Re: Offer a different redirect if user not logged in

carlosantoniodasi...@gmail.com (Carlos Antonio da Silva) — Tue, 21 May 2013 22:24:32 UT

Hello, I think you've sent this to the wrong list :).

This is SimpleForm's one, try plataformatec-devise instead.

Offer a different redirect if user not logged in

pitosa...@gmail.com (Pito Salas) — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:23:48 UT

I would like this behavior:

No matter what the path, if user is not logged in, send them to a splash
page with some marketing info plus a login vs. request an account UI

What's the elegant way to achieve that with Devise? Thanks!

Pito

Date Format with datepicker revisited

t...@brookelaw.com (Thomas Brooke) — Sun, 19 May 2013 14:50:27 UT

I am revisiting this discussion: format date :as => :string<[link]>
I am using DateEntry as a date picker that produces string input similar to
datepicker
I defined a new input type:
class DatePickerInput < SimpleForm::Inputs::StringInpu t

Using your examples
<%= simple_form_for(@hdlog) do |f| %>
<%= f.input :employeeid, collection: Employee.all, label_method:
<% end %>
Try something like that

Not sure what are you trying to do here, but if :user is a association
you might want to use `f.association :user` instead of `f.input

Re: How can I coerce Postgres "citext" fields into text fields instead of text areas?

YES! It helps to read instructions. Your docs, like your gems, are awesome!
Thanks so much!
class TextInput < SimpleForm::Inputs::TextInput
def input
if column.sql_type == "citext"
@builder.text_field(attribute_ name, input_html_options)
else
super
end
end

Thanks Carlos. I've never had to crack open or subclass something like this
before. I created a class to inherit TextInput, but not I'm not sure how to
use it since SimpleForm doesn't know about it. This is what I have:
class CiTextInput << SimpleForm::Inputs::TextInput
def input
if column.sql_type == "citext"

carlosantoniodasi...@gmail.com (Carlos Antonio da Silva) — Tue, 07 May 2013 12:24:28 UT

Well, since, Rails knows about "text", Simple Form also knows about it, and
will generate a text area input for those columns:

What you could try to do is to create your own TextInput, inheriting from

I'm aware I can pass "as: :string" to every f.input message but I don't
want to do that if I can avoid it.
I know Rails abstracts some of these database datatypes away, but I can
still get the correct column type like this:
User.last.column_for_attribute ('email').sql_type
That returns:
"citext"

The case-sensitive nature of Postgres was causing a problem for my
application, so we converted all varchar columns to be of type "citext"
instead. citext is a Postgres extension that performs some downcases behind
the scenes in order to do case-insensitive matching. However, now every
form in my app is jacked up because "citext" is being rendered as a 20 unit

Re: Model Validations?

anthonydevit...@gmail.com (Anthonyd84) — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 04:05:46 UT

Thanks. I think the issue is due to a legacy gem set. 1.5.2

Im looking to see if the app can be upgraded if not i will do my own jquery validations.

Thanks for the response though. Much appreciated.

Re: Model Validations?

Hey,

SimpleForm uses presence validation from your model:

"By default all inputs are required. When the form object has presence
validations attached to its fields, SimpleForm tells required and
optional fields apart. For performance reasons, this detection is
skipped on validations that make use of conditional options, such as

Model Validations?

anthonydevit...@gmail.com (Anthony DeVito) — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:06:58 UT

Hello all,
I am fairly new to simple form and I was wondering if it
is possible to utilize the model validations with simple_form or do i need
to make my own validations? If so how would I go about making my own
validations or implementing the model validations on my form?

Simple form and Carmen

tom.deberard...@gmail.com (Tomanow) — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:11:22 UT

I've been greatly enjoying Simple Form and would like to integrate with the
Carmen gem to add a country/state select combo. I know there is already a
topic on this but I was not able to follow the solution provided. Does
anyone have an implementation they could share? It would be greatly
appreciated! Thank you!
