Yeah its outside the form tag.
You made me look at it again, and the form is using the ID of the item!

So doing the following fixes the issue!

<%= button_tag("Create", type: "submit", form: 'edit_product_3') %>

If you put the images in your app/assets/images directory, then you should be able to call the image directly with no prefix in the path. ie. image_url('logo.png')

I am using the following to submit my form when creating a product.

<%= button_tag("Create", type: "submit", form: 'new_product') %>

However, the issue I am facing is that when I try to do the same for editing a product, the form does not submit at all.

<%= button_tag("Create", type: "submit", form: 'edit_product') %>

My question is, what am I missing from this not to submit the edit form? I mean when I press the button, nothing happens at all. haha

I know there's bound to be simple answer thanks in advance

I will give this a try, but i get the idea of having last 30 days as the default. It makes sense.

I could use JSONB to store the visits i suppose, and just update them every few hours.

Cheers Chris, given me something to think about this evening.

Do you mean have a column in the Products table which houses the count figure, and have a job to do the calculation each night, and update that figure?

That would be fine, but I may need to get the impressions for the last 7 days, 30 days, 6 months or even a year. So storing it may not be the mode reusable solution.

I have 2 tables, Products and Impressions which are related, and impressions belong to products.

maybe i need to get all products, and include the impressions count? that way it should be more efficient.

I am trying to get the top 5 products, based on the impressions that product has recieved.

Now the code below is working ok, but its not in the right order, and I cant work out a better way to get the impressions.

@products.joins("INNER JOIN products ON products.id = I.product_id")
.from(Impression.select("product_id, COUNT(product_id) as visits")
.group("product_id").limit(5).order("visits DESC"),:I)

Also, while i am here, is there also a more effiecient way to write out the getting of the total impressions for the last 30 days, based on a selection of products? So far i have the following...

Once again, it works ok, but it feels a little cumbersome. Maybe there is a i could combine both?

@impressions = Impression.joins(:product)
.where('impressions.created_at > ?', 30.days.ago)
.where(products: { id: @products.pluck(:id) })

As always so many ways to get stuff done. I will check out scopes later this evening.

Had to convert the parm to an int using .to_i but otherwise that worked well. However, as I had set the route "slug" to group_id. and I then had the issues that my nested routes were given the param group_group_id dammit! haha

Any way, I stuck the nested resources inside a member do and a little tweaking of the paths, everything seems to be working as expected. Maybe not the cleanest solution, but sometimes I do feel the strictness of Rails can be a negative.

How about something like this?

add_breadcrumb "category / #{@title}", categories_path

loving the new design and how its working. well done sir!

What should add_breadcrumb 'category / ' << @title, categories_path output?

Maybe this gem could help? https://github.com/weppos/breadcrumbs_on_rails

Hi all,
I have user groups setup on my app using the code below...

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :user_groups
  has_many :groups, through: :user_groups
end

class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :user_groups
  has_many :users, through: :user_groups
end

class UserGroup < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :group
end

All is working as expected, users are assigned to a group, and can access the data for that group. I have come accross an issue where any user, can access ANY group. Obvioulsy this is not good haha.

Can anyone recommend how i would go about preventing access to a group if a user is not a member of the group they are trying to access.

I was thinking of using a before_action and using it there and other controllers when needed.

FYI, i also have products assigned to groups so have a URL structure (below) which measn the ID variable for the group changes, not sure if i could just make that stay as :group_id maybe?

/groups/{:id}
/groups/{:group_id/products
/groups/{:group_id/products/{:id}

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Alan

Yeah this is what i was thinking. Cookies were my preffered way, it also means i can keep the url simple.

Thanks as always Jacob. Its good to get feedback on the ideas in my mind :)

Hi all,
Im trying to work out the best way to do a task.

On the users menu, they are able to select a region they are a member of. Once a user selects a region I want to load all data on the page based on that data until they select another, or reset it to all.

So if a user has not selected an option they will see all data for the regions they are a member of.

I have a couple of ideas, but is there a better way to do this?

Idea 1: have a :region_id in the URL - if none loads all. Other wise have a route like

• site.com/region/overview
• site.com/region/products
• site.com/region/:region_id/overview
• site.com/region/:region_id/products

Idea 2: Set a cookie, and load based on that?

Category.create(categories)

• xyz failed to be created.
• Created 99/100 categories, 1 failed.
• 
  

ActivityLog.create(:act_type => "Insert", :act_action => "", :updated_by => "System", :activity => log_msg, :act_tstamp => Time.now)
