Ransack, acts-as-taggable-on and checkboxes in search form

need some help on ransack filtering.

I have model Project, which has many tags through acts_as_taggable gem.

Project.rb:

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base

include PublicActivity::Common

belongs_to :customer

belongs_to :category

has_many :attachments, :as => :attachable

has_many :reports, :dependent => :destroy

has_many :messages, :dependent => :destroy

has_many :screens, :dependent => :destroy

accepts_nested_attributes_for :attachments, :allow_destroy => true

acts_as_taggable

end

so the @project.tags - works in console just fine.

However, I have advanced search form with ransack gem on index page, and i need to filter projects depending on tags which are selected by user. So that only projects which have all of the selected tags were displayed.

Also a have categories, projects belong to categories. So the checkboxes for categories work as expected. But how can i do checkboxes for tags? Here’s my form for search:

= search_form_for @search do |f|

  • @categories.each do |category|

= check_box_tag(‘q[category_id_eq_any]’, category.id)

= category.name

= f.text_field :budjet_gteq

= f.text_field :budjet_lteq

  • @tags.each do |tag|

= check_box_tag(‘q[tags_id_eq_all]’, tag.id)

= tag.name

That’s what i have in console after submiting the form (so i have no tags query at all, even though i checked two checkboxes):

Processing by ProjectsController#index as HTML

Parameters: {“utf8”=>“✓”, “q”=>{“category_id_eq_any”=>[“1”], “budjet_gteq”=>“100000”, “budjet_lteq”=>“70000000”}}

Any help will be appreciated.

Edited my view, so now checkboxes for tags look like:

  - @tags.each do |tag|
    = check_box_tag("q[tags_id_eq_all][]", tag.id, {})
    = tag.name

So in console i can see such query:

Processing by ProjectsController#index as HTML
  Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "q"=>{"budjet_gteq"=>"", "budjet_lteq"=>"", "tags_id_eq_all"=>["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"]}}

So now, it passes all tags, even though i’ve selected only two of them. As the result it shows all projects, when i want to show only one, with two tags which i’ve checked.

Now i’ve played a bit and see that when in view i have:

  - @tags.each do |tag|
    = check_box_tag("q[tags_id_eq_all][]", tag.id, {})
    = tag.name

every checkbox in html is set to “checked” by default.

If i make it false, like this:

  - @tags.each do |tag|
    = check_box_tag("q[tags_id_eq_all][]", tag.id, false, {})
    = tag.name

Checkboxes are nit checked by default, but it doesn’t send query with tags_ids array at all, even if i click on them.

Can’t figure out, how can i get it working…

Sorry guys, problem was not in Ransack or checkboxes. it’s all about html and styles, as checkboxes simply didn’t get checked when i clicked them.

Fixing styles helped
