link-to

I'd like Users in my Rails app to be able to share a link to their personal website in their profile. Simple enough, I have a column called website and a text field they can fill in to make it work. However, when I display this in a view there's a problem. If I use the link_to helper then whether or not the person included the http:// determines whether or not the url will work. But, if I automatically prepend http:// then I get it twice for users who DID put it in their url. I'm sure this is a fairly common problem, but I haven't been able to find any good blog posts or SO questions that

I'm experiencing some unusual behaviour with my Rails 4 Application. Every single-time I click on a link_to inside my views, my controllers actions are being called twice. For example: In my root_url I have this standard call for users_profile : <%= link_to('User Profile', users_profile_path, :class => "logout-button") %> When I click this link, my console shows the following output: Started GET "/users/profile" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-11-25 20:45:53 -0200 Processing by Users::SessionsController#profile as HTML User Load (0.7ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."id" = 45 ORDER BY

I have a rails helper using the structore below, but when I use it I get the message undefined method 'link_to' The helper is arranged as: module MyHelper class Facet def render_for_search link_to("Value", params) end end class FacetList attr_accessor :facets def initialize #Create facets end def render_for_search result = "" facets.each do |facet| result << facet.render_for_search end result end end end This is because within the Class Facet you don't have access to the template binding. In order to call the render_for_search method you probably do something like <%= Facet.new.render_for

I've ran into a ror problem using the link_to. Why does my link to use the GET method and my button_to use the POST method, after I specified my "method"=>"post" within the link_to parameters? View: <%= button_to "pdf", :action => 'getquote' %> <%= link_to 'pdf', {:controller => 'inventories', :action => 'getquote', :method => :post } %> Controller Method: def getquote @cart = find_cart respond_to do |format| format.pdf end end Terminal Output (Button/Link, respectively): Processing InventoriesController#getquote (for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-01-30 01:38:02) [POST] Parameters: {"action"=>"getquote",

I'm on my second app with Rails and I want to get ajax working. I'm also using the tabs from bootstrap 2. There are two variations of the tabs for bootstrap that I found, one gives you the tabs and you can put the content of those tabs into DIVs, the other is basically each tab you are able to use a link. I opted for the latter so that I could Ajaxify the links. The basic idea is that my apps home page has tabs across the top such as: Home, Inventory, Tasks, etc...and when you click the tab it puts you at each of those controllers index page. I have this working perfectly fine until I try to

I am trying to delete a post using the code below: <%= link_to 'Destroy', post, :method => :delete, :onclick => "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this post?')" %> which does not work... it simply redirects me back to the post (posts/:id} however, if i use the following code it works <%= button_to 'Destroy', post, method: :delete, :onclick => "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this post?')" %> is it possible to make link_to behave as button_to in this case? EDIT: destroy controller function def destroy @post = Post.find(params[:id]) @post.destroy respond_to do
