Hi.
calendar_date_select plugin uses the following tag,
<%= calendar_date_select_tag "start_date", Time.now, :size => 15 %>
The above tag gives a text box and an Image. Which i really don't need.
I have called the onclick function which was written in the image onclick with text box as follows,
<input type="text" name="start_date" onclick="new CalendarDateSelect( this, {year_range:10} );" />
Date Select work fine now with image.
my blog is abt wht i have learnt technically, mostly in Ruby on Rails, Javascript, node.js hope this share a little bit of info & adds a bit stuff., Thanks.

jQuery UI datepicker in Rails
I have spent lot of time in making this. The problem was there was conflict in the prototype & Jquery. This is how i did it,
Step 1:
Download jquery.ui.datepicker.js from jquery UI and add it in Javascripts folder.
Step 2 :
Add these in Layout,
<script src="/javascripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/javascripts/jquery.ui.datepicker.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(function() {
jQuery("#datepicker").datepicker();
});
</script>
Note: instead of $(function) i have used jQuery(function)
Step 3 :
Then the View file, use,
<%= text_field_tag "datepicker" %>
Note :
If you get this error, "jquery ui $(input).zIndex is not a function"
1. Go to the datepicker JS & comment out the line where you get the error.
2. Add .ui-datepicker {z-index: 3000;} in ur stylesheet

Will Paginate Ajax pagination
I have gone through many articles on how to use Ajax pagination with will_paginate.
Here is how i did & it worked for me,
Step 1 :
Create a helper called remote_link_renderer.rb and use the following code,
class RemoteLinkRenderer < WillPaginate::LinkRenderer
def prepare(collection, options, template)
@remote = options.delete(:remote) || {}
super
end
protected
def page_link(page, text, attributes = {})
@template.link_to_remote(text, {:url => url_for(page), :method => :get}.merge(@remote), attributes)
end
end
Step 2:
Make the view file table in a partial(_units.html.erb),
<div id="units">
<%= render :partial => "units" %>
</div>
Step 3 :
And in the partial _units.html.erb add will paginate code,
<%= will_paginate @units, :renderer => 'RemoteLinkRenderer' , :remote => { :update => 'units'} %>
Step 4 :
In the controller use:
respond_to do |format|
format.js { render :partial => 'units' }
format.html { }
end
Now Pagination works without refreshing the page.

Will paginate pagination style
Pagination using will paginate comes with div class "pagination"
Copy & paste the below code in css file, to make the pagination look a better.
.pagination {
padding:0.3em;
text-align:right;
}
.pagination a, .pagination span {
padding:0.2em 0.5em;
}
.pagination span.disabled {
color:#AAAAAA;
}
.pagination span.current {
color:#8FBF5D;
font-weight:bold;
}
.pagination a {
border:1px solid #DDDDDD;
color:#0063DC;
text-decoration:none;
}
.pagination a:hover, .pagination a:focus {
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
background:#0063DC none repeat scroll 0 0;
border-color:#003366;
color:white;
}
.pagination .page_info {
color:#AAAAAA;
padding-top:0.8em;
}
.pagination .prev_page, .pagination .next_page {
border-width:1px;
}

Auto Complete Text Box in Rails
Found an Awesome plugin https://github.com/rails/auto_complete for doing this and i made it in 5-10 mins.
Install plugin :
ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/auto_complete.git
Use in HTML for Text field:
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete 'phonenumber', 'to',{}, :skip_style => false %>
Controller :
skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only => [:auto_complete_for_phonenumber_to]
def auto_complete_for_phonenumber_to
phonenumber = params[:phonenumber][:to]
@phones = CustomerPhone.phonenumber_search(phonenumber)
render :partial => 'phonenumbers'
end
Search Query in model:
def self.phonenumber_search(keyword)
find(:all, :conditions=>["phonenumber like ?", "%#{keyword}%"])
end
View :
Create Partial : "_phone_number.html.erb"
<%= auto_complete_result @phones, :phonenumber %>
Restart your Server & Search. It works.
Note :
If you get undefined method "text_field_with_auto_complete" Error. It means you have not installed the plugin or have not restarted server.
Need to show more than one field ??
Here it is,
In View:
<%= auto_complete_result @phones, :show_field %>
In Model:
def show_field
"#{phonenumber}, #{name}, #{address}"
end
In auto_complete_result method:
items = entries.map { |entry| content_tag("li", phrase ? highlight(entry.show_field, phrase) : h(entry.show_field)) }

Sending HTML mail in rails
Hi pals,
If all the mails that you send are in HTML format. its simple. Specify this line in environment.rb
ActionMailer::Base.default_content_type = "text/html"
If only one action has to be in HTML mail, specify 'content_type' in that action.
content_type "text/html"
example,
def signup_notification(recipient)
recipients recipient.email_address_with_name
subject "New account information"
from "system@example.com"
content_type "text/html"
end
cheers,
Sri

You are being redirected
Hi,
I have got this page "You are being redirected", whenever i used redirect. I found out that I have written methods such as redirect_XXX, redirect_yyy. I have changed the method names & it works !!
Not using the rails keywords as method names, stops this bug..
Thanks,
Srikanth

Auto Login in rails
1. Remember me
When the user login and checks the “Remember me” checkbox, the :save_login parameter is set, the User instance remember_me method invoked and the :auth_token cookie set...
class AccountController < ApplicationController
def login
case @request.method
when :post
if @session[:user] = User.authenticate(@params[:user_login], @params[:user_password])
flash['notice'] = "Login successful"
if @params[:save_login] == "1"
@session[:user].remember_me
cookies[:auth_token] = { :value => @session[:user].remember_token , :expires => @session[:user].remember_token_expires }
end
redirect_back_or_default :controller => "time"
else
flash.now['notice'] = "Login unsuccessful"
@login = @params[:user_login]
end
end
end
def logout
@session[:user].forget_me if @session[:user]
@session[:user] = nil
cookies.delete :auth_token
end
end
2. login_from_cookie
The next time the user visits the website the “login_from_cookie” filter is triggered. This method checks that the user is not logged in and that the :auth_token cookie is set. If that’s the case the user matching the :auth_token is searched and the token_expiration verified the the user is automatically logged in. Et voila! I guess auto_login would be more appropriate as method name.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :login_from_cookie
def login_from_cookie
return unless cookies[:auth_token] && @session[:user].nil?
user = User.find_by_remember_token(cookies[:auth_token])
if user && !user.remember_token_expires.nil? && Time.now < user.remember_token_expires
@session[:user] = user
end
end
end
3. the User class
The User class has two methods to set and remove the token from the database. It’s pretty secure as from the token the user cannot be identified without having the salt, the email, and the token expiration, which is most unlikely to be recreated. It could be even more secure by just encrypting some random unique identifier. The only issue I encountered was that the user class always forces the password validation and encryption when saving. For now I just bypass validation and encryption when setting and clearing the remember_me token.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
def remember_me
self.remember_token_expires = 2.weeks.from_now
self.remember_token = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("#{salt}--#{self.email}--#{self.remember_token_expires}")
self.password = "" # This bypasses password encryption, thus leaving password intact
self.save_with_validation(false)
end
def forget_me
self.remember_token_expires = nil
self.remember_token = nil
self.password = "" # This bypasses password encryption, thus leaving password intact
self.save_with_validation(false)
end
end
When the user login and checks the “Remember me” checkbox, the :save_login parameter is set, the User instance remember_me method invoked and the :auth_token cookie set...
class AccountController < ApplicationController
def login
case @request.method
when :post
if @session[:user] = User.authenticate(@params[:user_login], @params[:user_password])
flash['notice'] = "Login successful"
if @params[:save_login] == "1"
@session[:user].remember_me
cookies[:auth_token] = { :value => @session[:user].remember_token , :expires => @session[:user].remember_token_expires }
end
redirect_back_or_default :controller => "time"
else
flash.now['notice'] = "Login unsuccessful"
@login = @params[:user_login]
end
end
end
def logout
@session[:user].forget_me if @session[:user]
@session[:user] = nil
cookies.delete :auth_token
end
end

require 'rubygems'
require 'net/http'
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'
http = Net::HTTP.new('facebook.com', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
path = "/oauth/access_token"
data = 'id=123456'
resp, data = http.post(path, data)
puts resp.inspect
puts data.inspect
require 'net/http'
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'
http = Net::HTTP.new('facebook.com', 443)

Thinking sphinx
Hi,
This is a Great plugin in Rails for the search options. This comes with many inbuilt functionalities. There are many tutorials & Videos on how to work this.
But I struggled a lot in Installation.
1. I have installed the Thinking sphinx Plugin, But there was error
srikanth@client30:~/project$ rake thinking_sphinx:index
Sphinx cannot be found on your system. You may need to configure the following
settings in your config/sphinx.yml file:
* bin_path
* searchd_binary_name
* indexer_binary_name
For more information, read the documentation:
http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/advanced_config.html
Generating Configuration to /home/srikanth/projects/thisproject/config/development.sphinx.conf
Solution : You will have to download and install the sphinx software. Thinking sphinx is only a wrapper around sphinx.
2) After I Install sphinx, when I start it
srikanth@client30:~/projects/my project$ rake thinking_sphinx:start
(in /home/srikanth/projects/my project)
Failed to start searchd daemon. Check /home/srikanth/projects/my project/log/searchd.log.
Failed to start searchd daemon. Check /home/srikanth/projects/my project/log/searchd.log
Solution: you need to configure and start the sphinx daemon
rake thinking_sphinx:configure
rake thinking_sphinx:start
& This should work.. It worked for me when i did
rake thinking_sphinx:start -t
Now everything works fine :):)
Thanks,
