Hi All, I bought the ''beta book'' of Rails Recipes from pragprog and there''s a tutorial in there for producing RSS 2.0, i''d like to generate RSS (RDF) 1.0 though. Can anyone point in the right direction. I''ve had little luck finding detailed information on the ruby XML class. Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m working on a RSS aggregator, and I''ve based the parser on a script from this post; http://www.superwick.com/archives/2007/06/09/rss-feed-parsing-in-ruby-on-rails/ But, being the complete newbie, I''ve found that this parser only works for specifically formatted feeds. For example, some feeds will throw a ''nil text'' error. I know that I could make

Hi I am trying to use the RSS classes from "rss/2.0" and everything works but I want to know what attributes and properties I can get at from each of the classes I am getting back. For example, the class has a "channel" which I can tell has a "title" attribute (because it works when I query it :) but I would really like a list of every attribute that is

Based on the suggestions here I decided to use SimpleRSS but no matter what RSS feed I try, I keep getting the error: "Poorly formatted feed" I have tried "well formatted" RSS 0.91, 0.92 and 2.0 feeds but to no avail. Can anyone please come to my rescue? Thanks Frank --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? With a free 1 GB,

Hi One of our customers has a Filemaker database which needs to be accessed for some data. Using the Web Companion, I can query the database for an XML version of the data. I need to be able to push this data into an array of hashes, so I can access it in a more convenient way. Filemaker is able to provide me with 2 XML formats (DSO-XML and FMP-XML): *********** DSO-XML ***********

Hi, I''m confused about how form verification with AJAX works. Let''s say I have a ''new.rhtml'' view that contains a form with two fields, and the form action is ''create''. Let''s assume that I also want to do some type of data validation on one of the two fields via AJAX before I submit the form. But since I''ve already

Hi all, I''ve been looking at the performance of my fb app and one glaring issue seems to be with the parsing speed of rexml in processing the results. Has anyone looked into porting the facebooker parser from rexml to libxml? If not, any reason I shouldn''t try? Thanks!

I am using Ruby feedparser and when I try to parse this feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mobilecrunch I get an error: REXML::ParseException: Declarations can only occur in the doctype declaration.

Hey everyone, I''ve been refactoring Mechanize for an 0.7.0 release. Basically I''m trying to clean the code up and there are a few features that I think are unnecessary, but I would like to ask people first. 1) REXML as a parser. I want to remove support for REXML. I don''t use it. Hpricot seems to do everything I need. 2) 1.8.2 thru 1.8.4 support

Was trying to understand more about the internals of wxruby-swig, where does the big chunk of XML comes from? I saw something similiar in Python, is that massaged out of there? The codes produced by extractxml.rb and wxclasses-2.4.2.xml is quite different from the original header files. Just for example the WxDialog class. OnXXX are non-virtual in WxWidgets, but virtual in wxruby-swig

since http://nqxml.sourceforge.net/ also recommends that we switch to use rexml which is shipped with ruby? If there are plans for it but no developers, I might take it up as an exercise to learn the internals of wxruby-swig. Cheers, Phuah Yee Keat
