Hello all, I am trying to export some xml files on the web app as a download, but Firefox/chrome/ie/safari all just display the xml content on themselves. How can I have the download prompt?

Re: xml file download prompt instead of displaying in browser?
Hi Nik,
This is what we have and it seems to work in all the browsers
response.body = xml.to_s
response.content_type = "application/x-generated-xml-backup";
filename = "Filename.xml"
response.headers[''Content-disposition''] =
"Attachment;
filename=\"#{filename}\""
render :text => xml.to_s
Cheers
Simon

Thanks Simon,
Where should I put this code? I have in my controller:
#Controller
def exportxml
if params[:item_ids]
@items = Item.find(params[:item_ids])
respond_to do |format|
format.xml {render :layout=>false}
end
end
end
Cheers!

Hi Zuo, It works! But the XML structure I used in the builder is now lost. The XML file is now filled with the data from the columns. Is there a way I can use my builder and your method? Does anyone have an idea on this ? Thanks! Nik On Oct 16, 7:56 pm, Nik <NiKS...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi Zuo, > > Thank You! It works. Brilliantly.

Re: xml file download prompt instead of displaying in browser?
overwrite the to_xml method in your model or yield the builder object
as part of the to_xml
@item.to_xml do |xml|
# builder stuffs
end

Hi Zuo!
Thank you again for your help! I did this and it says that a "}" is
missing right after * as in :filename=>*
def exportxml
if params[:item_ids] ||= []
@items = Item.find(params[:item_ids])
respond_to do |format|
format.xml {send_data @items.to_xml do |xml|
xml.instruct!
xml.product do
for t in @items
xml.lineitem(:id=>t.name) do
xml.name(t.name)
xml.in(t.tradeIn/85.to_i)
end
xml.logginginfo do
xml.lognote(t.note)
end
end
end
end
end
:filename=> "items.xml"}
end
end
end
The builder stuff is copied straight from the exportxml.xml.builder.
And I don''t know if this is helpful -- if I removed
the :filename=>"items.xml" from above, it downloads! Yet, it again
saves the file without extension and gives me the array of the columns
of the table instead of my builder scheme.
I am sorry to have to ask for your help again.
Thank you
