Hi, I was advised to use either the :methods option of to_xml or use a block to add additional tags to the output. What I''m trying to do is add a permalink tag to each element in a collection, but I can''t seem to get it right. If I use the :methods option of to_xml, I''d need to access an url helper from a model, and I haven''t figured that out yet. When using either a proc or a block I don''t know how to get the current record from the collection in order to use a url helper. For example: render :xml => @messages do |options| options[:builder].tag!(''permalink'', message_url(WHAT_DO_I_PUT_HERE?) end Any pointers? Thanks in advance. - Ivan V. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
