Hi I am trying to have a form submit the data in it via email using a php file (contact.php) that i have made but also would like it to store the data in my SQL db and continue on. I am using pretty much all AJAX in this. this is my application_helper.rb src code. The section in question would be the 2nd form named tt_form. Any ideas?
module ApplicationHelper
# Returns the name of an icon (in public/images) for the given content type def icon_for content_type case content_type.to_s.strip when "image/jpeg" "JPG" when "application/vnd.ms-excel" "XLS" when "application/msword" "DOC" when "application/pdf" "PDF" else "Generic" end end
# Returns a textual description of the content type def description_of content_type case content_type.to_s.strip when "image/jpeg" "JPEG graphic" when "application/vnd.ms-excel" "Excel worksheet" when "application/msword" "Word document" when "application/pdf" "PDF file" else "" end end
# Returns the name of the site (for the title and h1 elements) def site_title 'OpenComm' end
# If a page title isn't explicitly set with @page_title, it's inferred from the post or user title def page_title return @page_title if @page_title return @post.name if @post and !@post.new_record? return @user.name if @user and !@user.new_record? '' end
# Returns a div for each key passed if there's a flash with that key def flash_div *keys keys.collect { |key| content_tag(:div, flash[key], :class => "flash #{key}") if flash[key] }.join end
# Returns a div with the user's thumbnail and name def user_thumb user img = tag("img", :src => formatted_user_url(:id => user, :format => 'jpg'), :class => 'user_picture', :alt => user.name) img_link = link_to img, user_url(:id => user) text_link = link_to user.short_name, user_url(:id => user) content_tag :div, "#{img_link}<br/>#{text_link}", :class => 'user' end
# Returns a div def clear_div '<div class="clear"></div>' end

# Standard submit button and delete link for posts and users def standard_submit name=nil, object=nil name = post_type unless name object = @post unless object submit_tag("Save #{name}") + (object.new_record? ? "" : (" or " + link_to("Delete", { :action => 'show' }, :method => :delete, :confirm => "Are you sure?", :class => "delete"))) end
