I want to order users by descending. However, when I add .reverse it reverses the users a page at a time, not all together.
show_followers:
<%= render #users.reverse %>
<%= will_paginate %>
Users/_user:
<%= link_to user.name, user %>
<% unless #user.nil? %>
<% if request.path == "/users/#{#user.id}/listening_to" %>
<br/>
<span id="member_since"><%= "Listening Since" %> <%= #user.relationships.find_by_followed_id(user.id).created_at.strftime("%b. %d, %Y") %></span>
<% end %>
<% if request.path == "/users/#{#user.id}/listeners" %>
<br/>
<span id="member_since"><%= "Listener Since" %> <%= user.relationships.find_by_followed_id(#user.id).created_at.strftime("%b. %d, %Y") %></span>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Controller:
#users = #user.followed_users.paginate(page: params[:page])
It seems Rails intelligently orders by the relationships_create like I wanted but it's in ascending order. I want the most recent follower to show up on the top of the list.
In the controller action, you probably have some code that looks something like this: #users = User.paginate(:page => params[:page]).
You need to put the reverse in that statement, so it looks like this: #users = User.paginate(:page => params[:page]).order('id DESC') (perhaps with id replaced by created_at).
#users = #user.followed_users.reverse.paginate(page: params[:page])
Reverse at the controller level prior to pagination

I currently use EasyAutoComplete for a search form. If you hit 'View All' it redirects to the same page but with params[:name] to show all cards.
I render this with:
<% #cards.in_groups_of(6, false).each do |group| %>
<div class='row'>
<% group.each do |card| %>
<div class='col-sm-2 col-md-2'>
<div class="wrapperImg">
<%= link_to image_tag(card.image_url, class: "img-responsive"), {:controller => "cards", :action => "show", :id => card.id }%>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
However, if you look up a specific set of cards it's going to return a couple hundred (or more) of essentially the same card. I can identify these cards by a parameter(rarity)
I was originally going to try to modify it in the controller, but that is an issue because the 'def index' makes the EasyAutoComplete work
def index
wild_search = "%#{params[:name]}%"
#cards = Card.order(multiverse_id: :desc).limit(30)
# debugger
##cards = #cards.where("name like :name", name: wild_search).page(params[:page]) if params[:name]
#cards = #cards.where("name like :name OR setName like :name", name: wild_search).page(params[:page]) if params[:name]
end
Is there a way for me to do something like
cards = #cards.where('rarity IS NOT ?', 'Land') or something similar in the view, then modify my output from #cards.in_group_of to cards.in_group_of? Or is there a way to use the Controller to do this and use def search instead of def index?
Welcome any input.
Like this?
<% #cards.where.not(rarity: "Land").in_groups_of(6, false).each do |group| %>

I have created a simple appointment system, and I now need to display something inside a loop if there's two or more appointments with the same date and time. The appointments are displayed in order of time, so they're just appearing one after the other.
Controller
def index
#todays_apps = current_user.appointments.order(time ASC)
end
View
<% #todays_apps.each do |app| %>
<%= app.business_name %>
<%= app.business_address %>
<%= app.time %>
<% end %>
I'm looking to display a message or icon the appointment shares a date and time with another appointment. Tried a collection of things with no luck.
You can group your collection by time and modify your iteration accordingly. You can group it like
#todays_apps.group_by(&:time)
The outcome will be something like
=> { timestamp1 => [app1,app2], timestamp2 => [app3], timestamp3 => [app4]}
Or you can try a quick hacky way like:
<% previous_time = nil %>
<% #todays_apps.each do |app| %>
<%= app.business_name %>
<%= app.business_address %>
<%= 'Your message or class or anything' if previous_time == app.time %>
<%= previous_time = app.time %>
<% end %>
Try Like this:
controller:
def index
#appointments = current_user.appointments.order("time ASC")
#todays_apps = #appointments.group_by(&:time)
end
View:
<% #todays_apps.each do |time, appointments| %>
<%= time %>
<% appointments.each do |appointment| %>
<%= appointment.business_name %>
<%= appointment.business_address %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
It will list all the appointments for particular time.
Thanks
I am trying to implement search functionality in my rails app where I search and display a particular search result first on my index.html.erb view. At the moment I have a search function working and it returns the particular item on its own on the index page.
Ideally I would like to have this item displayed first and then all the other items to display below.
My code is as follows:
brand.rb
def self.search(query)
where("author like ?", "%#{query}%")
end
brand_controller.rb
def index
if params[:search]
#brand = Brand.search(params[:search]).order("created_at DESC")
else
#brand = Brand.all.order(':date')
end
end
I know the where method returns the value as an array so I could probably use array.first to output this result first but is there an easier way to output my desired view. Thanks!
So turned out to be a pretty simple solution, I blame mondays.
All I had to do was create another variable for my search and iterate that result first, then iterate through the rest of the items.
in my controller
def index
#brand = Brand.order('created_at DESC')
if params[:search]
#brand = Brand.search(params[:search]).order("author DESC")
#other = Brand.search_all(params[:search]).order("author DESC")
else
#brand = Brand.all.order('author DESC')
end
end
In my model
def self.search(query)
where("author like ?", "%#{query}%")
end
def self.search_all(query)
where("author not like ?", "%#{query}%")
end
and finally in my view
<% if #brand.any? %>
<% #brand.in_groups_of(2) do |group| %>
<% group.each do |brand| %>
<% if brand %>
<h4> <%= brand.author %></h4>
<a href="<%=brand_path(brand)%>">
<%=image_tag brand.brand_logo, class: 'img-rounded', :"data-uid" => brand.uid %> </a>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% if #other %>
<% #other.in_groups_of(2) do |group| %>
<% group.each do |other| %>
<% if other %>
<h4> <%= other.author%></h4>
<a href="<%=brand_path(other)%>">
<%=image_tag other.brand_logo %> </a>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
I setup a search on my Products index page with PgSearch and Will-Paginate like this:
ProductsController
def index
#products = Product.text_search(params[:query]).page(params[:page]).per_page(5)
end
Products Model
include PgSearch
pg_search_scope :search,
def self.text_search(query)
if query.present?
search(query)
else
scoped
end
end
Product index page
<%= form_tag products_path, method: :get do %>
<%= text_field_tag :query, params[:query] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", name: nil %>
<% end %>
<% if #products.blank? %>
No Results
<% else %>
<% #products.each do |product| %>
<%= product.name %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
But the problem I'm having now is that when I go to the Product index page, it shows all of the products when I want it to show nothing until a search is done. If the search is blank, return No Results but when you first hit the page it should show nothing. How would this be done?
You probably want to only run a text_search when a search parameter is present. You can put this logic into the view, the controller, or in the model.
In the view
<% if params[:query].present? %>
<% if #products.blank? %>
No Results
<% else %>
<% #products.each do |product| %>
<%= product.name %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
In the controller
def index
if params[:query].present?
#products = Product.text_search(params[:query]).page(params[:page]).per_page(5)
else
#products = Product.none # NOTE: Rails 4 only
end
end
In the model
# create a new method to encapsulate this search logic then use it in the controller
def self.search(value)
if value.present?
Product.text_search(value)
else
Product.none # NOTE: Rails 4 only
end
end
The old saying goes "fat model, skinny controller" so you might want to opt for the model method which will keep your controller and views simpler.
Put your display logic inside an if statement:
<% if params[:query].present? %>
<% if #products.blank? %>
No Results
<% else %>
<% #products.each do |product| %>
<%= product.name %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Although I'm not familiar with how pg search works, you could do something like this in your method.
It's a nice refactoring as well as it avoids checking for existence and making decisions on params (code smell)
def self.text_search(query = "")
search(query)
end
As I said, not sure how pg_search works. Maybe when you browse for nothing, it returns all records. If that's the case, you can just have it return an empty array. Something like this would do
def self.text_search(query)
return [] if query.nil?
search(query)
end
I imagine this has a rather simple answer
<% for user in #users %>
<li>
<%= link_to user.username, user %>
</li>
<% end %>
Taking my simple example above, how would I apply a class to my <li> to the first three instances returned?
Secondly, how could I just have the the second two items have a different class from the first one? as in 1..2
Either you could count manually (which is kinda ugly):
<% i = 0 %>
<% for user in #users %>
<li class=<%= (i < 3 ? "foo" : "bar") %>>
<%= link_to user.username, user %>
</li>
<% i = i.next %>
<% end %>
or use each_with_index
<% #users.each_with_index do |user, i| %>
<li class=<%= (i < 3 ? "foo" : "bar") %>>
<%= link_to user.username, user %>
</li>
<% end %>
Once you get to more complex things than i < 3 (like your 1..2 issue) you should think about a helper_method (in helpers) like class_by_position(pos) so that you can write
<li class=<%= class_by_position(i) %>>
The :first-child pseudoselector might be a better way to go, but you'll need to have a counter variable that keeps track of the iterations to do it your way.
Your question is a little vague. I can't tell if you want to stop processing the array after the first x, or not.
If you're just looking to stop after the first x items, or just looking for the 2nd and 3rd items the solution is to use a slice.
Example: just the first 3:
#user[0,3].each do |user|
... # only executed for user = #user[0],user = #user[1] and user = #user[3]
end
Example: just the second and third:
#user[1,2].each do |user|
... #only only executed for user = #user[1] and user = #user[3]
end
And here's a more specific answer to your question using these new concepts and the content_tag to programatically decide the class of the list item. If you're going to be doing this often, makes a great candidate for a function.
<% first = true %>
<% #user[0,2].each do |user| %>
<% content_tag :li,
:class => first ? "class-for-first-item" : "class-for-2nd-&-3rd" do %>
<%= link_to user.username, user %>
<% end %>
<% first = false %>
<% end %>
<!-- Now to do the rest of them:-->
<% #user[3,-1].each do |user| %>
<% content_tag :li, :class => "class-for-rest" do %>
<%= link_to user.username, user %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
