I'm working on a advanced search form. I am working in views/searches. Now I have attributes created for user profiles that I have been using such as zip code, age, gender, career, religion, education, etc. I want to use these fields for my advanced search.
When I include the f.label and text fields I get a undefined method. I'm hoping I don't have to recreate each attribute for the search form, as that would not make much sense considering I have already done all these attributes for the user profile. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
/searches/new.html (for search):
<%= form_for #search do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :keywords %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :keywords%>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :zip_code %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :zip_code %>
</div>
<div class="actions"><%= f.submit "Search" %></div>
<% end %>
/users/new.html (for the user profile):
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<% if #user.errors.any? %>
<div class="error_messages">
<h2>Form is invalid</h2>
<ul>
<% #user.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
<li><%= message %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :email %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :email %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :password %><br/>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :username %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :username %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :zip_code %><br/>
<%= f.text_field :zip_code %>
</div>
</div>
<div class="field">I'm a
<%= f.select :gender, ['man', 'woman']%>
interested in
<%= f.select :gender, ['women', 'men', 'both']%>
</div>
<div class="field">
Age <%= select(#object, :age, (18..75).to_a) %> to <%= select(#object, :age, (18..75).to_a) %>
</div>
<div class="actions"><%= f.submit %></div>
<% end %>
Your #search object is a Search object (or whatever it actually is), not a User.
Rails doesn't know your Search object doesn't actually have those fields, so when it tries to retrieve the fields that don't exist, it'll blow up.
There are any number of ways around this, including giving your Search a User property.
You could also create a new User and pass it to a user form partial as f, that's probably the approach I would take, although I don't know precisely what it would look like without trying it.

I have to pass a value in a form where the user cannot to choose. I have a Register model with some fields. One of them is a value from another Model called Car. I show in the _form view the car plate value but I want to link this value in the form This is the code in _form :
<%= form_for(#reg) do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<p><%= f.label :date %></p><br>
<%= f.date_field :date_reg %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<p><%= f.label :car_id %></p><br>
<% Car.all.each do |car| %>
<%= car.plate %>
<%= f.select(:driver_id,
options_from_collection_for_select(Driver.all, :id,
:name), {:prompt => 'Please Choose'}, :class => "form-
control") %><br>
<% end %>
</div>
<div class="field">
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
Thanks all
I have a classic form_for:
<div class="field">
<%= f.label "Modèle" %>
<%= f.text_field :model, required: true %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label "Immatriculation" %>
<%= f.text_field :license_plate, required: true %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label "Complément" %>
<%= f.text_field :complement, required: true%>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label "Puissance CV" %>
<%= f.number_field :horse_power, required: true %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label "Indemnité KM" %>
<%= f.number_field :km_compensation, required: true%>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit 'Sauvegarder' %>
</div>
I would like to use another model inside this view, that would also update when the user clicks the submit button. I know this has to do with nested forms but I'm a little confused about how to implement it. Here's the variable from the second model that I would like to add:
<% #trip_distances.each do |t| %>
<%= form_for(t) do |e| %>
<div class="field">
<%= e.text_field t.id_contract %>
<%= e.number_field t.length %>
</div>
<% end %>
Obviously this is not correct. I guess I need to use the field_for method?
Firstly, consider using simple_form gem, as it cleans up a bit the code, and is overall more developer-friendly :)
Then in your view you will have something like
<%= simple_form_for sth do |form| %>
<% form.input :attributeUno %>
<% form.input :length %>
...
Then to add to this form inputs for nested element add simple_fields_for
<% #trip_distances.each do |t|
<%= form.simple_fields_for t do |fields| %>
<% fields.input :length %>
...
And don't forget to add
accepts_nested_attributes_for :something in your model :)
PS: You should also consider using slim or haml to make creating views a bit easier, and also clean them up :)
I have a Model "Startup" and I have a other Model "Categorie". The two tables are associated.
I'd like call the data of Categoria through to form of Startup, this categories displayed with a checkbox. Inside the form Startup Form I have the categorie_id. This is the code
<%= form_for(#startup) do |f| %>
<% if #startup.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(#startup.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this startup from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% #startup.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :description %><br />
<%= f.text_area :description %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.collection_select :round_id, Round.order(:name), :id, :name, include_blank: true %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :category %><br />
<%= f.text_field :category_id %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.collection_select :country_id, Country.order(:name), :id, :name, include_blank: true %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %> </div> <% end %>
How to display the data of Categories within form with a checkboxs ?
Any idea.
pdt: My english is really bad.
If a Startup can have only one Category, you can do like this in your view:
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :category %><br />
<%= f.collection_select :category_id, Category.all, :id , :name %>
</div>
This will output a dropdown menu with all the categories. Make sure that the Category model has the attribute name.
As you said, a Startup belongs to one Category, so using radiobuttons (checkboxes are here for multiple relation, means you could choose multiple categories):
<div class="field">
<% Category.all.each do |category| %>
<%= f.radio_button :category_id, category.id %>
<%= f.label :category_id, category.name %>
<% end %>
</div>
You may have to add <br /> tags, and html options to make it looks better.
As MrYoshiji says, you can use:
It will display the category name on the screen, and the value sent will be the id.
You can find more details here : http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html#method-i-collection_select
I advise you to use the simple_form gem to generate your form. It's a very simple gem to use and customize ! look at it ;)
I have a form that I copied over from new.html.erb and put it in edit.html.erb. I essentially want the same form, but if there are values already in the database for the form fields I want them to be pulled into the form for editing. I currently have something like this:
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<% if #user.errors.any? %>
<div class="error_messages">
<h2>Form is invalid</h2>
<ul>
<% for message in #user.errors.full_messages %>
<li><%= message %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :email %>
<%= f.text_field :email %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :password %>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :password_confirmation %>
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
</div>
.
.
.
.
<div class="actions"><%= f.submit %></div>
<% end %>
How can I pull from the the database to fill in the fields with appropriate values?
This will happen automatically if you set #user in the 'edit' action of your controller - something like
def edit
#user = User.find(params[:id])
end
you might also think about including the form as a partial rather than repeating it to DRY up your code - this link gives the general idea

I have a 1:1 association between User and Profile.
When I submit the new profile form, the data I've entered is displayed just fine (see screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/fY8YU.png), but when I refresh it the data is instantly wiped.
Could anyone tell me what is causing this?
Here's the submit form:
<%= form_for([#user, #user.build_profile]) do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :first_name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :first_name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :last_name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :last_name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :picture %><br />
<%= f.text_field :picture %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.radio_button(:sex, "male") %>
<%= f.label(:sex, "Male") %>
<%= f.radio_button(:sex, "female") %>
<%= f.label(:sex, "Female") %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
Here's the users_controller: https://github.com/imjp/SuperModel/blob/master/app/controllers/users_controller.rb
Here's the profiles_controller: https://github.com/imjp/SuperModel/blob/master/app/controllers/profiles_controller.rb
I'm not sure I agree with your approach. Why don't you do something like this:
In models/user.rb:
accepts_nested_attributes_for :profile
In controllers/users_controller.rb:
def new
#user = User.new
#user.build_profile
end
In views/users/_form.html.erb:
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :first_name %>
<%= f.fields_for :profile do |pf| %>
<%= pf.text_field :some_profile_field %>
<% end -%>
<%- end -%>
This isn't copied or tested, but it should work. On saving your user, the profile fields are sent along and validated with the user fields and are re-rendered when rendering the form again after a save error. This way you will keep full control over your form and its contents with minimal effort.
