Ruby on Rails remote form not updating the page - ruby-on-rails

UPDATE
I have mange to get it working by changing the Model call from
#comments = VideoComment.all(:conditions => { :video_id => #video.id}, :limit => 5, :order => :created_at)
#comments = VideoComment.last(5).reverse
It works, but it gives me the last video comments from all the videos whereas I only want those from the current video (#video.id).
Any clue on how to do that?
I have a Videocontroller and a VideoComments controller which manages the comments for the Video controller. I am trying to make my remote form update the comments list with ajax but it does not seem to work. Can you find what I did wrong?
HTML code of the show page :
- if current_user
#comment-form
= render 'video_comments/comment_form'
%ul
#comments
= render #comments
video_comments/_comment_form.html.haml
= form_for current_user.video_comments.build(:video_id => params[:id]), :remote => true do |f|
.form-fields
.comment-content
= f.text_area :content, rows:2
= f.hidden_field :video_id
= f.hidden_field :user_id
.submit-form
= f.submit "Add a comment", :class => "btn btn-default "
The Video_Commentscontroller createaction :
def create
#comment = VideoComment.create(params[:video_comment])
#video = #comment.video
#comments = VideoComment.all(:conditions => { :video_id => #video.id}, :limit => 5, :order => :created_at)
render :toggle
end
The toggle.js.erb file which manages the page changes :
$("#comment-form").html("<%= escape_javascript render 'comment_form' %>");
$("#comments").html("<%= escape_javascript render #comments %>");

If you are using Rails 3 you can do
#comments = VideoComment.where(:video_id => #video.id).order(:created_at).limit(5)
Or if you have relations properly defined you can also do
#comments = #video.comments.order(:created_at).limit(5)

Rails 4 boolean checkbox not working

I have a model in which I have a boolean attribute, published. In my Post controller I have added it to my permitted attributes. Like this:
params.require(:post).permit([...], :published)
My index action that should list all published posts looks like this:
def index
if session[:user_id]
#posts = Post.paginate(:page => params[:page])
else
#posts = Post.where("published = 1").paginate(:page => params[:page])
end
end
And lastly my form looks like this:
= form_for #post, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f|
[...]
.field
= f.label :published, "Publicera:"
= f.check_box :published
.actions
= f.submit
Currently no posts is listen on my index page, even if I either the new or updat view checks the checkbox. And I'm not sure how to fix it, any ideas?
The problem seems be be with my where predicate. This worked:
#posts = Post.where(:published => true).paginate(:page => params[:page])

Filtering values of index page on values defined in drop down box.rails 3

I am a newbie with rails and I am trying to fliter my index page on values selected by drop down box on index page
For Eg .In my index page I am having a drop down box showing employee names if user selects a value from drop down list the values of index page should filter with that employee name.
Note- Te Employee name is a cross reference field
My Controller Look like
def index
#complaints = Complaint.paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 10)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render :json => #complaints }
end
end
My Index View Looks like
<%= select("employee", "employee_id", Employee.all.collect {|p| [ p.fullname, p.id ] }, { :include_blank => true }) %>
I have tried to answer with whatever I can understand from your question and
I am asssuming u dont want filtering through an ajax call and your complaint table consists of a column named employee_id.
In your index_view add
<%= form_tag 'controllers_index_path' , :method => "get", :id=> 'filter_employees_form' do %>
<p>
<%= select_tag 'employee_id', options_for_select(Employee.all.collect {|p| [p.fullname, p.id ] }, :selected => params[:employee_id]), :prompt => 'Select', :id => 'filter_employees' %>
</p>
<% end %>
Add the following code in the javascript file or add it at the end of your index page.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#filter_employees').change(function(){
$('#filter_employees_form').submit();
})
})
In controller.rb
def index
#complaints = Complaint.get_complaints(params).paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 10)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render :json => #complaints }
end
end
In complaint.rb(model)
def self.get_complaints(params)
conditions = ['']
conditions = ['complaints.employee_id = ?', params[:employee_id]] if params[:employee_id]
self.where(conditions)
end
Hope this is what you are looking for.

How to make errored inputs prepopulate with previously inputted data

I'm making a custom AJAX form.
If a user fills out half of the form, it will fail wanting the other half fulfilled.
For some odd reason, the form is not pre-populating with at least what they had already inputted.
Because it's not doing this, how can I manually tell it to do so? When the form returns, the Object it verified is still accessible, so I can withdraw information from it.
a sample of the form
- form_for CardSignup.new do |f|
- unless #card_signup.nil?
- if !#card_signup.errors.empty?
.prefix_1.grid_4
- #card_signup.errors.full_messages.each do |error|
.warning
= error
%br/
.grid_2.prefix_1{:style => "width: 166px;"}
= f.text_field :first_name, :style => "width: 166px;", :value => "first name", :rel => "first name"
%div{:class => 'error_message'}
my Create method
def create
if params[:user] && current_user.admin
#card_signup = User.find(params[:user]).build_card_signup(params[:card_signup])
else
#card_signup = current_user.build_card_signup(params[:card_signup])
end
if #card_signup.valid?
respond_to do |wants|
#wants.html { redirect_to disclaimer_card_signup_path, :locals => { :card_signup => #card_signup } }
wants.json { render :json => { :html => (render_to_string :partial => 'disclaimer') } }
end
else
respond_to do |wants|
#wants.html { redirect_to new_card_signup_path }
wants.json { render :json => {:errors => #card_signup.errors, :html => (render_to_string :partial => '/card_signups/new_form') } }
end
end
end
You're doing this:
form_for CardSignup.new
which will instantiate a new CardSignup object every time you render the form. Move this into the new action and in the create action do this:
#card_signup = CardSignup.new(params[:card_signup])
This will pass the half-filled object back to the form and you'll get the already populated fields.

Parameter in AJAX request

I have a view which contain multiple links:
<% a.each do |q| %>
<%= link_to "stock it",
{ :action => "stock",
:qid => q.question_id,
:qur => q.question_answers_url,
:qti => q.title } ,
:remote => true %>
<div id="<%= "stock" + q.question_id.to_s %>"></div>
<% end %>
Each link generate AJAX-request. Here is a controller:
def stock
if(!Later.where(:question_id => params[:qid]).exists?)
later = Later.new(:question_id => params[:qid], :name => params[:qti], :url => params[:qur])
later.save
end
respond_to do |format|
format.js { render :layout=>false }
end
end
Now return to the view. Each link has a 'div' with unique id='stock'. When user press the link I need to add text to specific div with corresponding id.
I have a stock.js.erb file:
$("#stock<number>").html("some text");
How can I pass div-id to stock.js.erb and how can I use it ?
Common use is to add object.id to your DOM id. That what you exactly did:
<div id="<%= "stock_#{q.question_id}" %>"></div>
Then in your controller you shoud define your question_id or your exact question:
def stock
if(!Later.where(:question_id => params[:qid]).exists?)
later = Later.new(:question_id => params[:qid], :name => params[:qti], :url => params[:qur])
later.save
end
#question_id = params[:qid]
end
Now it will be shared with your stock.js.erb file:
$("#stock_<%= #question_id %>").html("some text");

Rails form params changing in controller

I have a form:
<%= form_for(:report_main, :url => {:action => 'exporttoxiccreate'}) do |f| %>
<%= collection_select(:waste, :code, Waste.find_all_by_istoxic(false), :id, :code, :include_blank => '') %>
<%= f.check_box(:q_pripadnost) %>
<%= f.text_field(:amount) %>
<% end %>
and this code in controller:
def exporttoxiccreate
#report = ReportMain.new
#reportexport = ReportExport.new
#reportparam = params[:report_main]
#report.waste_id = #reportparam.waste.code
#report.amount = #reportparam.amount
if #report.save
#reportexport.report_main_id = #report.id
else
redirect_to(:action => 'exporttoxicnew')
end
#reportexport.q_pripadnost = #reportparam.q_pripadnost
if #reportexport.save
redirect_to(:action => 'show', :id => #reportexport.id)
else
redirect_to(:action => 'exporttoxicnew')
end
end
I want to save in two tables, in two objects data from this form, and I need to separate params to manipulate with. I tried with this:
#reportexport.q_pripadnost = #reportparam.q_pripadnost
I want to set q_pripadnost field in #reportexport with some value from param.
Where I make mistake?
When you get params from a form in Rails, it comes in the form of a hash. For example:
params[:report_main][:waste]
params[:report_main][:amount]
So when you call #reportparam = params[:report_main], you are setting #reportparam to a hash, but then you are trying to use it later like an object. For example, instead of #reportparam.q_pripadnost, use #reportparam[:q_pripadnost].
You can take a closer look at your variable by temporarily changing your action to show a text version of the variable, for example:
def exporttoxiccreate
#reportparam = params[:report_main]
render :text => #reportparam.to_yaml
end
