I have a set of 7 dropdown inputs allowing admins to say whether they are open or closed for business on a given day. I'd like that changed to 7 open/closed switches (presumably styled checkboxes?) but can't figure out how to do this!
Here are the relevant bits of code I currently have (prior to any change):
app/view/backend/inventory_pool/edit.html.haml
- content_for :title, @inventory_pool
= form_for [:backend, @inventory_pool], html: {name: "form"} do |f|
.content
- if is_admin?
%a.button{:href => root_path}= _("Cancel")
%button.button{:type => :submit}= _("Save %s") % _("Inventory Pool")
%section
%h2= _("Basic Information")
.inner
.field.text
.key
%h3= "#{_("Print Contracts")}"
%p.description
.value
.input
%input{type: "checkbox", name: "inventory_pool[print_contracts]", checked: @inventory_pool.print_contracts}
%section#workdays
%h2= _("Workdays")
.inner
- [1,2,3,4,5,6,0].each do |i|
.field.text
.key
%h3= "#{I18n.t('date.day_names')[i]}"
.value
.input
%select{:name => "store[workday_attributes][workdays][]"}
%option{:label => _("Open"), :value => Workday::WORKDAYS[i]}= _("Open")
%option{:label => _("Closed"), :value => "", :selected => @store.workday.closed_days.include?(i) ? true : nil}= _("Closed")
app/models/workday.rb
class Workday < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :inventory_pool
WORKDAYS = ["sunday", "monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday", "saturday"]
def is_open_on?(date)
return false if date.nil?
case date.wday
when 1 return monday
when 2 return tuesday
when 3 return wednesday
when 4 return thursday
when 5 return friday
when 6 return saturday
when 0 return sunday
else
return false #Should not be reached
end
end
def closed_days
days = []
days << 0 unless sunday
days << 1 unless monday
days << 2 unless tuesday
days << 3 unless wednesday
days << 4 unless thursday
days << 5 unless friday
days << 6 unless saturday
days
end
def workdays=(wdays)
WORKDAYS.each {|workday| write_attribute(workday, wdays.include?(workday) ? true : false)}
end
end
And in app/controllers/backend/inventory_pools_controller I have this (abridged):
def update
@inventory_pool ||= InventoryPool.find(params[:id])
process_params params[:inventory_pool]
end
def process_params ip
ip[:print_contracts] ||= "false" # unchecked checkboxes are *not* being sent
ip[:workday_attributes][:workdays].delete "" if ip[:workday_attributes]
end
