I'm playing with ActsAsTaggableOn in a small project to see what are the possibilities of this gem.
So I have Products and products can have tags.
In my Product _form
<%= form_for(#product) do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :title %><br />
<%= f.text_field :title %>
</div>
Tags<br />
<% tag_cloud(#tags, %w(css1 css2 css3 css4)) do |tag, css_class| %>
<%= check_box_tag 'product[tag_list][]',tag.name,#product.tag_list.include? (tag),:class => css_class %>
<%= tag.name %>
<% end %>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
In ProductController I have defined the tag_cloud method
def tag_cloud
#tags = Product.tag_counts_on(:tags)
end
So in my editing product, I can tag the product with the checkboxes, but if a product already has tags those checkboxes aren't selected. I assume that here #product.tag_list.include? (tag) I am missing something or doing something wrong.
Any ideas? Thanks for your help =)
Cheers.
Today, after reading more carefully, I found the answer to this one.
This line
<%= check_box_tag 'product[tag_list][]',tag.name,#product.tag_list.include? (tag),:class => css_class %>
should be
<%= check_box_tag 'product[tag_list][]',tag.name,#product.tag_list.include? (tag.name),:class => css_class %>
So instead of the object I want to check if that name exists in the list.
Hope this helps someone.

I'm trying to create inline radio buttons which also has its label inline (at the very left).
As I state in the title, using Bootstrap and SimpleForm.
My code looks like this:
<%= f.input :breakdown_or_size,
:collection => ["Breakdown", "Manual"],
:as => :radio_buttons,
:item_wrapper_class => 'inline',
:label => 'Select One: ' %>
This is what I get:
(source: webpagescreenshot.info)
I looked high and low for simple_form_for help. In the end I couldn't find anything, but at least with form_for you can do this:
<%= form_for(#book) do |f| %>
<% if #book.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#book.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this book from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #book.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="actions", style='inline'>
<%= f.label 'Select One: ' %>
<br/>
<%= f.radio_button :collection, "Breakdown" %> Breakdown
<%= f.radio_button :collection, "Manual" %> Manual
<br/>
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
Which at least solves the inline rendering.
I have Category and Products, Category has many product in it. I'm able to Edit Delete Create the Category, Also able to Create Delete Products in the Each Category, but want to Edit the each Product.
I can access the single Product of particular Category by using link_to , and product controller is receiving the the product of particular Category.
In html of Category where all Product belongs of that category has
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_category_product_path(product.category, product) %>
Controller of Product, edit function is
#product = Product.where(params[:id])
then my edit html is
<%= form_for #product do |f| %>
<% if #product.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#product.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this product from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #product.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :description %><br />
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :price %><br />
<%= f.text_field :price %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
<%= link_to 'Back', category_products_path %>
I'm getting this error when try to Edit the product
NoMethodError in Products#edit

Note: i have used this 2, but same error,
<%= form_for(#product) do |f| %>
I think following line create array
#product = Product.where(params[:id])
which could not be used by the form_helper (expecting a Model name generally provided by an ActiveRecord Relation).you can inspect the #product to see the result.
so it is better if you use find instead of where like
#product = Product.find(params[:id])
I hope this answer would help you.
Thanks.
I have 3 models, Product, Variation and Color. I'm using the nested_form gem.
Product has_many :variations
Variation belongs_to :product
Variation has_and_belongs_to_many :colors
Color has_and_belongs_to_many :variations
Through Product form I have nested_form for Variations. I want to associate colors through checkbox but receive undefined local variable or method "color_ids"
Product model
def new
#product = Product.new
1.times { #product.variations.build }
end
def create
#product = Product.new(params[:product])
...
end
My form //edited//
<%= nested_form_for(#product) do |f| %>
<% if #product.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#product.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this product from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #product.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="inline-form">
<%= f.fields_for :variations %>
<p><%= f.link_to_add "Add a variation", :variations %></p>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= submit_or_cancel(f) %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
And nested form is a basic table with
<table id="new_item">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Color</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><%= f.text_field :name, :size => 40 %></td>
<td><% for color in Color.all %>
<%= check_box_tag 'variation[color_ids][]', color.id, variation.color_ids.include?(color.id), :id => dom_id(color) %><%= label_tag dom_id(color), color.name, :class => "check_box_label" %>
<% end %>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I'm guessing that your issue is the part of the form doing color_ids.include?(color.id). I'd need to see the rest of your form erb to tell you how to fix it.
It's going to be something like variation.color_ids.
Another thing to note, that style of for loop is odd to see in typical/idiomatic ruby.
This is more typical:
<% Color.all.each do |color| %>
<%= check_box_tag 'variation[color_ids][]', color.id, color_ids.include?(color.id), :id => dom_id(color) %><%= label_tag dom_id(color), color.name, :class => "check_box_label" %>
<% end %>
I have a Post which can have multiple Tags, each of which relates to a User (think Facebook tagging).
In my Post form I have this Formtastic code:
<%= f.inputs :class => 'tags' do %>
<ul>
<%= f.semantic_fields_for :tags do |t| %>
<% if t.object.new_record? %>
<%= t.input :user_id, :label => " ", :input_html => { :class => 'chosen', :'data-placeholder' => 'Select connection' }, :as => :select, :collection => current_user.connections %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
</ul>
<% if #post.tags.present? && !#post.new_record? %>
<ul class="existing-tags">
<%= f.fields_for :tags do |t| %>
<% unless t.object.new_record? %>
<li>
<%= link_to avatar(t.object.user), user_path(t.object.user) %>
<%= t.check_box :_destroy %>
<%= t.label :_destroy, 'Remove' %>
</li>
<% end %>
<% end %>
</ul>
<% end %>
<% end %>
As you can see this can allow a tag to be added one at a time. However I'd like to allow multiple selections in the dropdown menu, to create multiple tags in one go. Adding "multiple" doesn't work, however: it simply results in creating a tag for the current user, posting the Post.
Can anyone suggest a way I can use a single select field to create multiple tags?
A bit late to the party, but I solved this problem using the awesome jQuery Chosen plugin which makes multiple selects look really good.
I have a rails3 form that allows the user to edit a list of answers, as part of an assessment.
I use a fields_for loop to generate each text input:
app/models/assessment.rb :
class Assessment < ActiveRecord::Base
serialize :answers, Hash # answers is a t.text field used to store all answers.
end
app/view/assessments/new.html.erb :
<p>Initialized answers: <%= #assessment.answers %></p>
<% item_counter = 0 %>
<% form.fields_for :answers do |answer_fields| %>
<% item_id = "item" + item_counter.to_s %>
<% item_counter = item_counter + 1 %>
<div class="field">
<%= answer_fields.label "the appropriate question, omitted for brevity" %>
<br/>
<% #assessment.answers[item_id] = "" %>
<%= answer_fields.text_field item_id, :value => #assessment.answers[item_id] %>
</div>
<% end %>
PROBLEM: The fields_for loop does zero iteration, no field gets printed.
( despite "Initialized answers:" showing correctly: {"a"=>143, "b"=>42} )
This should do. Tested locally.
<p>Initialized answers: <%= #assessment.answers %></p>
<% #assessment.answers.each do |key, value| %>
<%= form.fields_for :answers, #assessment.answers[key] do |answer_fields| %>
<div class="field">
<%= answer_fields.label key %>
<br/>
<%= answer_fields.text_field key, :value => value %>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Turns Hash to OpenStruct object solved my problem.
<% form.fields_for :answers, OpenStruct.new(answers) do |answer_fields| %>
<% item_id = "item" + item_counter.to_s %>
<% item_counter = item_counter + 1 %>
<div class="field">
<%= answer_fields.label "the appropriate question, omitted for brevity" %>
<br/>
<% #assessment.answers[item_id] = "" %>
<%= answer_fields.text_field item_id, :value => #assessment.answers[item_id] %>
</div>
