I have a form as follows:
<%= form_for(#car, :html => {:class => 'form-horizontal' }) do |f| %>
<% if #car.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#car.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this car from being saved</h2>
<ul>
<% #car.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :price %><br />
<%= f.text_field :price %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :model_year %><br />
<% %>
<% end %>
</div>
I want to have a collection select for the model year starting 100 years back and going to a year in the future. I have tried
<%= f.select_year :model_year%>
but it says that select_year is not a valid method. Tried
<%= f.date :model_year, :discard_month => true %>
also to no avail. Any thoughts?
select_year is a helper that generates a full select tag with options. Since you're using form_for instead of form_tag, you'll want to use a helper that can be called on a form builder object.
<%= f.select :model_year, (Time.zone.now.year - 100)..(Time.zone.now.year + 1) %>

I'm playing around with Form Helpers. I found some code from another SO question and thought it was pretty efficient at creating radio buttons with an elegant loop. Now that I've incorporated it, it doesn't save the data (e.g. the category value is not being saved to the project table)
Please see code below of _form.html.erb
<%= form_for(#project) do |f| %>
<% if #project.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#project.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this project from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #project.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
<li><%= message %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :title %><br>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
</div>
<div class="form_row">
<label for="category">Category:</label>
<% [ 'checklist', 'process'].each do |category| %>
<br><%= radio_button_tag 'category', category, #category == category %>
<%= category.humanize %>
<% end %>
<br>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :description %><br>
<%= f.text_field :description %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
Your radio button parameter is being created outside of the project structure. If you look at params, you'll probably see
{:category => "your_category", :project => {...project params...}}
It is because you're using the radio_button_tag instead of the regular form helper. Try this instead:
f.radio_button :category, category, :checked => (#category == category)
Also, as Justin said, make sure :category is included in the project_params in your controller.
I know you are usually supposed to use the linking between new/create and edit/update in rails, but I have a case where I need something else. Is there anyway I can achieve this same connection?
I have a form for a model and I want it to post the data (similar to how a new view, post to the create action).
Here is my form
<div id="new-job">
<%= form_for(#job) do |f| %>
<% if #job.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#job.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this job from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #job.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 :location %><br />
<%= f.text_field :location %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :description %><br />
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "create job", id: "submit-job", class: "button small radius" %>
<%= link_to "go back", jobs_path, class: "button small radius secondary" %>
<div id="new-job-errors"> </div>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
Use the :url option.
= form_for #job, :url => company_path, :html => { :method => :post/:put }
I have a view where I need to show a list of pages (I have a model called Page) and then i need the id of the selected page
I have this code in the view
مهمة جديدة
: <%= form_for :task, :url => {:action=>"create", :controller=>"tasks"}, :html => {:class :
=> "nifty_form"} do |f| %>
<% if #task.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2>: عذرا لم نستطع استكمال طلبك</h2>
<ul>
<% #task.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li style="color:red;"><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label "اسم المهمة" %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label "وصف المهمة" %><br />
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<button><%= link_to 'العودة الى قائمة المهام', project_tasks_path %></button>
<%= f.submit "مهمة جديدة"%>
</div>
<%= select_tag(:page, options_for_select(['a',1])) %>
<% end %>
#pageslist is a 2d array of the form [['pagename', 1], ..]
The question is how can i access the page_id of the selected page in the controller ?
I tried params[:p_id] but it is not working any help please?
This is what I have in the controller:
#task = Project.find(params[:project_id]).tasks.new(params[:task])
#task.update_attributes({:page_id => params[:p_id]})
Assuming that #pagelist is in a format as you described, then in your view:
<%= select_tag(:page, options_for_select( #pagelist )) %>
You had missed it in your example, and provided only 1d array for options_for_select.
With such prepared view your create action will receive page id in:
params[:page]
it's because you had passed :page as a first argument for select_tag.
Given the following form:
<%= form_for(#ciudad) do |f| %>
<% if #ciudad.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#ciudad.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this ciudad from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #ciudad.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :nombre %><br />
<%= f.text_field :nombre %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :departamento_id %><br />
<%= f.select :departamento_id , :prompt => "Seleccione el municipio" %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
How would I populate the options for the deparamento_id select tag from a database?
The simplest way to do that is to use f.collection_select instead of f.select. Assuming you have a table / model named Departamento with a field called nombre:
<%= f.collection_select :departamento_id, Departamento.all, :id, :nombre, :prompt => "Seleccione el municipio" %>
You can read more about it in the official Rails Guides here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html#option-tags-from-a-collection-of-arbitrary-objects
And in the API documentation:

I have a model called posts, and it has many attachments.
The attachments model is using paperclip.
I made a standalone model for creating attachments which works just fine, this is the view as instructed here (https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip):
<% form_for :attachment, #attachment, :url => #attachment, :html => { :multipart => true } do |form| %>
<%= form.file_field :pclip %>
<%= form.submit %>
<% end %>
The nested form in posts looks like this:
<% #attachment = #posts.attachments.build %>
<%= form_for(#posts) do |f| %>
<% if #posts.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#posts.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this post from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #posts.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.fields_for :attachments, #attachment, :url => #attachment, :html => { :multipart => true } do |at_form| %>
<%= at_form.file_field :pclip %>
<% end %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
An attachment record is created, but its empty. The file is not uploaded. The post meanwhile, is successfully created...
Any ideas?
You are missing the :multipart option in your form definition:
<% #attachment = #post.attachments.build %>
<%= form_for #post, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<% if #post.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#post.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this post from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #post.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.fields_for :attachments, #attachment do |at_form| %>
<%= at_form.file_field :pclip %>
<% end %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
Also, your #posts variable should really be #post (single ActiveRecord instance as opposed to an array of ActiveRecord instances).
