Gotchya with input = :check_box

[Luke Melia]

Unlikely to affect too many others, but just in case:

We run on a vendored copy of rails 2-3-stable, and admin_assistant
uses the RAILS_GEM_VERSION constant to decide how to render the
checkbox/hidden field combo when you say form[:fieldname].input
= :check_box

Our RAILS_GEM_VERSION happened to be set to 1.2.3, so our checkboxes
were not working.

My workaround for now is to set the RAILS_GEM_VERSION in our
environment.rb to the closest thing to what we're running (2.3.4)

Cheers,
Luke

Funny, just the other day I was thinking to myself that there should
be a better way to do that. I toyed with the idea of just trying to
call whatever Rails' check_box_tag is calling, but when I started
looking at how those helpers are defined internally I recoiled in
fear. I'm no Yehuda.

Luke, are there downsides for you of setting RAILS_GEM_VERSION, and/or
is there another way you'd prefer to specify this so admin_assistant
knows what to do?

Hey, I'm *achem* upgrading some admin_assistant code from 0.0.1 to 1.0.0 and finding some different behavior was introduced at some point.

I'm trying to do on an index page:

index.search "CONCAT_WS(' ', users.first_name, users.last_name)"

Yes, some honest to god SQL.  This command used to get me some real juice, but now I just get:

 

Virtual search column :"CONCAT_WS(' ', users.first_name, users.last_name)" needs a conditions block

Is there a new way to do raw sql search conditions or has the functionality been dropped?

I, for one, am a fan of such things.

Thanks,

Alex
