I am trying to display data in the view for a member's profile. When I run the inspect option on the variable, it prints out all of the data on the profile variable. But, when I have it only call a column, I get an error.
I run the same code on a different variable and it prints out; so, I am a bit confused on what is going on. Is it because the Active Record has a relation? Here is the code:
profiles_controller.rb
def show
#show_page = params[:id]
#member = current_member
#profile = Profile.where(member_id: current_member.id)
end
show.html.erb
<hr>
<%= #show_page.inspect %>
<hr>
<%= #profile.inspect %>
<hr>
<%= #member.inspect %>
<hr>
<p>
<strong>Member ID:</strong>
<%= #member.id %>
</p>

Member ID: 8
Now, when I add the following code into the show page, I get an error.
show.html.erb
<p>
<strong>User Name:</strong>
<%= #profile.u_name %>
</p>

Did you mean? name
I am just confused on if there is a different way that I need to be calling the data found in the variable. The only difference between the #member and #profile print outs that I can see is the #<ActiveRecord::Relation [ prefixed to #profile. Does this mean that I need to call the information differently?
#where is query method, and returns records matching query conditions wrapped in ActiveRecord::Relation object. Which explains why you are getting this error. To resolve it, you need to change it to:
#profile = Profile.where(member_id: current_member.id).first
Which will return first record matching given member id to #profile instead of ActiveRecord::Relation object.
However, you must use a finder method in case you want to find a particular record. So better and cleaner approach would be:
#profile = Profile.find_by(member_id: current_member.id)
Change the line in profiles_controller.rb like
#profile = Profile.find_by(member_id: current_member.id)
As you are using where clause on Profile it will return an array of ActiveRecord::Relation objects. But you need a single #profile object not #profiles object. Thats you should use find_by method instead of where clause.
I think the problem is your line on the show method
#show_page = params[:id]
You need to indicate model where to contain the params id
#show_page = Model.find(params[:id]) #=> model is your model which you can using
I think will help

I have a list on the webpage generated from database.
It first shows what I want : Beaf .
However after this information, some others information of the array show up automatically:
<Ingredient id: 1, name: "Beaf", groupid: 1, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
How can I remove it? Thank you very much!
# Instead of using
<%= #ingredients.each do |i| %>
# use
<% #ingredients.each do |i| %>
The = will output all ingredients, whereas your output should only occur in the loop itself
board.voters_who_voted
returns an array containing rows from the User table. The attribute I want to pull out is the name.
Example output (only one user here):
[#<User id: 71, name: "montgomery Thamavaranacupt", email: "jmash#aol.com", created_at: "2013-01-27 05:32:30", updated_at: "2013-04-24 07:07:43", password_digest: "$2a$10$Es/olEq0.w6vcnn4.8v0.O0VXDP1c7nktcW85UFtG91e...", remember_token: "ttPm1aTE6WBm3WVx4EJTew", admin: false, image_file_name: nil, image_content_type: nil, image_file_size: nil, image_updated_at: nil, avatar: 0>]
I suppose I need to iterate through the entire array and print the names.
This is what I tried:
board.voters_who_voted.each {|x| puts x.name}
however this just returns the entire array for some reason
board.voters_who_voted[0].name
the above properly returns the name of the first user but i need this for all of them
You can use map:
board.voters_who_voted.map(&:name)
Since you want to use this in the title attribute, I recommend the following:
<%= link_to .., .., :title => board.voters_who_voted.map(&:name).join("\n").html_safe %>
I am new on Ruby and I am trying get data from table. so when read this
<%= puts #note.inspect %> I have this this result.
[#<Note id: 1, user_id: 1, note_type: 0, text: "Barev dzez", lat: 40.2290542420142, lng: 44.420879046875, deleted: false, created_at: "2012-04-26 14:10:05", updated_at: "2012-04-26 14:10:05">]
So when I call Note.text (for instance) I got nil result. So what should I write here to get data from array?
Thanks
#note is an Array with one Note object. You need to get the element first. For example:
<%= #note.first.text %>
You are retrive record in an array so you need to call like this
<%= puts #note.first.text %>
or
<%= puts #note.last.text %> if there is only one record
But you don't specify how you are retrive records..
How do you deal with form_for's when the routes are namespaced? I am getting some weird route errors that I really expect to get.
For example, let's say you have a controller called Admin::CompaniesController in
your :admin namespace in your routes.rb:
namespace :admin do
resources :companies
end
Most things work just fine, but I get an error when I render a new form. Here's the code:
<%= simple_form_for(#company, :url => admin_company_path(#company)) do |f| %>
And here's the error message:
ActionView::Template::Error: No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"admin/companies", :id=>#<Company id: nil, name: nil, phone_number: nil, address: nil, postal_code: nil, is_enabled: true, courses_created: 0, province_id: nil, theme_id: nil, payment_plan_id: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>}
How can I get rails to play nice here? I obviously want one url for edits, and another for new forms. Usually, I'd never even have to put :url in my form_for statements, but because of the nesting, I am forced to.
I have no idea what to do here now, at least not elegantly.
Try using simple_form_for([:admin, #company]) do |f|
I believe I just have to pluralize the path at the end of the path, like this:
<%= simple_form_for(#company, :url => admin_companies_path(#company)) do |f| %>
This is not what I would have expected. I just guessed at it. This is not a valid route or anything, but it seems to work for puts and posts.
Think of these lines of code :
#boss_locations = BossLocation.order('min_level asc').all
#discovered = current_user.discovered_locations.includes(:boss_location).all
The first one gets all available boss locations. The second one, gets all the discovered user locations(user_id, boss_location_id) and also includes the boss_location object.
Now, in my view, i want to present every boss location and a message like 'Discovered' or 'Not Discovered', based on whether a boss location exists on #discovered.
Now, my question is how can i feed my view with an easy way to do that. I could just traverse both arrays, but i'm pretty sure it's not the better way. Maybe there is a nice way to map all the boss locations based on the discovered boss locations for the user. How would you do it ?
EDIT - The variables have :
#boss_locations :
=> [#<BossLocation id: 670261930, name: "Fire Swamp", location_index: 1, min_level: 5, needed_gold_to_open: 500, created_at: "2011-05-18 05:35:48", updated_at: "2011-05-18 05:35:48">, #<BossLocation id: 723149845, name: "Rabbit Remains", location_index: 3, min_level: 15, needed_gold_to_open: 3000, created_at: "2011-05-18 05:35:48", updated_at: "2011-05-18 05:35:48">, #<BossLocation id: 81327760, name: "Grateful Plains", location_index: 2, min_level: 10, needed_gold_to_open: 1200, created_at: "2011-05-18 05:35:48", updated_at: "2011-05-18 05:35:48">]
#discovered :
=> [#<DiscoveredLocation id: 736487645, user_id: 986759322, boss_location_id: 670261930, created_at: "2011-05-22 05:37:01", updated_at: "2011-05-22 05:37:01">, #<DiscoveredLocation id: 736487646, user_id: 986759322, boss_location_id: 723149845, created_at: "2011-05-22 05:37:06", updated_at: "2011-05-22 05:37:06">, #<DiscoveredLocation id: 736487647, user_id: 986759322, boss_location_id: 81327760, created_at: "2011-05-22 06:01:35", updated_at: "2011-05-22 06:01:35">]
This is a lot of logic to put in a controller or view; consider creating a discovered? method on the BossLocation model. That way you could iterate through #boss_locations and call discovered? on each:
<% #boss_locations.each do |bl| %>
<div>
<%= "#{bl.name}: #{bl.discovered?(current_user)}" %>
</div>
<% end %>
The method would probably look like this:
class BossLocation < ActiveRecord::Base
def discovered?(user)
user.discovered_locations.map(&:boss_location).include?(self)
end
end
I commented above and you seemed to like the idea, so I wrote it out.
To encapsulate your data-model better, you'll want to modify your model class.
class BossLocation < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :discovered_locations
has_many :users, :through => :discovered_locations
def discovered_by?(user)
self.users.include?(user)
end
end
Then all you need in your controller is:
#boss_locations = BossLocation.order('min_level asc').all
And in your view:
<% #boss_locations.each do |boss_location| %>
<div>
<%= boss_location.name %>:
<%= boss_location.discovered_by?(current_user) ? 'Discovered' : 'Not Discovered' %>
</div>
<% end %>
As the objects in the two arrays are not identical, you might need to iterate in a custom way:
<% #boss_locations.each do |boss_location|
<div>
<%= boss_location.name %>:
<%= #discovered_boss_locations.inject('Not Discovered') { |result, element| result = 'Discovered' if element.boss_location_id == boss_location.id}
</div>
<% end %>
