This is the form that I made from Clients_indexI am using Elastic Search to find a client's name. I created a search for but as soon as you click search it takes me to a second page.
It takes me here
Here is my view for Clients/_index.html.erb
<label for="existing-ads-client-name" class="big">CLIENT INFORMATION</label><br>
<div class="existing-ads-client-name">
<%=form_tag clients_path,class: 'search-client', method: :get do |f| %>
<div id="client-name">
<%=text_field_tag :name, params[:name] %>
</div>
<%=button_tag "Search", class: 'btn btn-default', name: nil %>
<% end %>
</div>
I am rendering it from AdGroups/index.html.haml
<div class="module existing-ads">
<div class="first-column">
<div class="field-content">
=render 'clients/index'
And here is my Clients controller
class ClientsController < ApplicationController
def index
#clients = Client.search((params[:name].present? ? params[:name]: '*')).records
render :partial => 'clients/index', locals: {clients: #clients}
end
end
Any idea why?

I am trying to create a search page that searches through the model courses. Courses has a "name" column that lists the names of courses. I created a search controller and this is what I have on my search controller:
class SearchController < ApplicationController
def search
if params[:search].blank?
redirect_to(root_path, alert: "Empty field!") and return
else
#parameter = params[:search].downcase
#results = Courses.all.where("lower(name) LIKE :search", search: #parameter)
end
end
def show
render 'search'
end
end
I have under views/search a search.html.erb page. On this page I have
<%= form_tag(search_path, :method => "get",
class: 'navbar-form navbar-left') do %>
<div class="input-group">
<%= search_field_tag :search, params[:search], placeholder: "Search", class: "form-control" %>
<div class="input-group-btn">
<%= button_tag "", :class => 'btn btn-info glyphicon glyphicon-search',:name => nil%>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<h3>Search Result</h3>
<% #results.each do |result| %>
<%= result.name %><br>
<% end %>
However, I am getting the following error when I run my rails server and click on search and I am not sure why #results is null. Thanks for the help!
11: <h3>Search Result</h3>
12:
13: <% #results.each do |result| %>
14: <%= result.name %><br>
15: <% end %>
When the form provided in app/views/search/search.html.erb is submitted, the request is sent to show action by default. But the show action just renders the search view, no #results is assigned and the error occurs.
The search action seems unnecessary and you should use the show action instead. For example, rename app/views/search/search.html.erb to app/views/search/show.html.erb and move the search code to show action as below:
app/controllers/search_controller.rb
class SearchController < ApplicationController
def show
if params[:search].blank?
redirect_to(root_path, alert: "Empty field!")
else
#parameter = params[:search].downcase
#results = Courses.all.where("lower(name) LIKE :search", search: #parameter)
end
end
end
I have a Product (imovel) controller where the users can create his own Products (imovels). I am using devise for the authentication and the CRUD (create, Update, Delete) needs login. So for the clients be able to see the products and doesn't need a user, I created the Welcome controller where so it is the root.
In the Index of the Products I use Ransack to do the research in the table and works just fine. (very happy about it).
On the welcome controller I try to do the same thing, but when I submit the search the page gets redirect to the imovels#index.
Controller:
class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
def index
#q = Imovel.ransack(params[:q])
#imovel = #q.result(distinct: true)
end
end
View:
<div class="container text-center">
<%= search_form_for #q do |f| %>
# Search if the name field contains...
<%= f.label :descricao_cont %>
<%= f.search_field :descricao_cont %>
<%= f.submit "Pesquisar", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
</div>
Another thing that can be important in the index (imovels#index) there is a for in a tr and the information is filtered there:
Imovels Index
<tbody>
<% #imovels.each do |imovel| %>
<tr>
<td><%= imovel.id %></td>
<td><%= imovel.descricao %></td>
<% end %>
And in the welcome controller where I need the search, I used Divs:
Welcome Index
<% #imovels.each do |imovel| %>
<div class="card">
<div class="containerImovel">
<h4><b><%= imovel.descricao %></b></h4>
<p><%= imovel.cidade %> - <%= imovel.bairro.nome %> </p>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
How can I do the search on the divs of welcome controller? Ransack is the better option for it? It is possible to search in the has_many :through association?
Add a path for it in your routes.rb
resources :imovel do
collection do
match 'search' => 'welcome#search', via: [:get, :post], as: :search
end
end
and then add a new controller action to WelcomeController
def search
index
render :index
end
and afterwards modify the search form like so
<%= search_form_for #q, url: search_imovel_path, html: { method: :post } do |f| %>
Be sure to recheck the naming/variables as I'm not completely familiar with your app
I've been working on a social site using the Rails framework. I just finished setting up a form and was able to submit a couple subposts. It worked for a bit, but now when I submit a subpost using forms_for(#subpost), it attempts to submit a completely different form on a separate view. No clue why it would call a separate form that hasn't even been rendered but hoping someone can help.
SubPost Controller
class SubPostsController < ApplicationController
def create
#subpost = SubPost.new(sub_post_params)
if #subpost.save
Form I want to submit
<%= form_for(#subpost) do |z| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: z.object %>
<div class="field">
<!--<input type="text" name="sub_post[user_id]" value="<%# current_user %>" style="display:none;"/>-->
<input type="text" name="sub_post[micropost_id]" value="<%= micropost_id %>" style="display:none;"/>
<%= z.text_area :content, placeholder: "What's on your mind?" %>
</div>
<%= z.submit "Post", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
Updated to answer question
So basically I have my users personal page which displays their feed displaying a form under each post to submit a subpost. On the actual show page, there is no partial or render for post form, but that is what gets called each time I submit to the subpost form. The controller for the users page has two variables that I use to render the posts and subposts, #post = #user.posts.build and #subpost = #post.sub_posts.build
You can do something like this:
#some_controller.rb
def some_method
#posts = Post.all
SubPost.new
end
In your form you can use url option to take form parameters to create action. Assuming your routes are nested you can do something like this:
<% #posts.each do |post| %>
<%= form_for :subpost, url: some_path(#user, post) do |z| %>
// you need to replace some_path(#user,post) by your path helper
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: z.object %>
<div class="field">
<%= z.hidden_field :post_id, value: post.id %>
<%= z.text_area :content, placeholder: "What's on your mind?" %>
</div>
<%= z.submit "Post", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
I tried to set up a form which I wanted it to move to members#index.
But with the code①, I failed and the form moved to members#show.
☆code①
<%= form_tag :action => 'index' do %>
<div class = "field">
<%= label_tag 'place', '活動場所：' %><br />
<%= text_field_tag 'place' %>
</div>
<%= submit_tag '検索' %>
<% end %>
And I got some advice and fixed the code②.
I have a question. Why did I have to change the method from "post" to "get"?
☆code2
<div class= "form_index">
<%= form_tag({:action=>"index"}, {:method=>"get"}) do %>
<div class="from_field_index">
<%= label_tag 'place', '場所:' %>
<%= text_field_tag 'place' %>
</div>
<div class="search_button">
<%= submit_tag '検索' %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
☆members_controller
def index
if params[:place].present?
#members = Member.where("place like ?" , "%" + params[:place] + "%")
else
#members = Member.all
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json
end
end
GET implies to retrieve something from server. POST implies to add something to server.
Search will get some results from server, so the conventional way is to use GET on this action. Search form is the perfect example of form using GET.
Also, your controller action index responds to 'GET' only, defined by default resource route. It also need the request sent by your client side to be 'GET'.
Another benefit of using GET on search is, the params will be in url so the url is bookmarkable, shareable and history nagivatable. Think about Google, you can share a search result by just copying the link.
I am trying to submit info from a form in my view, that passes the submitted info :hashtag into the model and then runs the model with that info. But it seems thats my model just runs with the words "hashtag" instead of the form info. I believe it is close. I just can't figure out where to go next.
home.html.erb
<div class="row">
<div class="span6 offset2">
<%= form_for :hashtag do |f| %>
<div class="input-prepend input-append">
<span class="add-on swag">#</span>
<%= f.text_field :hashtag , class: "span3 inverse", id:"appendedPrependedInput" %>
<%= f.submit "Swag!", class: "btn btn-inverse" %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<div id="hashtags">
<% #random_hashtags.each do |hashtag| %>
<blockquote><%= hashtag.content %></blockquote>
<div class="from">— #<%= hashtag.screen_name %></div>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
</div>
hashtag.rb
class Hashtag < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :content, :profile_image, :screen_name, :tweet_date, :tweet_id
def self.pull_hashtag
Twitter.search("%#{hashtag}").results.map do |tweet|
unless exists?(tweet_id: tweet.id)
create!(
tweet_id: tweet.id,
content: tweet.text,
profile_image: tweet.profile_image_url,
screen_name: tweet.from_user,
tweet_date: tweet.created_at
)
end
end
end
end
hashtags_controller
class HashtagsController < ApplicationController
def home
#random_hashtags = Hashtag.order("RANDOM()").limit(4)
end
def create
#hashtag = Hashtag.pull_hashtag(params[:search])
end
end
Updated code that I am currently using now as I was not posting anything to the model
It is going though on submit but it seems nothing from there.
Update 2,
I am trying to post the information to the database, by taking the info from the form, running a Twitter.search on it and creating the results in my database.
Can you try to replace with this?
form_for #hashtag, :url => :action => 'home'
my guess is that the action needs to be specified.
