Hi,
I've got some search code working now that puts the results on the same
page. Trouble is the view was generated with scaffolding.
The view contains a table that displays the search results, but it is
also displaying all the resources in the DB before a search is run. How
can I add something like an if statement to only loop through @resources
when a search has been performed? Can I embed it in the view, or should
it be in the controller or model?
Cheers,
Jen.
Code from view:
<h1>Search resources</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Subject</th>
<th>Course</th>
<th>Alternative use</th>
<th>Author</th>
<th>resource type</th>
<th></th>
<th></th>
<th></th>
</tr>
<% @resources.each do |resource| %>
<tr>
<td><%= resource.subject %></td>
<td><%= resource.course %></td>
<td><%= resource.alternative_use %></td>
<td><%= resource.author %></td>
<td><%= resource.subject %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Show', resource %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_resource_path(resource) %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Destroy', resource, :confirm => 'Are you sure?',
:method => :delete %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
<br />
<%= link_to 'New Resource', new_resource_path %>
<% form_tag resources_path, :method => 'get' do %>
<p>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
</p>
<% end %>

Hi,
I am trying to code a simple search, that will search my database for
something like what ever the user enters.
I can get the form to render ok, but am having some problems when submitting
the test search. I'm wondering if my understanding of this code, which I
have put together after reading several different posts on the subject is
incorrect.
I have commented what I believe is happenning, so hopefully someone can
correct me.
Thanks in advance,
Jen.
