Hi, I''m pretty sure to have seen a new method ''remove_accents'' in Rails 2.2 but I can''t find it again. Is it me or does this method exists for good ?

Hi Bob,
I don''t know about such a method, but I hope it exists. In the mean
time, I''ve tried one I found on this same forum (in French:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/144612#784212). Unfortunately, it
doesn''t work when I run my application, but it works in irb! I suspect
it''s got to do with encoding...
def ApplicationHelper.remove_accents( str )
accents = {
[''á'',''à'',''â'',''ä'',''ã'',''Ã'',''Ä'',''Â'',''À'']
=> ''a'',
[''é'',''è'',''ê'',''ë'',''Ë'',''É'',''È'',''Ê'']
=> ''e'',
[''í'',''ì'',''î'',''ï'',''I'',''Î'',''Ì'']
=> ''i'',
[''ó'',''ò'',''ô'',''ö'',''õ'',''Õ'',''Ö'',''Ô'',''Ò'']
=> ''o'',
[''œ''] => ''oe'',
[''ß''] => ''ss'',
[''ú'',''ù'',''û'',''ü'',''U'',''Û'',''Ù'']
=> ''u''
}
accents.each do |ac,rep|
ac.each do |s|
str.gsub!(s, rep)
end
end
return str
end
I tried setting $KCODE="UTF-8" or $KCODE="ISO-8859-1" at the
top of my
source code, as suggested by cwilliams (creator of RadRails:
http://forums.aptana.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8234), but that
doesn''t
solve my problem. If you get this working in a real application, please
let me know; I''m getting desparate!
Thanks,
Chris.

Here''s another solution: http://www.techniconseils.ca/en/scripts-remove-accents-ruby.php Unfortunately, I still have the same encoding problems, but hopefully it''ll work for you. And don''t hesitate to get back to me if you think you know what I''m doing wrong :) Good luck, Chris. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Bob, Rails doesn''t have a specific method to remove diacritics. There are a couple alternatives - I used the 1st one and it works really great: + http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/5609 + http://github.com/thbar/diacritics_fu/tree/master + http://www.jroller.com/obie/tags/ruby + http://www.techniconseils.ca/en/scripts-remove-accents-ruby.php Cheers, Sazima On Feb 20, 7:24 am, Chris Gers32 <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Here''s another solution: > > http://www.techniconseils.ca/en/scripts-remove-accents-ruby.php > > Unfortunately, I still have the same encoding problems, but hopefully > it''ll work for you.
