Hi all,
I want to search events based on its name, location, start date, end
date and …
if i am using sql, i can do this
sql= “select * from events where 1=1”
if params[:name]
sql +=" name = #{params[:name]}
if params[:location]
sql +=" location = #{params[:location]}
Are there other ways to construct search builder?
ex: events= Events.find_by_object(search_criteria)
search_criteria = {name=>params[:name],…}
Further more, I want to search event by posted, by attending, by most
popular, by latest.
I do it as following
logger.info “Search events for the name #{params[:name]} and
sort option #{params[:sort_option]}”
@sort_option = params[:sort_option]
if “POSTED”==@sort_option
@events = current_user.events.find(:all, :conditions=>[’
event_name like ?’,’%’+params[:name]+’%’])
# search all events current user will attend]
elsif “ATTEND”==@sort_option
@events = current_user.events.find(:all,:select=>“events.",
:joins=>" join event_attendants on event_attendants.event_id
= events.id " ,
:conditions=>[’ events.event_name like ? and
event_attendants.attendant_mail =? and
event_attendants.aasm_state=?’,’%’+params[:name]
+’%’,current_user.email,“will_attend”])
elsif “POPULAR”==@sort_option
@events =
current_network.events.find(:all,:select=>"events.”,
:joins=>" join event_attendants on event_attendants.event_id
= events.id " ,
:conditions=>[’ events.event_name like ? and
event_attendants.aasm_state in (?)’,’%’+params[:name]+’%’,
%w{will_attend might_attend no_response}],
:group=>“event_attendants.event_id”,:order=>"
count(event_attendants.event_id) desc")
else
@events = current_network.events.find(:all, :conditions=>[’
event_name like ?’,’%’+params[:name]+’%’],:order=>" created_at
desc")
end
My questions
- those codes are only dealing with params[:name], if some params
involve ( location,…) they will become messy how to avoid it? - I want to re factor those code but really don’t know how to do, or
where to start?

I’m very new to Ruby and RoR.
I’d appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards,
