Ignore certain select items in conditions
Reported by Tee Parham | March 27th, 2009 @ 05:55 PM
I want to ignore a certain value from a select list in my conditions. How do I specify that?
Here's an example where I have a select list of 'Any', 'Joe', and 'Bob'. If 'Any' is selected, I want to exclude that condition and thus find all users. Is there a better way than manually checking for the 'Any' value and then deleting that condition in the controller? If not, what is the preferred way to remove a condition?
# app/views/users/index.html.haml
- form_for @search do |f|
- f.fields_for @search.conditions do |users|
= users.select :first_name, ['Any','Joe','Bob']
= f.submit "Search"

- State changed from “new” to “resolved”
yes:
user.select :first_name ["Joe", "Bob"], :include_blank => "Any"

Thanks for the help, Ben. It's good to know searchlogic supports the standard rails way of handling blanks (:include_blank) - duh!
Tip for others using select lists: use collection_select if you're mapping a model collection to the select list:
Scope collection_select for the form you're in:
user.collection_select :user_id, User.find(:all), :id, :name, {include_blank=>"Any"}, {:class=>"fancy"}http://api.rubyonrails.org/class...
