Models: class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :posts, :dependent => :destroy validates :name, :presence => true, :length => { :maximum => 32 } attr_accessible :name, :post_id end class Post < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :topic, :touch => true has_many :comments, :dependent => :destroy accepts_nested_attributes_for :topic attr_accessible :name, :title, :content, :topic, :topic_attributes end View: <%= simple_form_for :post, :url => { :controller => :posts, :action => "create" } do |f| %> <h1>Create a Post</h1> <%= f.input :name, :label => false, :placeholder => "Name" %> <%= f.input

Here are my models: class Lesson < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :topic, :polymorphic => true validates_presence_of :topic_type, :topic_id end class Subject < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :lessons, :as => :topic end class Category < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :lessons, :as => :topic end Now, what I need is a form that will allow the user to create or update Lessons. The questions is, how can I provide a select menu that offers a mix of Subjects and Categories? (To the user, on this particular form, Subjects and Categories are interchangeable, but that's not the case elsewhere.) Ideally, this

When I do f.input :start_date, as: :date I get 3 select elements (day, month and year). I can do f.input :start_date, as: :string to get input[type=text] element, but how can I generate input[type=date] element with simple_form? You should specify html5 option: f.input :start_date, as: :date, html5: true Here is details. HTML 5 date / time inputs are not generated by Simple Form by default, so using date, time or datetime will all generate select boxes using normal Rails helpers. We believe browsers are not totally ready for these yet, but you can easily opt-in on a per-input basis by passing

I am using the SimpleForm, ClientSideValidations, and ClientSideValidations-SimpleForm gems in a RoR application. I can render the form into the modal beautifully, however when the input loses focus no validation occurs and the form is submitted. Also note that I have tried using the fix found here: http://www.ddarrensmith.com/blog/2012/05/17/ruby-on-rails-client-side-validation-with-validation-helpers-and-twitter-bootstrap/ Segment of the view containing the form: <div class='modal hide' id='New_Discrep' tabindex="-1" role='dialog' aria-labelledby="#New_Discrep_Label" aria-hidden='true'> <div

Very new to Ruby and I've been stuck for hours. Searching everywhere and can't find an answer. So I'm using the bootstrap datepicker for rails gem. Because I've changed the date format of the datepicker, it won't store in the DB. Guessing this is because the simple_form input is being used as a string to avoid the default date selection inputs applied by simple_form. My question is: How do I modify/convert a string like "06/18/2013" to a date before it is saved to the db? Is this best handled by the controller? My controller: # PUT /events/1 # PUT /events/1.json def update @event = Event.find

I want to create a simple money input with SImpleForm . So the money field should have a minimum value which is 0, so that user cannot enter value less than 0. However I don't know how to define min value with simple form. I wonder if it's possible. Ryan Erdmann Definitely! The (simplified) HTML for the form you want looks something like this: <form> <input type="number" min="0" step="any" name="amount"> </form> Notice the two really important properties on the input field: min is set to 0, because you don't allow negative numbers, and step is set to any , because you want to allow decimals in

I've tried #Default size for text inputs. config.default_input_size = 10 from config/initializers/simple_form.rb I've also tried <%= f.input :message, :input_html => {:size => 10} %> But neither of these change a single thing about how my text fields appear. You need to do this <%= f.input :message, :input_html => {:rows => 10} %> Html text area tag attributes has two attributes namely rows and cols which lets you specify the no of rows and columns(i.e. width) of your text area. If this is not working then open the console and see if your css is overriding the height. Passing :input_html
