_name, {:include_blank => true}, {:class => 'select'})%>
I'd like to be able to select the facility name but to the right of the facility name display the facility_address in the form. I'm not sure how to do this, possibly an array of some sort or using a helper method.
If anyone can provide some help it would be appreciated.
Here is what ended up working properly for me by creating a Class method.
def facility_name_with_facility_address
"#{facility_name} | #{facility_address}"
end
This is untested so bear with me, but you need to add a method to your Facility model:
def facility_name_with_facility_address
facility_name << " " << facility_address
end
And then in your form you want to change the following:
<%= f.collection_select(:transfer_to_id, Facility.all, :id, :facility_name, {:include_blank => true}, {:class => 'select'})%>
To this:
<%= f.collection_select(:transfer_to_id, Facility.all, :id, :facility_name_with_facility_address, {:include_blank => true}, {:class => 'select'})%>
I've got a collection_select instance in a form, and I'm wondering if it's possible to have two or more instances in the same form. They'd be built from the same model, and they would save as if they were checkboxes constructed in an Article.all.each loop. To have these work
<%= f.collection_select("article_ids", Article.where(:page => 1), :id, :name) %>
<%= f.collection_select("article_ids", Article.where(:page => 2), :id, :name) %>
<%= f.collection_select("article_ids", Article.where(:page => 3), :id, :name) %>
in the form is pretty much what I'm after. It's essentially a multiple select but spread over a couple of selects. The field already accepts multiple results, but when I save the form as it is above it only records the option from the final select. Any thoughts?
Cheers!
<%= select_tag "article_ids[]",options_from_collection_for_select(Article.all.collect{|i| [i.name,i.id]),:multiple => true %>
When select multiple options in select list just give article_ids[] , it will store all ids in this array then after you write query how you would store in database.
If set the select tag is multiple true then you will select multiple options other wise you get only one selected value.
or just read below link
http://api.rubyonrails.org/?q=collection%20select
If you want to give f.select then you must give like this
<%= f.collection_select :article_id, Article.all, :id , :name %>
I just went with checkboxes to solve this, because it's truly the stuff of nightmares.
<% #articles.each do |a| %>
<%= check_box_tag("doc[article_ids][]", a.id, #doc.articles.include?(a.id), :class => "article_chooser") %> <a id="<%= a.id %>" class="name"><%= a.name %></a><br />
<% end %>
I have a Rails app that is using the simple_form gem. I have two models that are related, trades and stocks. In the form for trades, I want users to be able to enter their stock ticker symbol in a text field. Currently, I'm using the association function which renders a select box. The problem is that I want a text field instead since I have about a thousand stocks to choose from.
Is there a way I can do this (with or without Simple Form)?
the models:
class Trade < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :stock
end
class Stock < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :trades
end
the form on trades#new
<%= simple_form_for(#trade) do |f| %>
<%= f.association :stock %>
<% end %>
You should be able to just use this syntax:
<%= f.input :stock_id, :label => 'Enter your ticker:' %>
The problem here is that the user will not know what :stock_id is, as it's a reference to one of your many Stock objects.
So you probably want to implement a simple jquery autocomplete interface that returns a list of stocks like so:
[{:ticker => 'AAPL', :name => 'Apple Inc', :id => 1}, {:ticker => 'IBM', :name => 'International Business Machines', :id => 2}, etc ]
You can then display something like this as autocomplete results:
AAPL - Apple Inc
IBM - International Business Machines
and allow the user to select the one they are looking for. Behind the scenes you capture the :id and use that as your associated :stock_id.
You will need to add a stocks_controller action that takes a string and looks up Stocks based on a partial ticker and returns a max-number of stocks like 20.
def search
ticker_query = "%#{params[:ticker]}%"
stocks = Stock.where('ticker LIKE ?', ticker_query).limit(20)
render :json => stocks
end
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?
Regards,
Thijs
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)
I want to paginate posts by month so I added following scope in Post model
class Post
include Mongoid::Document
include Mongoid::Timestamps
scope :by_month, lambda {|end_date| Post.order_by(:created_at => :asc).where(:created_at.gte => (end_date.to_date.beginning_of_month), :created_at.lte => (end_date.to_date))}
end
In my controller I put
def show
#posts = Post.by_month(Time.now).page(params[:page]).per(20)
end
In view
<%= paginate #posts, :theme => 'month_theme' %>
<%= render #posts %>
Problems:
pagination is not working by month, I want to show all result of a month in a page, replacing params[:page] by params[:month]=2 or params[:month]=Feb
How do I view 'August 2011' instead of 1,2
Loop month and year like when you goto previous while in 'Jan 2011' it will goto 'Dec 2010'
I suppose this is not really a matter of pagination. Dealing with the params[:month] value for the query is something different from the page offset switching. You might not need a pagination library for that.
How about simply creating those links like this?
controller:
#posts = Post.by_month(Time.parse(params[:month]) || Time.now)
view:
<% Post.only(:created_at).map {|p| p.created_at.to_date.beginning_of_month}.uniq.sort.each do |m| -%>
<%= link_to_unless_current m, :month => m %>
<% end -%>
Of course you can combine this query with normal pagination if needed. But the pagination links should not be mixed with the month links in that case.
