If you want to add other country plese send me the list of states and I will add them.

Thanks Kaith,
I have added it to the plugin itself.

Thanks Vicent,
I have added this to plugin itself.

Is there something available, or could you possibly write something to provide easy validation that verfies an actual entry was submitted? I would rather not write out all 50 states, and I think it’d be an improvment to the plugin.

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks, this works great….

Actually… its not setting the selected value for my object.

Am I missing something?

To make this AJAX like, I had to do a little extra work. For instance, the country Germany requires the form helper to say GERMAN, United States to say US, etc. It would be nice if the constant was a capital version of the country and if there was no country, it would show a text field for entry.

0.5,
:update=>"state_select",
:url=> {:action=>'state_select', nly_path=>false},
:with=>"'country=' + encodeURIComponent(value)" %>

would link to a partial

instead of…

I put the code:
http://ianconnor.blogspot.com/2007/03/ajax-stateselect.html
as the html didn’t get escaped and/or stripped the ruby code.

here is the good one:

Thanks Kaith,it works great but I faced
one problem with it ,options={} and html_options ={} is does not work.How can I put class or id for it.

Here is US states with 2 char codes:
US_WITH_CODE_STATES = [['Alabama', 'AL'], ['Alaska', 'AK'], ['Arizona', 'AZ'], ['Arkansas', 'AR'], ['California', 'CA'], ['Colorado', 'CO'], ['Connecticut', 'CT'], ['Delaware', 'DE'], ['District Of Columbia', 'DC'], ['Florida', 'FL'],['Georgia', 'GA'],['Hawaii', 'HI'], ['Idaho', 'ID'], ['Illinois', 'IL'], ['Indiana', 'IN'], ['Iowa', 'IA'], ['Kansas', 'KS'], ['Kentucky', 'KY'], ['Louisiana', 'LA'], ['Maine', 'ME'], ['Maryland', 'MD'], ['Massachusetts', 'MA'], ['Michigan', 'MI'], ['Minnesota', 'MN'], ['Mississippi', 'MS'], ['Missouri', 'MO'], ['Montana', 'MT'], ['Nebraska', 'NE'], ['Nevada', 'NV'], ['New Hampshire', 'NH'], ['New Jersey', 'NJ'], ['New Mexico', 'NM'], ['New York', 'NY'], ['North Carolina', 'NC'], ['North Dakota', 'ND'], ['Ohio', 'OH'], ['Oklahoma', 'OK'], ['Oregon', 'OR'], ['Pennsylvania', 'PA'], ['Rhode Island', 'RI'], ['South Carolina', 'SC'], ['South Dakota', 'SD'], ['Tennessee', 'TN'], ['Texas', 'TX'], ['Utah', 'UT'], ['Vermont', 'VT'], ['Virginia', 'VA'], ['Washington', 'WA'], ['West Virginia', 'WV'], ['Wisconsin', 'WI'], ['Wyoming', 'WY']] unless const_defined?(”US_WITH_CODE_STATES”)

This is a great timesaver. But is there a way for it to take the value from the object/method passed to it? i.e. if i am updating a record, i would like it to start at the existing value, rather than the first item in the list. (this is how country_select works.)

Hey – just wanted to second what Timur said. Having the state postal codes is a big help. I used that as he posted, except I named it “US_POSTAL_STATES”. That seemed a bit more semantic to me.

Thanks – it’s a great help!

I put together a list of just the postal codes – no state names – for the US. List was compiled from the USPS official postal codes list of the US and major outlying areas.

US_POSTAL_CODES_STATES = ['AK','AL','AR','AS','AZ','CA','CO','CT','DC','DE','FL','FM','GA','GU','HI','IA','ID','IL','IN','KS','KY','LA','MA','MD','ME','MH','MI','MN','MO','MP','MS','MT','NC','ND','NE','NH','NJ','NM','NV','NY','OH','OK','OR','PA','PR','PW','RI','SC','SD','TN','TX','UT','VA','VI','VT','WA','WI','WV','WY']
unless const_defined?(”US_POSTAL_CODES_STATES”)

In response to Matt I played with this for about an hour and a half before I gained any functionality. Here’s my code (my object is a TV Station, “station” and my method is “state”)

State:

I inserted a blank option field so if no state is given it doesn’t get set to AK or Alabama by default. The state will get set if it exists (for an edit type function) but if it does not exist it will be blank.

PS I had to restart the web server after modifying the state_select.rb file in the plugin.

Hi, I am getting this error:

ActionView::TemplateError (uninitialized constant ActionView::Base::CompiledTemplates::US) on line

But this works:

POLAND_STATES=["DolnoÅ›lÄ…skie", "Kujawsko-Pomorskie", "Lubelskie", "Lubuskie", "Łódzkie", "MaÅ‚opolskie", "Mazowieckie", "Opolskie", "Podkarpackie", "Podlaskie", "Pomorskie", "ÅšlÄ…skie", "ÅšwiÄ™tokrzyskie", "WarmiÅ„sko-Mazurskie", "Wielkopolskie", "Zachodniopomorskie"] unless const_defined?(”POLAND_STATES”)

Canada does NOT have “District of Columbia and NEEDS “Yukon”

Counties for Republic of Ireland: IE_STATES=["Carlow","Cavan","Cork","Clare","Donegal","Dublin","Galway","Kerry","Kildare","Kilkenny","Laois","Leitrim","Limerick","Longford","Louth","Mayo","Meath","Monaghan","Offaly","Roscommon","Sligo","Tipperary","Waterford","Westmeath","Wexford","Wicklow"] unless const_defined?(”IE_STATES”)
Counties for Northern Ireland:
NI_STATES=["Antrim","Armagh","Derry","Down", "Fermanagh","Tyrone"] unless const_defined?(”NI_STATES”)

Might I suggest changing your current US_STATES to US_UNABBREV_STATES and adding the following:

US_STATES=[
[ "Alabama", "AL" ],
[ "Alaska", "AK" ],
[ "Arizona", "AZ" ],
[ "Arkansas", "AR" ],

Hey guys,
I’m trying to have a selected state and a none option to the state_select. I wasn’t successful getting that to work. I tried everything but no luck. could you give me an example please.

Thanks

Hi Maged Makled,

Try this:
< %= state_select 'user', 'state', 'US', :selected=>‘New York’ %>

thanks

Hello Akhil,

I ended up using your state_select plugin. Works well. I recently upgraded my gems version to 2.2.2 from 2.1.2. And state_select fails to work there. I downgraded it back to 2.1.2 and it works.

I will be looking for the problem and post the solution, if I find one. But just a heads up, if you are aware about it and can post a quick fix.

Thanks.

@Jimish: Install latest version from github

Hey Akhil,

Thanks. I was getting Wrong number of arguments error. Now, I understand why that tag helper did not worked in 2.2.2

Hi guys. I’m relatively new to Rails, but am loving it so far. I’m having trouble getting this thing to work. I have it set up and the drop down menu is in place, but I keep getting the message: “State can’t be blank.”

I’m using it in a form like so:

In addition to the validates_presence_of list, I also added this to the module file where it is used:
def state
state = read_attribute(:state)
end

And this in the controller file:
@user.state = params[:user][:state]

I’m sure I’m just missing something out of ignorance, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any thoughts on my last question?

It seems that I might not have the users module and controller set up properly. Like I mentioned, I’m relatively new, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Bryan,

I am out of station right now and will look into your problem later.

Thanks for giving my plugin a try.
