I'm using rails 4.1.4 and ruby 2.1.2, globalize 4.0.2, batch_translations 0.1.3 (I couldn't get f.globalize_fields_for to work any other way than use this gem), i18n 0.6.11 and friendly_id 5.0.1.
In posts/_form.html.erb, I have f.globalize_fields_for used in two different ways (I'm trying everything) but the f.globalize_fields_for gets hidden in the browser. How do I make it so it doesn't auto hide the
posts/_form.html.erb:
I'm not sure why and how to get it to work.
<%= form_for(@post) do |f| %>
<% if @post.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(@post.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this post from being saved:</h2>
<ul>
<% @post.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>

<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="form-group">

</div>
<div class="form-group">

<p><%= g.text_field :visible_title %></p>

The above fields get outputted like this in the html:
<h2>es translation</h2>
<input id="post_translations_attributes_2_id" name="post[translations_attributes][2][id]" type="hidden" value="">
<input id="post_translations_attributes_2_locale" name="post[translations_attributes][2][locale]" type="hidden" value="es">
...
<h2>Spanish translation</h2>
<input id="post_translations_attributes_2_id" name="post[translations_attributes][2][id]" type="hidden" value="">
<input id="post_translations_attributes_2_locale" name="post[translations_attributes][2][locale]" type="hidden" value="es">
My Gemfile:
gem "friendly_id", "~> 5.0.1"
gem 'i18n', '~> 0.6.11'
gem 'globalize', '~> 4.0.2'
gem 'batch_translations', '~> 0.1.3'
Post.rb:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
translates :visible_title, :meta_description, :meta_keywords, :category, :slug, :meta_title
#puts post.translations.inspect
# => [#<Post::Translation id: 1, post_id: 1, locale: "en", title: "Globalize rocks!", name: "Globalize">,
#<Post::Translation id: 2, post_id: 1, locale: "nl", title: '', name: nil>]
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :slug_candidates, use: [:slugged, :globalize]
accepts_nested_attributes_for :translations
# Try building a slug based on the following fields in
# increasing order of specificity.
def slug_candidates
[
:name
]
end
end
I made a migration and ran it and created this table with the globalization gem. I copied this over from my schema.rb file:
create_table "post_translations", force: true do |t|
t.integer "post_id", null: false
t.string "locale", null: false
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
t.text "visible_title"
t.text "meta_description"
t.text "meta_keywords"
t.string "category"
t.text "slug"
t.text "meta_title"
end
If I'm right,this line
<% f.globalize_fields_for lang do |g| %>
should be like this
<%= f.globalize_fields_for lang do |g| %>
