I have an event with many guests for that event. A guest must search themselves using their ID to RSVP but I cannot get the search to return that guests info (show/edit page).
The search tag:
<div>
<h3>Enter your ID here:</h3>
<%= form_for "", url: event_guest_path(#event,#guest), role: 'search', method: :get do %>
<%= text_field_tag :search, #search_term, placeholder: "Search.." %>
<% end %>
</div>
GuestController:
def show
if params[:search]
#search_term = params[:search]
#guest = #event.guests.search_by(#search_term)
end
end
Guest.rb:
def self.search_by(search_term)
where("(id) LIKE :search_term", search_term: "%#{search_term}%")
end
At the moment it keeps taking me to the index page but I want it to return the guest path where they can make their RSVP.
We should have a more precision to clearly answer you. Because your query like a bit overkill.
A guest have a unique ID for a specific event ?
If that is the case I suggest you to simply use the following code in your show:
Guest.find_by(search_term: params[:search])
If your Guest has a unique ID which can be used for multiple event you probably want to create a join table but I am speculating.

I need to create search form to search for all the cases pt_name of the user
I got this error
Couldn't find User with 'id'=
In cases controller
def index
#user =User.find(params[:id])
#cases=#user.cases
if params[:search]
#search_term = params[:search]
#cases= #user.cases.casesearch_by(#search_term)
end
end
in case model
class Case < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
def self.casesearch_by(search_term)
where("LOWER(pt_name) LIKE :search_term OR LOWER(shade) LIKE :search_term",
search_term: "%#{search_term.downcase}%")
end
end
in cases index.html.erb
<%= form_for "",url: cases_path(#user.id), role: "search", method: :get ,class: "navbar-form navbar-right" do %>
<%= text_field_tag :search, #search_term,placeholder: "Search..." %>
<% end %>
The problem is the first line in your controller.
When the form is submitted it's going to cases_path(#user.id) - that's what you specified in your form.
If you're checking with rails routes you'll see that cases_path is actually going to "/cases" (I am assuming you did not overwrite it) and that there isn't any placeholder for an id (like it would be for the show action for example which goes to "/cases/:id".
Now you still specify #user.id in cases_path(#user.id) and then you try to find a user with the id from the params. But if you check your params once you arrived in the controller (with binding.pry or other tools), you will see there is no key :id in the params. You can also check the url it is going to, I believe it will look something like this: "/cases.1".
You can solve that by changing the path to
cases_path(user_id: #user.id)
This way you add a new key value pair to the params hash and then in your controller you need to change it accordingly:
#user =User.find(params[:user_id])
You can also add a hidden field into your form in order to pass along the user id:
<%= form_for "", url: cases_path, role: "search", method: :get, class: "navbar-form navbar-right" do %>
<%= text_field_tag :search, #search_term,placeholder: "Search..." %>
<%= hidden_field_tag :user_id, #user.id %>
<% end %>
And then retrieve it in the controller.
To check your params that you get in the controller action use a gem like pry byebug or just the keyword raise and then inspect the params variable.
hi so I'm trying to do 2 things, one of them is to basically redirect to a model's ID number so input is "1" and redirects to
localhost:3000/model/1
and the second part is actually doing a search. each model has a text field string for license_no and I want to be able to search and return results
currently, I am not sure how I would combine these into 1 search form if thats possible or if it would require 2 separate search forms
i have a search form with only the license_no field but it always returns no results found...
apologize that the model name isn't in singular, the guide I was using to learn RoR had it that way and everything worked, but I have so many references to renters in my project that it would be a while to find all of them
index.html.erb
<%= form_tag search_renters_path, method: get do |f| %>
<%= text_field_tag :license, nil, placeholder: "License Number" %>
<%= submit_tag 'Search', class: "btn-large" %>
<% end %>
models/renters.rb
class Renters < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :license_no
def self.search(params)
renters = Renters.where("license_no LIKE?", "%#{params[:license]}%")
end
end
controller.rb
def search
#renter = Renters.search([params])
end
search.html.erb - snippet
<% if #renter.blank? %>
no results
<% else %>
#show results
<% end %>
editted code
models/renters.rb
def self.search(params)
license_query = "%#{params[:license]}%"
id_query = "%#{params[:id]}%"
renters = Renters.where("license_no LIKE ?", license_query) if params[:license].present?
renters = Renters.where("id LIKE ?", id_query) if params[:id].present?
end
controller
def search
#renter = Renters.search(params)
end
search form
<%= form_tag search_renters_path, method: :get do |f| %>
<%= text_field_tag :license, nil, placeholder: "Driver's License" %>
<%= text_field_tag :id, nil, placeholder: "ID number" %>
<% end %>
I'm trying to use the if present? statements to allow a user to decide whether to input ID No or License No. you don't need to input both just one. currently, if I search for a license no, it returns no results. but when I search for an ID, it returns the relevant result
you can do something like this if you are getting value on params[:licence] from your form submit on your controller action search
controller.rb
def search
#renter = Renters.search(params[:licence])
end
app/models/renters.rb
class Renters < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.search(query)
like_query = "%#{query}%"
renters = Renters.where("id LIKE ? OR license_no LIKE ?", like_query, like_query)
end
end
I have a search form and I need a checkbox that will select and then return whether a particular listing allows pets. I have created a custom route, controller method, and erb in the view. However, I am not accomplishing what I set out to do.
When a user clicks the Pets Allowed checkbox and then clicks search, the listings where pets allowed == true should be returned. I am not sure how to go about that.
This is the current code, but does not accomplish what I am after. This will redirect to /pets_allowed but that isn't a real thing.
listings_controller:
def pets_allowed
#listings = Listing.where(pets: true)
end
routes.rb:
get "pets_allowed" => "listings#pets_allowed"
html.erb:
<div>
<%= link_to 'Pets Allowed', pets_allowed_path, :class => 'button btn-transparent' %>
</div>
You probably need to use form_for instead of link_to.
<%= form_for :search_pets, url: pets_allowed_path, method: :get do |f| %>
<%= f.check_box :has_pets %>
<% end %>
Now in action,
def pets_allowed
#listings = Listing.where(pets: params[:search_pets][:has_pets])
end
When the checkbox is unchecked, it will return all the listings with no pets and when its checked it will return all the listings that have pets.
Hope that helps!
At the moment I am trying to create a search within a project to bring up users depending on their region. From what I understand, I basically need to place the search params in the controller, the self.search method in the model, and then the form in the view.
In another project, I have a search but it shows all the options above and use the search to filter out those which do not match. For this situation, I do not want to list any users in the beginning. I want to use the search bar and bring up any users that match within that view page. Additionally I use Devise for users if that does make a difference. Here are my three regions of code:
Model (user.rb):
def self.search(search)
where("state ILIKE ?", "%#{search}%")
end
Controller (welcome_controller.rb):
def index
#users = User.all.order("created_at DESC")
#newusers = User.all.order("created_at DESC").limit(5)
#differentlocations = User.all.group_by(&:state).count
render :layout => 'with_newest_members'
if params[:search]
#users = User.search(params[:search]).order("created_at DESC")
else
#users = User.all.order('created_at DESC')
end
end
View (find.html.erb):
<%= form_tag(find_path, :method => "get") do %>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search], placeholder: "Search Posts" %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
<% end %>
Please let me know if you have any knowledge for me to help =) Any additional explanation would be greatly appreciated to help me understand, thank you!
Edit: I know I need to enter the results portion but I am confused about how/where to put it.

ANSWER:
The issue was in my controller because I had a render command prior to the search code. The controller should be:
def index
#users = User.all.order("created_at DESC")
#newusers = User.all.order("created_at DESC").limit(5)
#differentlocations = User.all.group_by(&:state).count
if params[:search]
#users = User.search(params[:search]).order("created_at DESC")
else
#users = User.all.order('created_at DESC')
end
render :layout => 'with_newest_members'
end
Fantastic =)
Two small things that might help:
1) In your Search model, I believe you have a typo in your search method. It should read as follows:
def self.search(search)
where("state LIKE ?", "%#{search}%")
end
You might also want to consider a more description name for your argument, such as state.
2) In your form, you don't need to explicitly write params[:search] anywhere. The params hash will be generated for you in the controller, with the name of the text_field as the key and the value inputted by the user as the value (see Ruby docs here). In this case, use :search as the name of the text_field_tag name.
<%= form_tag(find_path, :method => "get") do %>
<%= text_field_tag :search, placeholder: "Search Posts" %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
<% end %>

I started using Sunspot to perform searches in my Rails 3 app and I ran into a doubt. Is there a way that I can let the user choose in what fields he/she wants to search. For example, in my app we have:
class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
searchable do
text :name, :content, :keyword
end
end
And in the View the default search bar:
<%= form_tag projects_path, :method => :get do %>
<p>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
</p>
<% end %>
Can I add a radio button or something like that so the user can mark it in order just to search by name, or content or keyword? If yes, how can I make it?
Thanks a lot.
Watch the railscasts on the subject: http://railscasts.com/episodes/278-search-with-sunspot .. in it, Ryan lets user's query optionally by month.
So, if month was sent in:
def index
#search = Article.search do
fulltext params[:search]
with(:publish_month, params[:month]) if params[:month].present?
end
#articles = #search.results
end
