How do you add a field set to a form_for method?
You can use field_set_tag. For example, using a generic 'user' object
For Rails 2.3.x
<% form_for(#user) do |f| %>
<% field_set_tag 'Name' do %>
<%= f.text_field :first_name %>
<%= f.text_field :last_name %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
And for Rails 3.0.0:
<%= form_for(#user) do |f| %>
<%= field_set_tag 'Name' do %>
<%= f.text_field :first_name %>
<%= f.text_field :last_name %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
You need to have a new object or get an existing object from your dc since it is a 'form for' and then you create a form builder f and call methods on that form builder such as the following:
<% form_for(#object) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :method_name %>
<% end %>

I use the following form_for at one point in my code to display a series of topics for users to select from.
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<%= f.collection_check_boxes(:topic_ids, Topic.all.sample(50).each, :id, :topic_name) %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
When it renders on the page, the boxes are all one-after-the-other. How can I separate them so that there is one check box per line?
from reference here
It is possibly to customize the way the elements will be shown by giving a block to the method as sample below from your code above
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<%= f.collection_check_boxes :topic_ids, Topic.all.sample(50).each, :id, :topic_name do |b| %>
<%= b.label(class: "check_box") do %>
<%= b.check_box(class: "check_box") %>
<%= b.object.topic_name %></br>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
You may of course render HTML inside the block:
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<%= f.collection_check_boxes :topic_ids, Topic.all.sample(50).each, :id, : topic_name do |b| %>
<div class="my-checkbox-wrapper">
<%= b.label(class: "foo") do %>
<%= b.object.topic_name %>
<%= b.check_box(class: "bar") ></br>
<%end%>
<%= f.submit %>
<%end%>
You can have a look at this example
It is very broad question. In short, using CSS.
For example using Bootstrap 4:
<%= form_for #user do |f| %>
<div class="form-check">
<%= f.collection_check_boxes :topic_ids, Topic.all.sample(50).each, :id, :topic_name, class: 'form-check-input' %>
</div>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
I have the following code in my
new.html.erb
<%= form_tag puppies_path do %>
<% #kennel.each do |puppy| %>
<%= fields_for 'puppies[]', puppy do |p| %>
<div class="field">
<%= p.label :name %><br>
<%= p.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= p.label :breed %><br>
<%= p.text_field :breed %>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<div class="actions">
<%= submit_tag %>
</div>
<% end %>
And puppies[] array variable, which is supposed to post array of objects to controller is posting only single object. Please help to post an array to controller. Thanks in advance!
The usual setup for fields_for is something like this.
<% #kennel.each do |kennel| %>
<%= fields_for :puppies, #kennel.puppies do |p| %>
Yes, I have just found an answer...
In new.html.erb file
<%= form_tag puppies_path do %>
<% 2.times do %>
<%= render 'puppies_group_form' %><br>
<% end %>
<%= submit_tag "Submit" %>
<% end %>
In _puppies_group_form
Name <%= text_field_tag "puppies[][name]" %>
Breed <%= text_field_tag "puppies[][breed]" %>
I have a nested model. How to check attribute value of object(hotel) of neted model in edit form? I can't figure out how to write if/else statement in _hotels_fields.html.erb
edit.html.erb
<% provide(:title, "Edit trip") %>
<h1>Edit trip</h1>
<%= form_for(#trip) do |f| %>
<%= render 'fields_edit', f: f %>
<%= f.submit "Save changes" %>
<% end %>
_fields_edit.html.erb
<p>
<%= f.label :image %>
<%= f.file_field :image %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :content %>
<%= f.text_area :content %>
</p>
<p>Hotel</p>
<%= f.fields_for :hotels do |builder| %>
<%= render 'hotels_fields', f: builder %>
<% end %>
_hotels_fields.html.erb
<% if #trip.hotels.name == "hotel" %>
<p>Render any text</p>
<% end %>
<fieldset>
<p>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.label :description %>
<%= f.text_field :description %>
</p>
</fieldset>
In the context of _hotels_fields.erb.html one specific hotels (why plural here if you have only one?) is represented by f.object. Therefore this should work:
<% if f.object.name == 'hotel' %>
...
<% else %>
...
<% end %>
I have a nested form, that uses the partial method for rendering the fields for the nested modal
<%= nested_form_for [:admin, #proforma] do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<p>
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
<%= f.fields_for :elements %>
<p><%= f.link_to_add "Add element to proforma", :elements %></p>
<p><%= f.submit %></p>
<% end %>
In my partial I want a link to take you to edit the nested model instance e.g.
<div class='element-children'>
<p>
<%= collection_select(:element, :component_id, Component.all, :id, :name) %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.text_field :detail %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', [:admin, edit_element_path(#element)] %> |
<%= f.link_to_remove "Destroy" %>
</p>
</div>
However #element is not available in the partial. How can I reference the correct element?
Edit...
Solution using comment from Bradley
<div class='element-children'>
<p>
<%= collection_select(:element, :component_id, Component.all, :id, :name) %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.text_field :detail %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_admin_element_path(f.object.id) %> |
<%= f.link_to_remove "Destroy" %>
</p>
</div>
I have a Comment model with the acts_as_nested_set enabled, but when I try to do something like this (for nested comments), i receive the error "comment_comments_path not found", presumably because the default pathing doesn't work with Awesome Nested Set. How do I get around this?
<%= form_for([#comment, #comment.children.build]) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_area :content, :placeholder=>'What do you think?'%>
<%= f.submit 'Submit Reply'%>
<% end %>
I also tried this:
<%= form_for(#comment) do |f| %>
<% #comment.children.each do |sub| %>
<%= f.fields_for :children, sub do |child| %>
<%= child.text_area :content, :placeholder=>'What do you think?'%>
<%= f.submit 'Submit Reply'%>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
but it didn't generate a textbox for me to type in.
You're very close, yeah you have to build it first then have fields for, so this:
<% #comment.children.build %>
<%= form_for([#comment]) do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for :children do |child| %>
<%= child.text_area :content, :placeholder=>'What do you think?'%>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit 'Submit Reply'%>
<% end %>
<% end %>
This will have a form for all existing children + the new one. If you want only a form for a new child then you'll want this instead:
<%= form_for([#comment]) do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for #comment.children.build, :children do |child| %>
<%= child.text_area :content, :placeholder=>'What do you think?'%>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit 'Submit Reply'%>
<% end %>
<% end %>
