Hi all, I’ve been developing a Rails app, I almost finish so, I decided
refactor my code. Here some doubts
1.- I’ve Job and User controllers, a user has jobs but when you create
the
job there isn’t user assigned.
So I’ve the myworks in the entries controller:
def myworks
@entries = Entry.find_all_by_user_id(current_user.id)
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.xml { render :xml => @entries }
end
end
and I’ve this route:
match ‘/myworks’ => ‘entries#myworks’, :as => ‘myworks’
So I access it via the URL: localhost:3000/myworks
But I move it to the User controller (I think it’s better):
def myworks
@entries = Entry.find_all_by_user_id(self.id)
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.xml { render :xml => @entries }
end
end
and I want to access It with this url: localhost:3000/user/1/myentries
Question: How do I to do that?
2.- I’ve this img tag many times in my views:
<img src="<%= entry.officeentrystate ? “…/images/buttons/flag_green.gif” :
“…/images/buttons/flag_red.gif”%>"
title="<%= t(‘entries.fields.officeentrystate’) %>"
alt="<%= t(‘entries.fields.officeentrystate’) %>"/>
Question: There’s a way to create a helper to do that? Like,
helper_name(title, value)
I’ll really appreciate your help.

I think you need to nest the models in the routes.rb file
This will give you the url’s you require
map.resources :users, :has_many => :entries
This give the following routes: (run “rake routes | less” to see full
routes list and link_to path and url’s)
Check out http://railscasts.com episode 70 “Custom routes”, 34 “Named
routes” and then go on to 139 “nested resources”
Send the models you have so we can see the relationships

Yes, It makes sense to put that method in the User controller. For the
routes, you could do something like
match ‘/user/:id/myentries’ => ‘entries#myworks’
and then in your method, change self.id to params[:id] in the line
@entries = Entry.find_all_by_user_id( params[:id http://self.id/] )
2.- I’ve this img tag many times in my views:
I guess, you are passing the entry object to the above image tag, make a
helper call it whatever you want
def helper_name entry
<img src=“<%= entry.officeentrystate ?
“…/images/buttons/flag_green.gif” :
“…/images/buttons/flag_red.gif”%>”
title=“<%= t(‘entries.fields.officeentrystate’) %>” alt=“<%=
t(‘entries.fields.officeentrystate’) %>”/>
…
…
end
and then call the helper in the view by
<%= helper_name entry %>
If you want to use the helper in many views across many models, write
the
helper in the application_helper.rb file.
Let me know if anything doesn’t work out. Happy to help.
OK:
My User model:
require ‘digest’
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessor :passwd
validates :passwd, :confirmation => true,
:length => { :within => 6…20 },
:presence => true,
:if => :password_required?
validates :nickname, :uniqueness => true,
:length => { :within => 5…50}
has_many :comments
has_many :entries, :class_name => “User”, :foreign_key =>
“geomatics_elaboration_id”
has_and_belongs_to_many :entries
before_save :encrypt_new_password
def fullname
(self.firstname + " " + self.lastname)
end
def self.authenticate(nick, passwd)
user = User.find_by_nickname(nick)
return user if (user and user.active and
user.authenticated?(passwd))
end
def authenticated?(passwd)
self.password == encrypt(passwd)
end
protected
def encrypt_new_password
return if passwd.blank?
self.password = encrypt(passwd)
end
def password_required?
password.blank? or passwd.present?
end
def encrypt(string)
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(string)
end
end
My Entry model:
class Entry < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :applicant
belongs_to :entry_type
belongs_to :parish
belongs_to :elaborator, :class_name => “User”, :foreign_key =>
“geomatics_elaboration_id”
belongs_to :checker, :class_name => “User”, :foreign_key =>
“geomatics_checker_id”
has_many :comments
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
def find_related_applicant_by_idcard(idCard)
self.applicant_id = Applicant.find_by_idcard(idCard).id
end
end
