ruby on rails - How to get database to read form value, not option number -


for profile fields such ethnicity. user 1 has selected 'asian' ethnicity. in users database show numbers selected ethnicity (such asian = 1, dutch = 2, etc based on order of ethnicities options list) , search database recognizes ethnicity itself...not number ethnicity. search trying find users asian selected, technically there none since user database goes number instead of name of ethnicity.

i believe user database showing numbers because what's used in form best_in_place gem.

show.html:

 <p>ethnicity: <%= best_in_place @user, :ethnicity, nil: 'what ethnicity?', :type => :select, :collection => [[1, "asian"], [2, "biracial"], [3, "indian"], [4, "hispanic/latin"], [5, "middle eastern"], [6, "native american"], [7, "pacific islander"], [8, "white"], [9, "other"]] %></p>

i have tried doing:

collection: ["asian", "biracial", "indian"]

and

collection: [ ["asian", "asian"], ["biracial", "biracial"], ["indian", "indian"]]

if first example option should read 'asian' instead read "s".

the second example doesn't display option, it's blank drop down box.

does know how can these options save user database actual option oppose numbers?

schema:

 create_table "searches", :force => true |t|     t.string   "gender"     t.string   "age"     t.string   "zip_code"     t.string   "children"     t.string   "religion"     t.string   "ethnicity"     t.datetime "created_at", :null => false     t.datetime "updated_at", :null => false   end    create_table "users", :force => true |t|     t.string   "email"     t.string   "password_digest"     t.string   "zip_code"     t.string   "birthday"     t.string   "name"     t.string   "username"     t.string   "gender"     t.string   "ethnicity"     t.string   "sexuality"     t.string   "career"     t.string   "education"     t.string   "religion"     t.string   "politics"     t.string   "children"     t.string   "height"     t.string   "user_smoke"     t.string   "user_drink"     t.string   "about_me"     t.string   "inches"     t.string   "feet"     t.datetime "created_at",             :null => false     t.datetime "updated_at",             :null => false     t.string   "auth_token"     t.string   "password_reset_token"     t.datetime "password_reset_sent_at"     t.boolean  "admin"     t.string   "role"     t.integer  "roles_mask"     t.string   "age"     t.string   "age_end"   end

i figured problem out. best in place code fine, needed modify search form. 

<%= f.select :ethnicity, [["asian", "1"], ["biracial", "2"], ["indian", "3"], ["hispanic/latin", "4"], ["middle eastern", "5"], ["native american", "6"], ["pacific islander", "7"], ["white", "8"], ["other", "9"]], :include_blank => true %>

as can see added value it's showing in database after name of ethnicity. pulls searches perfectly.

linux - xterm copying to CLIPBOARD using copy-selection causes automatic updating of CLIPBOARD upon mouse selection -

i've tried various ways coerce xterm (versions 285 , 292) copy selection clipboard clipboard whenever press ctrl-shift-c. promising way far has been, in ~/.xresources, put this: xterm*vt100.translations: #override \ ctrl shift <keypress> c: copy-selection(clipboard) \n\ ctrl shift <keypress> v: insert-selection(clipboard) ctrl-shift-v works perfectly, copying has nuance... if restart xterm, highlighting text puts things in primary clipboard; expected, proper, default behavior. if hit ctrl-shift-c, copies current selection clipboard clipboard. the bug, however, if highlight text after first time pressed ctrl-shift-c, you'll see highlighting copies both primary and clipboard. cannot figure out how stop xterm updating clipboard upon selection... , doesn't make sense me in first place. i said, @ specific point in time, copy selection clipboard... yet starts updating automatically upon selection after doing once... anyone have workaround...

c++ - qgraphicsview horizontal scrolling always has a vertical delta -

Image
i've subclassed qgraphicsview custom canvas used in cad application. i've reimplemented qgraphicsview::wheelevent check keyboard modifiers control key and, if control key pressed, zoom. i'm trying implement horizontal scroll when user holds shift , uses wheel. the problem i'm having horizontal scrolling always scrolls 0.279. not huge problem, hugely annoying , points else being wrong. so, here questions: is right way implement horizontal scrolling? if not, is? how eliminate delta of 0.279? thanks in advance. code , sample output below void myview::zoom(int delta) { double factor = pow(1.2, delta/abs(delta)); this->scale(factor, factor); } void myview::scrollhorizontal(int level) { qpointf center = maptoscene(viewport()->rect().center()); qdebug() << "center: " << center.x() << ", " << center.y(); centeron(qpointf(center.x() - level, center.y())); } void myview::wheelevent(qwheeleve...
