  • How do I create multiple submit buttons for the same form in Rails?

    - by Angela
    I need to have multiple submit buttons. I have a form which creates an instance of Contact_Call. One button creates it as normal. The other button creates it but needs to have a different :attribute value from the default, and it also needs to set the attribute on a different, but related model used in the controller. How do I do that? I can't change the route, so is there a way to send a different variable that gets picked up by [:params]? And if I do then, what do I do in the controller, set up a case statement?

  • How can I reduce the number of loops in this VIEW in Rails when using :collection?

    - by Angela
    I am using the :collection to go through all the Contacts that are part of a given Campaign. But within that Campaign I check for three different Models (each with their own partial). Feels like I am going through the list of Contacts 3x. How can I make this alot leaner? <h2>These are past due:</h2> <% @campaigns.each do |campaign| %> <h3>Campaign: <%= link_to campaign.name, campaign %></h3> <strong>Emails in this Campaign:</strong> <% for email in campaign.emails %> <h4><%= link_to email.title, email %> <%= email.days %> days</h4> <% @contacts= campaign.contacts.find(:all, :order => "date_entered ASC" )%> <!--contacts collection--> <!-- render the information for each contact --> <%= render :partial => "contact_email", :collection => @contacts, :locals => {:email => email} %> <% end %> Calls in this Campaign: <% for call in campaign.calls %> <h4><%= link_to call.title, call %> <%= call.days %> days</h4> <% @contacts= campaign.contacts.find(:all, :order => "date_entered ASC" )%> <!--contacts collection--> <!-- render the information for each contact --> <%= render :partial => "contact_call", :collection => @contacts, :locals => {:call => call} %> <% end %> Letters in this Campaign: <% for letter in campaign.letters %> <h4><%= link_to letter.title, letter %> <%= letter.days %> days</h4> <% @contacts= campaign.contacts.find(:all, :order => "date_entered ASC" )%> <!--contacts collection--> <!-- render the information for each contact --> <%= render :partial => "contact_letter", :collection => @contacts, :locals => {:letter => letter} %> <% end %> <% end %>

  • Is there a method I can use across controllers and if so, how do I use it?

    - by Angela
    I have several controllers that take an instance of different classes each (Email, Call, Letter, etc) and they all have to go through this same substitution: @email.message.gsub!("{FirstName}", @contact.first_name) @email.message.gsub!("{Company}", @contact.company_name) @email.message.gsub!("{Colleagues}", @colleagues.to_sentence) @email.message.gsub!("{NextWeek}", (Date.today + 7.days).strftime("%A, %B %d")) @email.message.gsub!("{ContactTitle}", @contact.title ) So, for example, @call.message for Call, @letter.message for Letter, etcetera. This isn't very dry. I'd like to have something like def messagesub(asset) @asset.message.gsub.... end or something like that so I can just use messagesub method in each controller.

  • Toggling audio on click?

    - by angela
    please look at this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/rabelais/yLdkj/1/ The above fiddle shows three bars that on hover play audios. How do I change this so the music plays and pauses on click instead. Also if one audio is playing and another is clicked how can the already playing song pause? $("#one").mouseenter(function () { $('#sound-1').get(0).play(); }); $("#one").mouseleave(function () { $('#sound-1').get(0).pause(); }); $("#two").mouseenter(function () { $('#sound-2').get(0).play(); }); $("#two").mouseleave(function () { $('#sound-2').get(0).pause(); }); $("#three").mouseenter(function () { $('#sound-3').get(0).play(); }); $("#three").mouseleave(function () { $('#sound-3').get(0).pause(); });

  • How can I change the tags/css class of some dynamic text based on output from a helper?

    - by Angela
    I have a repeated line which outputs something like: Call John Jones in -3 days (status) I have a helper called show_status(contact,email) which will output whether that particular email had been sent to that particular contact. If it is "sent," then that entire line should show up as "strike out." Similarly, if the number of days is -3 (<0), the line should be formatted in red. Here's my hack, but there must be a cleaner way to put the logic into the controller? I hard-code a value that wraps around the lines I want formatted, and assign the value based on a separate call to the same helper: <% for call in @campaign.calls %> <% if !show_call_status(@contact,call).blank? %> <%= strike_start = '<s>'%> <%= strike_end = '</s>' %> <% end %> <p> <%= strike_start %> <%= link_to call.title, call_path(call) %> on <%= (@contact.date_entered + call.days).to_s(:long) %> in <%= interval_email(@contact,call) %> days <%= make_call(@contact,call) %> <span class='status'><%= show_call_status(@contact,call) %></span> <%= strike_end %> </p> <% end %> I guess what I'd like to do is not have the if statement in the View. Not sure how to do this.

  • Can I use rest-client to POST a binary file to HTTP without multipart?

    - by Angela
    I have tried to do the following, but the web-service is NOT REST and does not take multi-part. What do I do in order to POST the image? @response = RestClient.post('http://www.postful.com/service/upload', {:upload => { :file => File.new("#{@postalcard.postalimage.path}",'rb') } }, {"Content-Type" => @postalcard.postalimage.content_type, "Content-Length" => @postalcard.postalimage.size, "Authorization" => 'Basic xxxxxx' } # end headers ) #close arguments to Restclient.post

  • How do I model a has_many :through and with aggregation in Rails?

    - by Angela
    How do I model having multiple Addresses for a Company and assign a single Address to a Contact? Contacts belong_to a Company. A Company has_many Contacts. A Company also has_many Addresses. And each Contact belongs_to an Address. How do I model this? I have Model/Contacts.rb belong_to :Company belong_to :Address (?) Model/Company.rb has_many :Contacts has_many :Addresses Address is an aggregation of :street1, :street2, :city, :state, :zip so not clear exactly what to do there. So what would I do in my _form so that when I have a contact/new I am able to either default to a main address or select one of the others? If none of them match, adding for a Contact makes that address available to any subsequent contact?

  • How do I dynamically assign the Model for a .find in Ruby on Rails?

    - by Angela
    I am trying to create a Single Table Inheritance. However, the Controller must be able to know which class to find or create. These are based on another class. For example, ContactEvent with type = Letter needs to grab attributes from a corresponding Model called Letter. Here's what I've tried to do and hit a snag, labelled below. I need to be able to dynamically call assign a value of EventClass so that it can be Letter.find(:conditions =) or Calls.find(:conditions =) depending on which type the controller is acting on. def new @contact_event = ContactEvent.new @contact_event.type = params[:event_type] # can be letter, call, postcard, email @contact_event.event_id = params[:event_id] # that ID to the corresponding Model @contact_event.contact_id = params[:contact] @EventClass = case when @contact_event.type == 'letter' then 'Letter' when @contact_event.type == 'call' then 'Call' when @contact_event.type == 'email' then 'Email' SNAG BELOW: @event = @EventClass.find(@contact_letter.letter_id) #how do I make @EventClass actually the Class?SNAG # substitution of variables into the body of the contact_event @event.body.gsub!("{FirstName}", @contact.first_name) @event.body.gsub!("{Company}", @contact.company_name) @evebt.body.gsub!("{Colleagues}", @colleagues.to_sentence) @contact_event.body = @event.body @contact_event.status = "sent" end

  • How do I add to a model when on the Show of another model?

    - by Angela
    I on the Show of "Contacts" and want, from that page, to submit a Comment that is related to the Contact. The way I understand to do it would be: <%= start_form_tag :action => "add_comment", :id => @contact %> <% text_area "comment, "body", "rows" = > 5 %> <br> <%= submit_tag %> <%= end_form_tag %> I would create a method in the Contacts controller: def add_comment Contact.find(params[:id]).comments.create(params[:comment]) end However, I feel there's a better way, but don't know what that is? I learned this on a pretty outdated book. Basically, I want to add a new object belonging to a Model while on the Show of a different Model. Would formtastic help me, and if so, how?

  • How do I create the Controller for a Single Table Inheritance in Rails?

    - by Angela
    I am setting up the Single Table Inheritance, using ContactEvent as the Model that ContactEmail, ContactLetter, and ContactCall will all inherit. But I'm stumped on how to create the routing and the controller. For example, let's say I want to create a new ContactEvent with type Email. I would like a way to do the following: new_contact_event_path(contact, email) This would take the instance from Contact model and from Email model. Inside, I would imagine the contact_event_controller would need to know... @contact_event.type = (params[:email]) # get the type based on what was passed in? @contact_event.event_id = (params[:email]) #get the id for the correct class, in this case Email.id Just not sure how this works....

  • How do I create a collection_select in the View of a model that belongs_to another?

    - by Angela
    In the _form for creating a new Contact, I want to be able to create a drop-down which allows the User to select the Campaign the Contact will belong to. In the controller, I created a collection called @campaigns. And I tried to use the following but not getting it to work: <p> <%= f.label :campaign_id %><br /> <%= f.collection_select(:contact, :campaign_id, @campaigns, :id, :name) %> </p> Basically, I want to display the available :name of the campaigns, and then submit the campaign_id associated with the selected campaign to the Contact model when it gets saved.

  • How can I upload and parse a vcard using ruby on rails?

    - by Angela
    I would like to be able to upload a vcard and have it parsed into my application's Model. I am thinking that Paperclip would be a way to upload, but I have no idea how to do the parse. I did a search on google, the only library that seems related is vpim, with mixed commentary. Wanted to see what brilliant ideas might be out there to solve this...thanks.

  • How do I check if an instance has an object to skip displaying the values?

    - by Angela
    I have created a polymorphic association around a model called status. Some contacts will have a status associated with it. Many won't. If I try to call a status when one is not there, I get an error. Right now, even if I haven't created a status for the model, it still runs whatever is in the if-end block. Here's what I am trying, but it's not working: <% if [email protected]? %> <p>Status: <%= @status.find(:last).status %></p> <% end %> In the controller, it is defined below: @status = Contact.find(@contact).statuses By the way, also open to make code more readable and DRY.

  • How do I do a count on that meet a specific condition, dependent on several has_many relationships i

    - by Angela
    I have a Model Campaign. A Campaign has many Events. Each Event has an attribute :days. A Campaign also has_many Contacts. Each Contact as a :date_entered attribute. The from_today(contact,event) method returns a number, which is the number of days from the contact's :date_entered till today minus the event's :days. In other words, a positive number shows the number of days from today till the :days of the event is elapsed. If it is negative, if means that the number of days that has elapsed since the :date_entered is greater than the :days attribute of an event. In other words, the event is overdue. What I would like to be able to do is do campaign.overdue and this would result in a total number of contacts that have an overdue event. It shouldn't count multiple events for a single contact, just one contact. How do I do that? It seems like I would need to cycle through all the events for every contact and keep a counter but I'm assuming that there is a better way.

  • How do I use File.new to find a file from Rails?

    - by Angela
    I am trying to read a file that has been saved on the /system folder using Paperclip, for example. But when I use that .url method from Paperclip to read that file using File.new, I get that the file isn't found. The directory is correct, but I still can't access it. What is the right way to find a file for File.new for example? I tried to point to other files, as well, and to no avail.

  • how can I write a script for Open Office writer?

    - by Angela
    Hi, not sure if this is the best forum or if there's someplace better...but I need to write a script/macro for Open Office. I am sending a letter to 4-6 different people (A,B,C,D). The format for, say, four people would be: Dear A, I'm writing to B,C, and D. Dear B, I am writing to A,C, and D. etc. Sometimes it may be 4. Sometimes 6. Sometimes 10. But it needs to cycle through all and do so listing the ones not in the "dear" header.

  • How do I add values in an array when there is a null entry?

    - by Angela
    I want to create a real time-series array. Currently, I am using the statistics gem to pull out values for each 'day': define_statistic :sent_count, :count => :all, :group => 'DATE(date_sent)', :filter_on => {:email_id => 'email_id > = ?'}, :order => 'DATE(date_sent) ASC' What this does is create an array where there are values for a date, for example [["12-20-2010",1], ["12-24-2010",3]] But I need it to fill in the null values, so it looks more like: [["12-20-2010",1], ["12-21-2010",0], ["12-22-2010",0], ["12-23-2010",0], ["12-24-2010",3]] Notice how the second example has "0" values for the days that were missing from the first array.

  • How do I create English-language list (name1, name2, AND name3) in Ruby on Rails?

    - by Angela
    Quite possibly there could be a rails magic I've missed, but I'm guessing it will be in Ruby. I have a model called Company which has_many Contacts. Suppose Company has Contact 1, Contact 2, Contact 3, and Contact 4. When I create a textblog for each Contact, I want to output the following (where Contact = Contact 1) "Hi, Contact 1, I am also writing to Contact 2, Contact 3, and Contact 4." So it needs to extract the Contact in the salutation and then list them, inserting "and" before the last Contact in the list.

  • how can I easily upload outlook contacts into my web application?

    - by Angela
    Hi, I am trying to find a way for our users to very easily upload their outlook contacts into our web application (mysql database). I'm not sure where to begin. I've seen various tools which are pretty complex. I am open to existing third-party solutions, but my hope is that there is something which is very simple to use or build. Thanks. PS: Ideally, it would not involve using visual basic.

  • How can I use form_remote_tag to update an acts_as_taggable_on field?

    - by Angela
    I have a model called Company which is acts_as_taggable_on. When I am /SHOWing a Company (e.g. company/15) I want to be able to see a form that allows me to add tags. I suppose this would be easier by just allowing at edit but sometimes I want to go back and just add tags. This is what I tried to do and I get an error: <div id = 'tags'> <strong>Tags:</strong> <% form_remote_tag(:url => {:action => 'update'}, :update => 'tags') do %> <%= text_field :company, :tag_list %> <%= submit_tag 'Save' %> <% end %> </div> Thanks!
