I haven''t delved into the wonderful world of PDF::Writer yet, nor have I run across a need.. but I just had an idea I wanted to throw out there how hard would it be to create a .rpdf template plugin for rails? could be neat ;]

Yup, that''s what i was thinking. If I ever need to use PDF, I''ll probably poke at it. I dunno when or if that''ll happen though. I noticed a few people on the list playing with PDf stuff, and thought it''d be worth bringing up - if people are doing extensive PDF work, might make their (and others) lives easier to make a plugin. sometimes I wish I had more time ;] On Wed, 2005-12-14 at 19:43 -0600, Marcel Molina Jr. wrote:> On Wed, Dec 14, 2005 at 05:34:33PM -0800, Jerrett Taylor wrote: > > I haven''t delved into the wonderful world of PDF::Writer yet, nor have I > > run across a need.. but I just had an idea I wanted to throw out there > > > > how hard would it be to create a .rpdf template plugin for rails? > > > > could be neat ;] > > Plugging in a new templating system for Rails is easy.

I was just going to suggest the same thing! I was writing the email when your popped in. This certainly is a good idea.

I think I''m going to take a shot at it, as it will be quite useful to me, and release it as a plugin. Anyone interested in working with me?

I''ve submitted a project to Ruby Forge for a central repository and release location. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon (the site says within 72 hours).

Anyone else can feel free to jump in!I agree. Liquid definately looks to be the best place to start. Once the ruby forge project goes through, anyone interested can join there. I will start e-mailing off the list. Anyone else who wants to join up, email either Matthew or me. Then we can get organized on Ruby Forge.
josh: I''d be interested in working with you on this. Like everyone else, I am very busy. Do you have any idea how long such a project might take one average coder? Once I had that number, I''d be able to assess if I would be an asset or liability to the project. And, of course, by when you would want to have it done. I''m getting a bit old for till 4am in the morning programming sessions, so I''d like to do this on a civilized time scale. And since all that may have sounded more negative than it really is - I''m interested in principle. bruce On 14-Dec-05, at 7:18 PM, Josh Charles wrote:> On 12/14/05, Marcel Molina Jr. <marcel-WRrfy3IlpWYdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org> wrote: >> Plugging in a new templating system for Rails is easy.

yes, we''ve taken that as a starting point and expanded upon it. The new code can be found at RubyForge under Rails PDF plugin. installation is as simple as : ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/railspdfplugin/railspdf/ It depends on PDF::Writer, so make sure you have that installed before you run the plugin.
