I'm using Twitter Bootstrap along with simple_form in Rails. For some reason I cannot get the Bootstrap class="lead" to function. I see in the rendered HTML some additional classes which I assume come from simple_form. How can I get the two to play together?
This is my code:
<p class="lead">
<%= sentence.input :dialog, :input_html => { :class => "span8" },
:placeholder => "Enter your sentence here", :label => false %>
</p>
And this is the rendered HTML:
<p class="lead">
<div class="control-group string optional">
<div class="controls"><input class="string optional span8" id="dialog_catagory_dialogs_attributes_0_dialog" name="dialog_catagory[dialogs_attributes][0][dialog]" placeholder="Enter your sentence here" size="50" type="text" />
</div>
</div>
</p>
EDIT
I've tried various options, including using the rendered HTML, like this and removing the divs. Still not working.
<p class="lead">
<input class="string optional span8" id="dialog_catagory_dialogs_attributes_0_dialog" name="dialog_catagory[dialogs_attributes][0][dialog]" placeholder="Enter your sentence here 2" size="50" type="text" />
</p>
output
<p class="lead">
<input id="dialog_catagory_dialogs_attributes_0_dialog" name="dialog_catagory[dialogs_attributes][0][dialog]" size="30" type="text" />
</p>
Here's the problem: Placing a div inside of a p element implicitly closes the p tag in standards-confirming browsers. ( Reference )
You can see (and modify locally, if you wish) the behavior of Simple Form's Bootstrap generators in this file on Github.

Using Rails 4, Simple_Form and Bootstrap 3, I am trying to get my output HTML look like this to work with some front end styling:
<div class="checkbox">
<input value="0" type="hidden" name="member[remember_me]">
<label class="boolean optional" for="member_remember_me">
<input type="checkbox" value="">
<i class="input-helper"></i>
Keep me signed in
</label>
</div>
In my form, I have this:
<%= f.input :remember_me, class: 'checkbox inline', type: 'checkbox', as: :boolean if devise_mapping.rememberable? %>
And I cannot figure out how to get the image tag to show up inside the input field. What I get when the form is generated is this (missing the image tag):
<div class="checkbox">
<input value="0" type="hidden" name="member[remember_me]">
<label class="boolean optional" for="member_remember_me">
<input class="boolean optional" type="checkbox" value="1" name="member[remember_me]" id="member_remember_me">Remember me
</label>
</div>
I've tried this block that I thought should do it, but alas, no:
<%= f.input :remember_me, class: 'checkbox inline', type: 'checkbox', as: :boolean if devise_mapping.rememberable? do %>
<i class="input-helper"></i>
<% end %>
Any suggestions? Do I need to write a custom wrapper to get the image tag to show?
One option to put content inside any rails tag is to use
"#{image_tag('filename.png')}".html_safe
in place of the text, or using raw().
I have a form created using Simple Form, as such
<%= simple_form_for #organisation do |f| %>
<div class="form-inputs">
<%= f.association :causes, as: :check_boxes %>
<div class="form-actions">
<%= f.button :submit %>
</div>
<% end %>
The page works fine when I use a browser, but when I try to check this with Capybara, such as:
check('organisation_cause_ids_1')
And have tried many variations of this e.g.
find(:xpath , '//*[#id="organisation_cause_ids_1"]').set(true)
find("organisation_cause_ids_1").check
These always give an error:
Failure/Error: check('organisation_cause_ids_1')
Capybara::ElementNotFound:
Unable to find checkbox "organisation_cause_ids_1"
The HTML generated by Simple Form is:
<div class="input check_boxes optional organisation_causes">
<label class="check_boxes optional">Causes</label>
<span class="checkbox">
<label for="organisation_cause_ids_1" name="organisation[cause_ids]">
<input class="check_boxes optional" id="organisation_cause_ids_1" name="organisation[cause_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="1" />Cause A</label>
</span>
<span class="checkbox">
<label for="organisation_cause_ids_2" name="organisation[cause_ids]">
<input class="check_boxes optional" id="organisation_cause_ids_2" name="organisation[cause_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="2" />Hunger</label>
</span>
...
Edit: The problem was due to the lazy loading of the 'Causes' I created with the factories. They weren't being created so the page had no checkboxes.
Try with this
find_by_id('organisation_cause_ids_1').find("checkbox[value='1']").select_option
or maybe with this
find(:css, ".check_boxes[value='1']").set(true)
I'm trying to make a simple form with this general structure:
o accept o decline
[submit]
when the radio button accept is checked and submit pressed, I want it to change the state of my model (called Offer here).
BUT when the button decline is checked, the form needs to change to something like this:
o accept x decline
Please enter reason here: [text box]
[submit]
Having entered a (mandatory) reason for declining and pressing submit, will change the state of the model Offer too, but differently.
I'm currently having problems getting the form to display the way I want. I'm using SimpleForm and tried something like this:
<%= simple_form_for #offer do |f| %>
<%= f.input accepts, as: :radio_buttons %>
<%= f.input :r_comment, as: :text, :label => 'Please enter reason here:' , :input_html => { :rows => 2, } %>
<%= f.button :submit %>
<% end %>
This of course doesn't work, because there is no "accepts" method or variable defined for offers (and it shouldn't be!). As for dynamically showing the input text box, I don't even have the slightest clue.
I'd be glad for any help you might offer,

UPDATE: HTML generated by simple_form
<div class="control-group radio_buttons optional">
<label class="radio_buttons optional control-label">Accept?</label>
<div class="controls">
<label class="radio">
<input class="radio_buttons optional" id="offer_accepts_decline" name="offer[accepts]" type="radio" value="Decline" />
Decline
</label>
<label class="radio">
<input class="radio_buttons optional" id="offer_accepts_accept" name="offer[accepts]" type="radio" value="Accept" />
Accept
</label>
</div>
UPDATE: HTML generated for comment box
<div class="control-group text optional">
<label class="text optional control-label" for="offer_r_comment">Reason for rejection:</label>
<div class="controls">
<textarea class="text optional" cols="40" id="offer_r_comment" name="offer[r_comment]" rows="2">
</textarea>
</div>
</div>
i'm not a fan of formtastic or simple_form but looking at the documentation, you should be able to do the following
# offer.rb
attr_accessor :accepts
# view
<%= f.input :accepts, as: :radio_buttons, collection: ['Decline', 'Accept'] %>
# js which can be placed inline or in the assets. let's use coffee
# you should also limit the selector below to include the class or the id of the
# radio buttons. I'm also not familiar with the html generated by simple form so
# the selectors to show and hide should also be changed.
$ ->
$(':radio').change ->
if $(this).prop('checked')
if $(this).val() == 'Accept'
$('#offer_r_comment').show()
else
$('#offer_r_comment').hide()
UPDATE: non coffee version. you can place this inside a script tag and just throw in the view.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(':radio').change(function() {
if ($(this).prop('checked'))
if ($(this).val() == 'Accept')
$('#offer_r_comment').show();
else
$('#offer_r_comment').hide();
});
});
I want to append an icon to a SimpleForm form field using Twitter Bootstrap. Here is the solution that I found in another SO question:
<div class="input-append date" id="birthday-picker" data-date="06-04-1986" data-date-format="dd-mm-yyyy">
<%= f.input :birthday, :wrapper => :append do %>
<%= f.input_field :birthday, as: :string, placeholder: "06-04-1986", readonly: true %>
<span class="add-on"><i class="icon-th"></i></span>
<% end %>
</div>
However, when I add this piece of code to my form, the validation kicks in but the message is not shown for that particular field. Any ideas on what's happening please?
Update
Here is the HTML generated:
<div class="input-append date" id="birthday-picker" data-date="06-04-1986" data-date-format="dd-mm-yyyy">
<div class="control-group date required error">
<label class="date required control-label" for="user_birthday">Birthday <abbr title="required">*</abbr></label>
<div class="controls"><div class="input-append">
<input class="string required readonly" id="user_birthday" name="user[birthday]" readonly="readonly" size="50" type="text" value="31-03-2012">
<span class="add-on"><i class="icon-th"></i></span>
</div>
<span class="help-inline">You are too young</span>
</div>
</div>
As you can see, the error message is generated. But for some reason, the span that contains the error message gets applied the following styles:
.input-append, .input-prepend {
font-size: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Even though it's outside the input-append div... Any ideas what's happening?
Update 2
The error message was in fact in an input-append div, which I removed. Now the error message appears but it's below the input, not inline like regular inputs...
Im trying to use css to make all the fields for my form display on one line. It's part of the header nav on my page so it is important that it shows on one line instead of multiple lines.
Here's my header code at the moment.
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<a class="btn btn-navbar" data-target=".nav-collapse" data-toggle="collapse">
<span class="i-bar"></span>
<span class="i-bar"></span>
<span class="i-bar"></span>
</a>
<a class="brand" href="/">Bandini</a>
<div class="container nav-collapse">
<ul class="nav">
<li><%= link_to "Clients", "/clients" %></li>
<li><%= link_to "Jobs", "/jobs" %></li>
</ul>
<ul class="user_nav">
<%= render :partial => "sessions/manager" %>
</ul>
</div><!--/.nav-collapse -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
The <%= render :partial => "sessions/manager" %> part points to a partial which displayes another partial depending on the users login state.
If they are logged out, then it displays the login form and if they are logged in then it shows th currrent users email adress and a signout link.
Here's my login form.
<%= simple_form_for("user", :url => user_session_path, :html => {:id => "sign_in", :class => 'form-inline' }, :remote => true, :format => :json) do |f| %>
<%= f.input :email, :placeholder => 'Email' %>
<%= f.input :password, :placeholder => 'Password' %>
<%= f.submit 'Login' %>
<%= link_to "Forgot your password?", new_password_path('user') %>
<% end %>
The form utilizes ajax and the simple_form gem for all the markup.
Ive tried playing around in Googles element tools and adding display: inline; to all of my input fields but no such luck.
Can anyone assist or point me in the right direction?
Edit: HTML generated..
<ul class="user_nav">
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/users/sign_in" class="simple_form form-inline" data-remote="true" id="sign_in" method="post" novalidate="novalidate"><div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline"><input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="✓" /><input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="fN0oKIlpnhS0WLZpKQafln+182IT1ONVuDP0eRtT8fg=" /></div>
<div class="control-group email required"><label class="email required control-label" for="user_email"><abbr title="required">*</abbr> Email</label><div class="controls"><input class="string email required" id="user_email" name="user[email]" placeholder="Email" size="50" type="email" /></div></div>
<div class="control-group password required"><label class="password required control-label" for="user_password"><abbr title="required">*</abbr> Password</label><div class="controls"><input class="password required" id="user_password" name="user[password]" placeholder="Password" size="50" type="password" /></div></div>
<input name="commit" type="submit" value="Login" />
Forgot your password?
</form>
</ul>
The reason display: inline; on your inputs is not working is because simple_form by default wraps a div tag around every input. There are two ways to fix this problem:
Create a custom wrapper for simple_form
https://github.com/plataformatec/simple_form#the-wrappers-api
Set both your inputs and the surrounding div to be inline-block:
.user_nav div, .user_nav input, .user_nav input[type="submit"] {
display: inline-block;
}
While the .user_nav input css style theoretically should not be necessary, it helps to specify it just in case there is some other CSS rule somewhere setting inputs to block. If you're sure that inputs are behaving normally, then you should be able to remove the second part of the CSS definition above.
By what documentation says http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#navbar
Just add navbar-form class to your form and pull-left or pull-right
Also you should place it inside a li tag since you are placing it inside a ul
