module Searchlogic module RailsHelpers # Creates a link that alternates between acending and descending. It basically # alternates between calling 2 named scopes: "ascend_by_*" and "descend_by_*" # # By default Searchlogic gives you these named scopes for all of your columns, but # if you wanted to create your own, it will work with those too. # # Examples: # # order @search, :by => :username # order @search, :by => :created_at, :as => "Created" # # This helper accepts the following options: # # * :by - the name of the named scope. This helper will prepend this value with "ascend_by_" and "descend_by_" # * :as - the text used in the link, defaults to whatever is passed to :by # * :ascend_scope - what scope to call for ascending the data, defaults to "ascend_by_:by" # * :descend_scope - what scope to call for descending the data, defaults to "descend_by_:by" # * :params_scope - the name of the params key to scope the order condition by, defaults to :search def order(search, options = {}, html_options = {}) options[:params_scope] ||= :search options[:as] ||= options[:by].to_s.humanize options[:ascend_scope] ||= "ascend_by_#{options[:by]}" options[:descend_scope] ||= "descend_by_#{options[:by]}" ascending = search.order.to_s == options[:ascend_scope] new_scope = ascending ? options[:descend_scope] : options[:ascend_scope] selected = [options[:ascend_scope], options[:descend_scope]].include?(search.order.to_s) if selected css_classes = html_options[:class] ? html_options[:class].split(" ") : [] if ascending options[:as] = "▲ #{options[:as]}" css_classes << "ascending" else options[:as] = "▼ #{options[:as]}" css_classes << "descending" end html_options[:class] = css_classes.join(" ") end link_to options[:as], url_for(options[:params_scope] => search.conditions.merge( { :order => new_scope } ) ), html_options end # Automatically makes the form method :get if a Searchlogic::Search and sets # the params scope to :search def form_for(*args, &block) if search_obj = args.find { |arg| arg.is_a?(Searchlogic::Search) } options = args.extract_options! options[:html] ||= {} options[:html][:method] ||= :get options[:url] ||= url_for args.unshift(:search) if args.first == search_obj args << options end super end # Automatically adds an "order" hidden field in your form to preserve how the data # is being ordered. def fields_for(*args, &block) if search_obj = args.find { |arg| arg.is_a?(Searchlogic::Search) } args.unshift(:search) if args.first == search_obj concat(hidden_field_tag("#{args.first}[order]", search_obj.order) + "\n") super else super end end end end
