I need something like this but in Ruby On Rails. I have a code that selectes specific files to be either deleted or analyzed:
<% if @files%>
<%= form_tag what_to_do_files_path, method: :get do %>
<%= submit_tag "Delete selected", :name => 'delete' %>
<%= submit_tag "Analyse", :name => 'analyse' %>
<% @files.each do |file| %>
<% if (arraydb.file=="no") %>
<p><td> <%= check_box_tag "files[]", file.id %></td><%= file.name %></p>
<% else %>
<div class="my_profile_info">
<p><td> <%= check_box_tag "files[]", file.id %></td> <%= file.name %></p>
<td class="Info">
<a href="<%=file.info%>" target ="_blank" class= "btn btn-mini btn-info">Info</a>
</td>
</div>
<% end %>
<%end%>
<%end%>
<%else%>
<%end%>
routes:
resources :files do
collection do
get :what_to_do
end
end
controller:
def what_to_do
method=params[:commit]
if method == 'Delete selected'
do smt
elsif method == 'Analyze'
do another thing
end
end
What I need to have are options for the "Analyze" button. Like Pictures, Info, Normalization, Scatterplots with a checkbox. So, I select Pictures and Normalization and klick on "Analyse", so only rthose two options will be proceeded. I am not quite sure how I can wrap a checkbox to a submit_tag.
EDIT
Example
choose option (checkbox)
choose files(checkbox):
I'm not a 100% sure if I understand what you are after, but this is my understanding:
You have a bunch of files to pick from with checkboxes, you also need option checkboxes to pass additional options to the Analyze action?
Just add inside your form_tag:
<%= check_box_tag "pictures", true %>
<%= check_box_tag "normalization", true %>
and so on.
In your controller:
elsif method == "Analyze"
if params[:pictures]
do picture stuff
if params[:normalization]
do normalization stuff
etc etc etc params[:nameofcheckboxtag] will either be set to the value (second option, true in my example) if the checkbox is checked, otherwise it won't exist. Either way, only the checked options will be processed with this example.
