Hi There, So I was just having some trouble with auto_link and markdown. Specfically auto_link was failing to handle urls with tildas in them (~) e.g. http://www.hawaii.edu/~name/index.html and markdown couldn''t handle an acute accent (`) e.g. Hawai`i It seems that acute accents (or backticks) in Markdown signify code segments, and it seems t...

Hi I''ve contributed a patch which fixes an incorrect example in the documentation for auto_link in ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper. The example uses truncate in the old style of tuncate(text, length) which no longer works, so I''ve patched it to use the new tuncate(text, :length => n) style. https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/5694-change-truncate-...

Hi everyone, When running tests, I get this error for running auto_link on a set of column data: test_list(PersonnelControllerTest): ActionView::TemplateError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

Hi There, so I worked out what I should be doing to try and contribute code to rails (I''m currently working on patches for collection_select and auto_link). I''m following the instructions here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ and have checked out actionpack. Trying to run the actionpack tests I get this error: D:\User\Code\ruby\actionpack\test>ruby controller/base_test.rb d:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:144:in `activate'...

I''m using simple_format to format and display posted content from users. This content sometimes has urls in it. The problem I''m having is that if the urls are long enough to wrap, they do, but the url gets split with a <br> tag. Then, if the user clicks on the link, only the first, non-wrapped part of the link gets posted to the browser... and that''s an invalid

Hi, I have the following problem that I can''t seem to figure out. I want to able to fetch some text from my database record in my controller, and then add two links within the text and then send that back to the view to get rendered so that the two links appear as links and when clicked on, they''d basically call the corresponding action for the link. Would anybody know how to

I tried to use a before_save and use simple_format, it returns and undefined method error. Can I even use these methods within a model? I tried to use auto_link and it failed too. What am I doing wrong? Furthermore, would it be recommended I format text before saving it to the database? Advantages or disadvantages? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, This is more of a Ruby question than Rails. I want to autolink url''s in a given string. I''m not great with regular expressions and I wandered if anybody has an example. Thanks.

say i wanted to allow only certain html characters from my user submissions, and strip everything else. does rails have a built-in for this?

I''ve checked the Rails documentation but find no mention of link_to ''external url'' or equivalent. Does rails have a built in method to do this? thanks -Lindsay -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a text_area to accept upto 1000 chars, which is stored as a blob in mysql. When I try to display the saved data, I dont see the new line characters - however I could see the newline characters in EDIT MODE. So my newline char is lost during displaying. Any ideas how to fix it. thanks thila -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a model that deals with HTML and I want to use the text_helper.sanitize method to strip the HTML of Javascript. However, it doesn''t appear that I can get easy access to the text_helper methods from within a model. Anyone have any suggestions for how to do this? In general, I think that there are some ActionView helpers which are generic enough to want to use in a model class.

Perhaps I need a break, but I can''t find the answer for this simple question. I have a database which also contains an internet address. I want to show this address with a link (wich is named link). When I do; <%= link_to ''link'', camping.website %> I get a clickable link. But the destination is http://www.my_own_homepage/www.homepage.nl (what I want is of

Let me apologize in advance as this is a topic that I feel passionate and opinionated about. If I''m coming on too strong, please forgive me. === Be opinionated=== My first piece of advice is simple: be opinionated. Change the method name to simply <feed_for>. Have it default to doing the right thing. Perhaps give an option to change the default feed format, but default to
