Hi, i need to implement a simple text function for the app i dev now.
1- the form in app/views/layouts
<% form_tag({:controller => "teachers", :action => "search"}, :method => "get") do %> <%= text_field_tag :query, nil, :id => "search-text" %> <%= submit_tag("GO", :id => "search-submit") %> <% end %>
2- the search method in teacher_controller.rb
def search session[:query] = params[:query].strip if params[:query]
if session[:query] @teachers = Teacher.find(:all, :conditions => ["materie LIKE ?", "%#{session[:query]}%"], :order => "cognome ASC") end end
3- the page for the result in app/view/teachers/search.html.erb
<h2 class="title">Teachers found</h2><br> <% if searchresults.length == 0 %> <p>No teacher found...</p> <% elsif params[:query] == "" %> <p>Insert a term, please.</p> <% else %> <ul> <% for teacher in searchresults %> <li><%= link_to teacher.cognome , teacher_url(:id => teacher.id)%></li> <% end %> </ul> <% end %>
But when I push the search button the page goes to the show function...
Heeeeeeelp !!!!
Many many thanks to all who...
