Question about MVC

Rails
1

Hi all,

I have a question about a MVC-“problem” and how to handle so a case.

I want page which lists some users. You can add users with a
dropdown-list.
So something like:

%h2 Selected users
user1
user2

%h2 Add an extra user
user3
user4
user5

I now have:

%h2 Selected users
user1
user2

%h2 Add an extra user
user3
user4
user5

What is a nice/clean way to remove the selected users from the
dropdown-list?
I now have this ruby-code in my rhtml:

collection_select(‘new_declaration_payer’, ‘user_id’, @users, ‘id’,
‘fullname’, {:prompt => ‘-- Selecteer een betaler --’}

Thanks in advance!

Hi Leon. Welcome to the forum.

What you described doesn’t sound like an MVC problem. It sounds more
like a Rails, possibly even a JavaScript issue.

I want page which lists some users. You can add users with a
dropdown-list.
So something like:

%h2 Selected users
user1
user2

%h2 Add an extra user
user3
user4
user5

I now have:

%h2 Selected users
user1
user2

%h2 Add an extra user
user3
user4
user5

I might be missing it, but I don’t see the difference between the two
diagrams. Care to elaborate?

If all you want to do is remove users from your list, the best place to
do so would be in your controller. I see you have a @users object. Try
something like…

@users = @users.map { |user| user.meets_some_condition }

If instead you want to dynamically add/remove users from a drop-drop
list, you’re going to need JavaScript. I’d suggest jQuery.

Hope that helps.
