Question

Hi I have the following code on my view:

//I write a loop here to display some workflows saying wkf.each do |i|
<% if (i write my condition here) %>
  <td style="text-align:left;">
  <%= f.check_box :i, {:checked=>true}%> 
  <%= f.label(i, i)%>
  </td></tr>
<% else %>
  <td style="text-align:left;">
  <%= f.check_box(i)%> 
  <%= f.label(i, i)%>
  </td></tr>
<%end%>

Suppose that there are three workflows ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ and ‘C’ meets the if condition,
then the parameters being sent are ‘A’=>0, ‘B’=>0 and ‘i’=>’1’.
I want it to be sent as ‘C’=>’1’ in the same way as ‘A’=>0.

I know that ‘i' =>'1' is sent because i wrote f.check_box :i, {:checked=>true}% instead of
<%= f.check_box(i)%>.

Please let me know how to change this so that, the check box is checked by default when the if condition is met and the #{i} would be sent instead of :i

Thanks

The f.check_box :i is not equal to f.check_box(i), the difference is that the i is a variable, while :i is a symbol, which is almost like a string. Remove the : in the first case.

<%= f.check_box i, {:checked=>true} %>
