Can Rails be used for printing an order in a store application that has arrived? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m researching generating PDF files via RoR. I see there are packages available to do this. One such package is the PDF-Writer. The examples I saw for this package save the PDF to a file. Is there a way I can output the PDF on-the-fly to the browser rather than having a temporary PDF file? I just can''t have these files laying around since they contain sensitive

...ms getting Pdf::Writer image insertion. pdf.image "/path/to/images/logo.jpg" is firing "JPEG marker not found!" Originally created the RGB (8 bit) JPEG in photoshop. After the above, I''ve exported with an alternate tool using (OSX) preview. This tutorial http://www.artima.com/rubycs/articles/pdf_writer2.html says that CMYK or RGB encoding is needed - so that''s not the problem. Other than that requirement, are there others? Optionally I tried PNG, but this resulted in a nil.unpack error (''The error occured while evaluating nil.unpack'')...

I am trying the railspdf plugin, got it installed using command: ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/railspdfplugin/railspdf/ The problem is that when i re-started my webrick it won''t run, with errors messages like this (shown only first message): *D:/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5

hello Everyone, would like to search this subject in the forms, but since search is disabled I am posting this one. Any insight is much appreciated. I am a newbie to ROR. Wondering what it takes to take a form that is filled by a user and generate a PDF on the fly for his to save or print. I am aware of some PDF libraries for PHP to accomplish this, but not quite sure how to get this done

I apologise in advance for this newbie question but I am still waiting to receive some books on ruby & rails and I can''t find the solution online.

In my rails app I need to create pdf reports on the fly. I have installed railspdf, wich is working fine. But, how can I create tables and paragraphs and stuff? Can I mimic an .rhtml file (using <% for ...%> etc? Or is it wise to use Ruby::PDF directly? Is there anyone out there with experience in this, and who is willing to share his findings? Thx -- Posted via

Is there any way to request WEBrick to shutdown besides hitting CTRL-C at the console? I''m looking for, perhaps, a script/shutdown command, or perhaps a special URL that will request WEBrick to die. It can be a command run in a different shell, or, as I said, a special URL. Anyone? Tom Harris Cisco Systems -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi folks, I''m working with a local high school in the Portland, OR area on the subject of computer science curriculum. We are thinking of introducing a class in web development and I think Rails would be a perfect vehicle. I''ve done some searching on the web but haven''t found any suggestion of HS curriculum for Rails. Any pointers or suggestions? Thanks, ---

I have been lurking in this list a while and searching in the archives to find out how one learns to write fast R code. One solution seems to be to write part of the code not in R but in C. However after finding a benchmark article (http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm) I have been more interested in making the R code itself more efficient. I would like to find more info about this. I have

Are there any plans to move the schema definition from migrations to the model, where it should be? Like og does, which I think is used by the ruby Nitro framework...

Hi Railsers, How do you design your applications? Do you start coding HTML? Start with the controllers/models? Start in a program like photoshop/gimp/illustrator/inkscape? I start in inkscape, it''s a SVG editor. I sketch all the views of my application, and then I create the views that belong to one controller in RHTML. After that, I do the models/controller, and move on to the

I hope this isn''t too rambly. This is sort of a brain dump of a subject I''ve been thinking about for months as I''ve used RSpec. Let''s say we''ve got a simple query method, that will find all the users in the DB older than 18. Our model could look like class User < ActiveRecord::Base def self.find_older_than(age) find :all, :conditions =>
