Search ignoring certain blank parameters - ruby-on-rails

I have a simple search action that has 3 parameters and a where method to search a model. If I search and some of the parameters are nil, it will not return the records I want. I want it to search the database by only using the parameters that are not nil/blank. So if only one category is entered and sent in the parameters, I want my controller to ignore the other two parameters. However, if the other parameters are present, I want them to be included in the search.
I've tried many approaches but I can't get it to work properly. Here's my code.
hash = []
cat = :category_id => params[:category_id]
col = :color_id => params[:color_id]
brand = :brand_id => params[:brand_id]
if params[:category_id].present?
hash += cat
end
if params[:color_id].present?
hash += col
end
if params[:brand_id].present?
hash += brand
end
#results = Piece.where(hash).preload(:item).preload(:user).group(:item_id).paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 9)
I've put the variables into strings and hashs, called to_a, joined them with (","). Nothing works.
Thanks

Try this code.
criteria = { :category_id => params[:category_id], :color_id => params[:color_id],
:brand_id => params[:brand_id] }.select { |key,value| value.present? }
#results = Piece.where(criteria).preload(:item).preload(:user).group(:item_id).
paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 9)

Rails - Iterate thru Multiple Arrays

I'm looking for a more DRY way to iterate through some code. I have a User model and I want to keep count of certain Users in a ReportRecord model (for reporting).
I have a defined list of values of User.names that I want to record (i.e. "Jan", "Lisa", "Tina"). How can I make this code more DRY as the list is much longer than three values?
#users = User.all
#users.each do |u|
# this part repeats with different names
quantity = u.where("name = ?", "Jan").count
ReportRecord.create(:user_id => u.id, :name => "Jan", :quantity => quantity)
# repeated code with different name
quantity = u.where("name = ?", "Lisa").count
ReportRecord.create(:user_id => u.id, :name => "Lisa", :quantity => quantity)
# repeated code with different name
quantity = u.where("name = ?", "Tina").count
ReportRecord.create(:user_id => u.id, :name => "Tina", :quantity => quantity)
end
I would sum all users first (1 query instead of 3):
quantity_by_name = User.select(:name).where(name: %w(Jan List Tina))
.group(:name).sum(:quantity)
#=> { 'Lisa' => 1, 'Jan' => 2, 'Tina' => 3 }
quantity_by_name.each do |name, quantity|
ReportRecord.create(name: name, quantity: quantity)
end
names = %w(Jan List Tina)
names.each do |name|
count = User.where(name: name).count
ReportRecord.create(name: name, quantity: count) # I don't understand `u.id`
end

How to add a simple drop down in rails for pages

I used will_paginate to paginate, now I want to control how many records in one page.
I do know how to interact data from the select_tag. please tell me how to return the data to
#page in controller.
I used
<td><%= select_tag "count", "<option>10</option> <option>20</option>".html_safe%></td>
Controller
def index
#page = 10;
#users = User.order(:username).joins(:biography).where("`is_active?` = true AND `last_sign_in_at` > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 6 MONTH) ").paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => #page)
end
You can use the params[:count] like this to get the number of records per page based on the value selected in the select_tag
def index
#page = params[:count] #here
#users = User.order(:username).joins(:biography).where("is_active? = true AND last_sign_in_at > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 6 MONTH) ").paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => #page)
end

Rails - Building a JSON object with multiple items

currently I am creating a JSON object as follows:
#comments = Array.new
comments.collect do |comment|
#comments << {
:id => comment.id,
:content => html_format(comment.content),
:created_at => comment.created_at
}
end
#comments.to_json
And this returns something like this:
[{"created_at":"2011-03-02T09:17:27-08:00","content":"<p>Random.......</p>","id":734}, {"created_at":"2011-03-02T09:17:27-08:00","content":"<p>asdasd.......</p>","id":714}, {"created_at":"2011-03-01T09:17:27-08:00","content":"<p>Random.......</p>","id":134}, {"created_at":"2011-03-01T02:17:27-08:00","content":"<p>dasdasdasdasd.......</p>","id":3124}]
Problem here is that I need to include a few other items that aren't arrays. What I would like is the JSON object to look something like this:
[comments: {"created_at":"2011-03-02T09:17:27-08:00","content":"<p>Random.......</p>","id":734}, {"created_at":"2011-03-02T09:17:27-08:00","content":"<p>asdasd.......</p>","id":714}, {"created_at":"2011-03-01T09:17:27-08:00","content":"<p>Random.......</p>","id":134}, {"created_at":"2011-03-01T02:17:27-08:00","content":"<p>dasdasdasdasd.......</p>","id":3124}, last_load: "123123123123", last_view: "zxczcxzxczxc"]
Any ideas on how I can take what I have above, and expand it to pass additional items other than the comments array?
Thank you!
Add your list to a hash, and then call to_json on the hash.
> a = [1,2,3]
=> [1, 2, 3]
> h = {:comments => a, :foo => "bar"}
=> {:foo=>"bar", :comments=>[1, 2, 3]}
> h.to_json
=> "{\"foo\":\"bar\",\"comments\":[1,2,3]}"

How to show foreign key relationship data in jqgrid?

I know how to access foreign key attributes in a scaffold index view. I can simply refer to the attributes using dot notation such as property.que.name. Given the following models:
class Priority < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :que
...
end
class Que < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :priorities
...
end
In the index view, I can do something like this to get the name value:
<td><%=h priority.que ? priority.que.name : "" %></td>
How do I do this in the jqgrid?
I tried this but the jqgrid comes back empty:
Priorities Controller:
#priorities = Priority.find(:all, :order => "position", :conditions => "multitenant_team_id = " + current_user.team.id.to_s ) do
if params[:_search] == "true"
id =~ "%#{params[:id]}%" if params[:id].present?
issue_id =~ "%#{params[:issue_id]}%" if params[:issue_id].present?
que =~ "%#{params[:que]}%" if params[:que].present?
customer =~ "%#{params[:customer]}%" if params[:customer].present?
title =~ "%#{params[:title]}%" if params[:title].present?
reporting_source =~ "%#{params[:reporting_source]}%" if params[:reporting_source].present?
priority =~ "%#{params[:priority]}%" if params[:priority].present?
product =~ "%#{params[:product]}%" if params[:product].present?
current_owner =~ "%#{params[:current_owner]}%" if params[:current_owner].present?
end
paginate :page => params[:page], :per_page => params[:rows]
order_by "#{params[:sidx]} #{params[:sord]}"
end
if request.xhr?
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render :json => #priorities.to_jqgrid_json(
[:id, :issue_id, :que.name, :customer, :title, :reporting_source,
:priority, :product, :current_owner],
params[:page], params[:rows], #priorities.total_entries)}
format.xml { render :xml => #priorities }
end
end
Index View:
<%= jqgrid("Priorities", "priorities", "/priorities",
[
{:field => "id", :label => "ID", :width => 35, :resizable => false},
{:field => "issue_id", :label => "Issue Id"},
{:field => "que", :label => "Queue"},
{:field => "customer", :label => "Customer"},
{:field => "title", :label => "Title"},
{:field => "reporting_source", :label => "Reporting Source"},
{:field => "priority", :label => "Priority"},
{:field => "product", :label => "Product"},
{:field => "current_owner", :label => "Current Owner"}
],
{ :rows_per_page => 12, :height => 450 }
)%>
If I specify que instead of que.name, I get the data back in the grid but the Queue field shows a "#" symbol so I suspect the .to_jqgrid_json call doesn't like my syntax.
Has anyone tried this before? I hope so.
I fixed my problem. I ended up changing my find to a find_by_sql so I could do a left outer join on the ques table. I think there were a couple of issues. I think the *to_jqgrid_json* had problems with null foreign key values and I couldn't figure out how to get at the Que.name any other way. I'm using SQLServer so I had to use isnull(ques.name, '') to convert the null to empty space.
So I replaced my find as follows:
#priorities = Priority.find_by_sql ["select priorities.id id, issue_id, isnull(ques.name,' ') queue_name, customer, title, reporting_source, priority, product, current_owner from priorities left outer join ques on priorities.que_id = ques.id where priorities.multitenant_team_id = ? order by issue_id", current_user.team.id.to_s]
This introduced another problem in that find_by_sql returns an array which breaks the #priorities.total_entries call. So I had to replace it with array.count.
format.json { render :json => #priorities.to_jqgrid_json(
[:id, :issue_id, :queue_name, :customer, :title, :reporting_source, :priority, :product, :current_owner],
params[:page], params[:rows], #priorities.count)}
My grid looks great!
Edit
My grid LOOKS great but it doesn't paginate or sort. Back to the drawing board. :(
Okay, I think I fixed it for real this time.
#priorities = Priority.find(:all,
:select => "priorities.id, priorities.issue_id,
priorities.customer, priorities.title,
priorities.reporting_source, priorities.priority,
priorities.product, priorities.current_owner,
priorities.position,
isnull(ques.name,' ') queue_name",
:joins => "LEFT OUTER JOIN ques ON ques.id = priorities.que_id",
:order => "priorities.position",
:conditions => "priorities.multitenant_team_id = " + current_user.team.id.to_s ) do
I had know idea I could specify joins like this. This keeps the resultset in a format the 2dc_jqgrid plugin likes. Sorting, pagination and searching all work now. Now my grid looks good and actually works.

check_box_tag and find condition

<%= check_box_tag('videos_count')%>
If this box is checked, the param will say "videos_count"=>"1" . In the controller I have this:
videos_count = params[:videos_count]
#cars = Car.paginate( :page => params[:page], :per_page => 10,
:conditions => ["videos_count = ?", videos_count],
when the box is checked I see the correct parameter in the server log, but the find returns all of the results instead of results with videos_count = 1.
Check the datatype of 'videos_count' if it's Tiny INT then following may worh. No checked though.
:conditions => ["videos_count = ?", true]
What will the output for this?
:conditions => ["videos_count = ?", 1])
I think there is an issue with your table.
