Rails label helper for forms

to rails by nickhammond on Oct 20, 2008
When creating forms I get tired of creating labels for each field so I like to shorten my typing by using this application helper. 

def l(id,label)
    "<label for='#{id}'>#{label}</label>"
end


then later on in your view you type 
<%= l('my_field_id','My Label') %>

Javascript open new window with all params

to rails javascript by nickhammond on Oct 20, 2008 
function pop_window()
{
window.open ("http://url.com","Window Title","status=0,toolbar=0,location=0,menubar=0,directories=0,resizable=1, scrollbars=0,height=0,width=0");
}


Rails link to helper
<%= link_to "link text", {:action => "help"}, :popup => ['Terms and Conditions','width=400,height=400'] %>

YM4R configuration with multiple domains

to rails ym4r by nickhammond on Oct 19, 2008
Need to put domains in config/gmaps_api_key.yml
production:
 host.com: longapikeythatmakesnosense
 anotherhost.com: jsdkfljskfljsgklsjgkl


When printing out the header information you need to pass the param :host. request.host should do the job. 
<%= GMap.header(:host => request.host) %>

Rails button helper

to rails by nickhammond on Oct 19, 2008
I use this for the admin section of my sites. It's good for your basic buttons. I use the tango icon library as well (http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Gallery).

  def button(options = {})
    image_source = case options[:type]
      when 'edit':          "edit-find-replace.png"
      when 'preview':       "document-print-preview.png"
      when 'delete':        "edit-delete.png"
      else "list-add.png"
    end
    
    button = "<img src='/images/icons/#{image_source}' />"
    
    if options[:link]
      target = params[:target].blank? ? ">" : " target='#{options[:target]}'>"
      "<a href='#{options[:link]}'" + target + button + "</a>"
    else
      button
    end
  end


Example usage:
<%= button %>
# <img src='/images/icons/list-add.png' />



<%= button :type => "edit", :link => "/edit/5" %>

find conditions via hash

to rails model by kioo on Apr 23, 2008
Instead of simply adding a list of things at the end of the array, you can also pass in a hash and change the question marks to actual named replacements. This can help you keep the order of your arguments straight.

Event.find(
  :all,
  :conditions => [ "title like :search or description like :search",
                   {:search => "%Tiki%"}]
)
