Ransack has abilities finding User that has a first_name:
User.search(:first_name_present => "1")
and the opposite, finding User with no first_name or blank:
User.search(:first_name_blank => "1")
.
Unfortunately,
User.search(:first_name_present => "0") not equal with
User.search(:first_name_blank => "1")
.
Is there anyway to make
User.search(:first_name_present => "0") equal
User.search(:first_name_blank => "1"),
or
User.search(:first_name_present => "1") equal
User.search(:first_name_blank => "0")?
Thx
You could of course do something like this before calling search:
params[:q][:first_name_present] = "1" if
params[:q][:first_name_blank].nil? ||
params[:q][:first_name_blank] == "0"
I think it's good that these are not the same thing, otherwise, you couldn't have a checkbox to only find those users with empty first name – it would not allow a state listing all users. As it is now, unchecked checkboxes do not cause filtering.
