I'm trying to create a select field for a form that selects based on records selected for a model (called "Cancellation_Reasons").
In my model called Cancellation:
<%= form_for(#cancellation do |f| %>
<%= options_from_collection_for_select(#cancellation_reasons, :id, :name) %>
<% end %>
In the Cancellation_Controller:
def new
#cancellation = Cancellation.new
#cancellation_reasons = CancellationReason.find(1)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: #trade }
end
end
When I run CancellationReason.find(1) in the the Rails Console it finds the record, so #cancellation_reasons isn't nil. I think that it's probably in how I'm using the select helpers (I've tried experimenting with them, but I'm not quite sure which one to use even after reading the Rails Guide and Rails API docs).
options_from_collection_for_select expect a collection (even it it is a collection of 1).
So change the code to be:
def new
#cancellation = Cancellation.new
#cancellation_reasons = CancellationReason.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: #trade }
end
end

If I want to go with my home page clicking on the map localhost:3000/maps gets out this error No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"restaurants"}
controllers/maps_controller.rb
def index
#maps = Map.all
#json = Map.all.to_gmaps4rails do |map, marker|
marker.infowindow info_for_restaurant(map.restaurant)
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render json: #maps }
end
end
def show
#map = Map.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|

end
private
def info_for_restaurant(restaurant)
link_to restaurant_path do
content_tag("h2") do
restaurant.name
end
end
end
routes.rb

resources :maps
This is answer for my question:
controllers/maps_controller.rb
def index
#maps = Map.all
#json = Map.all.to_gmaps4rails do |map, marker|
marker.infowindow render_to_string(:partial => "/maps/maps_link",
:layout => false, :locals => { :map => map})
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render json: #maps }
end
end
views/maps/_maps_link.html.erb
<div class="map-link">
<h2><%= link_to map.restaurant.title, map.restaurant %></h2>
</div>
You referred to restaurant_path within info_for_restaurant, which is part of MapsController. Rails met error here.
You need to either define the restaurant_path in restaurant controller, or comment out this function in maps controller at this moment.
Your approach is wrong in several levels. Let's work on them, one at a time:
1) Your call to the route helper is wrong:
restaurant_path is the route helper for a show action. A show action needs an id parameter to be valid. Your call is missing a parameter.
So, your code must be something like this:
def info_for_restaurant(restaurant)
link_to restaurant_path(restaurant) do
content_tag("h2") do
restaurant.name
end
end
end
To see the parameters needed for each action, you can run rake routes on the console.
However, this does not solve the problem, as you're also:
2) Calling view helpers from your controller
link_to and content_tag are view helper methods, and you don't want to bother your controller with view issues. So, the best way to solve this problem is to move your info_for_restaurant method to a helper, and call it from a view instead.
So, now, your controller will not assign anything to #json, and the last line of your view will look like this:
<%= gmaps4rails #maps.to_gmaps4rails {|map, marker| marker.infowindow info_for_restaurant(map.restaurant) } %>
I'm creating a basic loyalty card application, with model Merchant and Loyaltycard. In the merchant#show view I have this line
<%=link_to 'New Loyalty card', new_loyaltycard_path(:merchant_id=>1) %>
I'm trying to pass the merchant ID to the loyaltycard#new view so it will be automatically selected as the merchant for that card. In loyaltycard#_form (which gets called by loyaltycard#new) I have the lines
<%if #merchant%>
<%= f.hidden_field :merchant_id, :value => #merchant.id %>
<%else%>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :merchant_id %><br />
<%= f.text_field :merchant_id %>
</div>
<%end%>
But I keep getting and error that says can't call id for class Nil. Is there a better way of doing this?
Here is the controller code for loyaltycard
def new
#loyaltycard = Loyaltycard.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: #loyaltycard }
end
end
# GET /loyaltycards/1/edit
def edit
#loyaltycard = Loyaltycard.find(params[:id])
end
# POST /loyaltycards
# POST /loyaltycards.json
def create
#loyaltycard = Loyaltycard.new(params[:loyaltycard])
respond_to do |format|
if #loyaltycard.save
format.html { redirect_to #loyaltycard, notice: 'Loyaltycard was successfully created.' }
format.json { render json: #loyaltycard, status: :created, location: #loyaltycard }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: #loyaltycard.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
The error is
Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id
What you need to do in your new action is using the params[:merchant_id] to look up and set #merchant
#merchant = Merchant.find(params[:merchant_id])
Then your code should work, without that, #merchant is nil, and you can't call the method :id on nil
You're not setting variable #merchant anywhere in your controller, but you use it the view.
I'm using jquery to render a like button on a story. I have two models story and like
Here's the likes controller code:
def create
#like = Like.new(params[:like])
#story = Story.find(params[:story])
#like.story = #story
if #like.save
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.js
end
end
end
def destroy
#like = Like.find(params[:id])
##story = #like.story
#like.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to stories_url }
format.js
format.json { head :ok }
end
end
This is the button partial (stories/like_button):
<% unless user_likes_story?(#story, current_user) %>
<%= button_to 'like', "/likes?story=#{#story.id}", :id => 'like_button', :remote => true %>
<% else %>
<%= button_to 'liked', #liked, :class => 'like_button unlike', :id => 'unlike_button', :remote => true, method: :delete %>
<% end %>
The problem is that my create.js.erb, when rendering the 'unlike' button, doesn't properly load the #liked instance variable, because it's being set in the #show action of the stories controller before the user has liked the story, so I can't figure out how or where to set it so the JS will render the unlike properly. I'm probably making this harder than it has to be, but...
create.js.erb
$('.button_to').replaceWith('<%=j render 'stories/like_button' %>');
$('#story_likes_count').replaceWith('<%=j render 'stories/likes_count' %>');
Here's how I tried setting #liked, in stories#show
def show
#like = Like.new
#story = Story.find(params[:id])
if current_user
#liked = Like.find_by_user_id_and_story_id(current_user,#story)
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.json { render json: #story }
end
end
Any idea how to do this properly? Should I just move the partial out of the stories folder?
The solution was pretty simple. In the controller, doing this:
format.js {#liked = #like}
Passes the variable and makes it available to the partial when it's rendered.
I have a blog style site and under each article there is the usual 'view' 'edit' and 'delete' functions for users once they are signed in. The issue is when I click on 'delete' the link it sends you to the 'view' article page and doesn't delete the article. Can't figure this one out as the delete and view paths are different in my code but do the same thing...??
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authenticate_user!, :except => [:index, :show]
# GET /articles
# GET /articles.xml
# display the amount of article on the home page
def index
#articles = Article.published.page(params[:page]).per(6).ordered
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
# format.atom #index.atom.builder
format.xml { render :xml => #articles }
end
end
# GET /articles/1
# GET /articles/1.xml
def show
#article = Article.find(params[:id])
#comment = Comment.new(:article=>#article)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => #article }
end
end
...
/controllers/articles_controller
# DELETE /articles/1.xml
def destroy
#article = Article.find(params[:id])
authorize! :destroy, #article
#article.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to(articles_url) }
format.xml { head :ok }
end
end
end
views/articles/_article.html.erb
<div class= "art-links">
<%= link_to 'Read', article %>
<% if can? :update, article %>
| <%= link_to 'Edit', edit_article_path(article) %> |
<% end %>
<% if can? :destroy, article %>
<%= link_to 'Delete', article, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %>
<% end %>
</div>

This may be because you don't have the right javascript files set up. Rails 3 uses unobtrusive javascript to create the DELETE request when you click the link. If the javascript isn't working, it will fall back to doing a GET which will render the show action.
Make sure you have rails.js and prototype.js in your layout. If you are using a javascript framework other than Prototype, you will need to have that framework (jQuery or whatever) along with the appropriate port of rails.js.
This line
format.html { redirect_to(articles_url) }
should send it back to your index action, where do you want to end up?
This case happen also in my project.
Finnaly I know the cause. It was because my application.js that located in app/assets/javascript was being replaced by another application.js that I copy when I try to explore about bootstap.
I simply add this 3 rows back:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery-ui
to the application.js on the top row its okay.
and put this
on my app/views/layout/application.html.erb
n it work..
in case if the jquery have been install n still error like me :D
sory for bad english :)
How do I paginate activities for a given project
In my routes file I have
resources :projects do
resources :activities
end
In my activities controller (should it go in my Projects controller?)
def index
#project = current_user.projects.find(params[:project_id])
#activities = #project.activities.all.paginate(:per_page => 5, :page => params[:page])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => #activities }
end
end
In my view
<%= will_paginate #project.activities %>
However no error returned but pagination is missing under table. Any idea?
Firstly, I would urge you to check out Kaminari for your pagination plugin as will_paginate seemed to have stalled out and its still only in pre-release 2 for Rails 3.
https://github.com/amatsuda/kaminari
Secondly, in your view try doing:
<%= will_paginate #activities %>
You're not linking to the variable #activities you created in your controller.
