I would put this in your controller. And before the search runs, you
might want to swap in your search form for the table, so it's
perfectly clear what to do.
def search
if params[:q]
@resources = [your search logic here]
else
render :partial => 'search_form'
end
end

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.
