I've been starting to use simple_form in my rails application, which is quite nice. But I was not able to find a function which allows me to rename a field, without the use of i18n.
I have a radio button in my formular, which allows to choose the delivery type. Controlled by that a few fields need a different naming (but its still the same field with the same information).
(e.g. there's a delivery note which is called weight note or notification depending on the delivery type, but contains the same information).
I checked the readme, the railscast and searched a lot but didn't find a build-in way to do that. One option of course would be to create a special locales file just for that, but that feels a little over the top.
I found my answer in a different question regarding simple_form. After looking for that part in the readme, I also found it there.
<%= simple_form_for #user do |f| %>
<%= f.input :username, :label => 'Whatever name you want..' %>
<% end %>
This also overwrites the name given in the i18n file.

Good afternoon. I'm a beginner in Rails and I'm starting this project in college and I need some help. I have users that don't need sign up. I will create all the users. Then, I decided to use the gem ActiveAdmin, and I can add the users through the graphic interface. I thought it would be easy but, after finish the installation, I tried to add some user and I've got a surprise:
I have all those fields created by devise to edit.

I wanna know if there is a way that I can edit only the fields created by me, and those other fields automatically fill, like if I'm creating a new user with devise.
P.S: I wanna just lines to follow, not the entire resolution. I'm really lost rs.
Yes, you can set which inputs you want to appear in your form:
ActiveAdmin.register AdminUser do
form do |f|
f.inputs do
f.input :email
f.input :password
end
f.actions
end
end
The rest of the inputs will be filled by Devise.
Docs for ActiveAdmin form: https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin/blob/master/docs/5-forms.md
I'm running sphinx, thinking sphinx and have a basic ordering system with companies, users, order, notes, comments amongst others.
TS is running fine, searching in individual models and their nested resources is working brilliant.
What I wanted to do is have a global search form in my header (application.html.erb). The problem is where my form's posting to.
<%= form_tag companies_path, :method => 'get', :id => "companies_search" do %>
<p>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
</p>
<% end %>
Obviously this works for my companies and nested resources. If I put it in my header, any result will be returned on my company layout.
Is it possible to create a dynamic alternative to companies_path?
Or, should I create some special layout?
What does everyone else do here?
I'd create a separate action for handling global searches - or at least, separate routing back to a reusable search action, and have that action detect whether it's a global search, company search, etc.
As for the header - do you always want it global? Because that's easy enough - just use the global/generic search action for the form constantly. If you want it done dynamically, though - defaulting to the context of the models if appropriate? - I'd probably opt for a content_for block, and add the appropriate search form in each of the relevant views.
Of course, that gets messy, so a different way could be to just customise the url via a helper that looks at params[:controller] to see what the current context is. No idea how fragile this might get, though.
I'm trying to use the authlogic-connect plugin to add oauth support to my web app but I'm getting the error:
unknown attribute: oauth_provider
when UsersController#create is called. It is failing when I try to create a new user from the parameters that are being passed in:
#user = User.new(params[:user])
Sure enough, the parameters include this attribute:
Parameters:
{"utf8"=>"✓",
"authenticity_token"=>"lHX2BTFTd5xITTfY/X8A9R3vca3YaRuHFoWdqy8ZPik=",
"user"=>{"oauth_provider"=>"linkedin"},
"commit"=>"LinkIn"}
From the documentation, I assumed that this was what you are supposed to do:
Second, if you are using Oauth, you must include an input with name oauth_provider
and value twitter or whatever other provider you might want (see example apps for
dynamic example).
Any ideas on how this is supposed to work? All of the example forms are in yaml - which I don't know - and I'm trying to create this from using embedded ruby code. Here's the form that I'm using:
<!-- authlogic-connect hack -->
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<%= f.radio_button(:oauth_provider, "linkedin") %>
<%= f.label(:oauth_provider_linkedin, "Link In Fool") %>
<%= f.submit :value => "LinkIn" %>
<% end %>
As Dimitry pointed out, the best answer to this question is to use devise + omniauth instead of trying to get authlogic to work. Authlogic simply doesn't support rails3. I spent at least a week trying to get authlogic to work the way I wanted and I never solved the problem. I then spent a few hours getting devise + omniauth to do exactly what I want (i.e. you can create an account with LinkedIn or on the sight and you can associate them together so that you can login with LinkedIn or with email and password to the same account).
I would like to get some ref to use Jquery in Rails app.
At the moment, I am stuck to find the things to enable google suggest in text box and autocomplete in Rails app. Any help/suggestions/ref would be of great help.
I did a short search on auto-complete with Rails earlier today and these are the best links I found:
http://github.com/crowdint/rails3-jquery-autocomplete and http://github.com/crowdint/rails3-jquery-autocomplete-app
http://blog.jackhq.com/posts/3-how-to-add-jquery-autocomplete-to-your-rails-forms-in-a-restful-way
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-autocomplete/
Edit: I just implemented the first link in my app, works flawless so far. I had minor problems with the documentation though, this works for me (on typing AutoComplete starts after the second character):
Model named Category, has an attribute name:
controller:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
autocomplete :category, :name
...
routes:
get 'users/autocomplete_category_name'
view:
<%= form_tag 'users/index' do %>
<%= autocomplete_field_tag 'address', '', users_autocomplete_category_name_path, :size => 75 %>
<% end %>
Hey,
I'm pretty new to rails and for learning effect, I try to implement my own authorization system.
Right now I'm having a Page Controller to control some static pages and nothing more, and a Session Controller where I plan to implement most of the authorization process.
My problem is, I have no clue how to get my partial to use the sessions-controller, when I add it to one of the static pages controlled by the pages controller.
It stated out with this http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/sign-in-sign-out#top but i don't want it on an extra page.
so I tried setting the routes and I got an exception "no path found for '/'" as soon as I deleted "resources :sessions" it worked fine again.
my partial looks like this:
<%= form_for(User.new) do |f| %>
<%= f.submit "Login" %>
<% end %>
there's also a div class="action" block around the submit but can't find out how to escape it
this is included into my home via
<%= render 'sessions/new' %>
Thanks for your help
edit my solution:
I added to routes.rb:
resources :sessions
Furthermore I changed form_for(#user) to
<%= form_for(:session, url => sessions_path)
so this works.
I Highly recommed that you look at the railscast http://railscasts.com/episodes/250-authentication-from-scratch , it will give you an idea how to create authentication without forgetting some important steps.
Then you can use the gem devise which is an excellent authentication gem.
Have you tried putting your functions and everything for authentication within a Session Helpers file? Then, in your Application Controller if you add "include SessionsHelper" this should give you access to all the helper functions from Session that you should need
