I''m having trouble succesfully getting access to the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper.strip_tags method from one of my controllers. If I try to call it directly using ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper.strip_tags I get undefined method `strip_tags'' for ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper:Module What is the preferred way to make ActionView helpers available to a descendant...

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.

...guess it''s not kosher to use viewer code, and Rails doesn''t let me. (Some interesting discussions back from January 05 in the mail archives). I see lots of examples of how to use helper :my_helper in a controller, with MY own generated helpers, but how can I use the core API TextHelper suite? err... and is there an opposite to simple_format, that converts <br>s into line returns? regex would be simple enough of course, but if somebody already wrote it into the API... (Yes, I did check the API as far as I could). TIA, Micah -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/...

Hello all, I''m using the sanitize() method from TextHelper in my application, which appears to use the VERBOTEN_TAGS constant to define which tags to escape out from the HTML. I''d like to modify VERBOTEN_TAGS to include some more tags, but I''m not sure where I would place the necessary code in my rails app. Any ideas? Thanks, Kami...

Hey All, I''m attempting to upgrade my app from rails 2.0.2 to 2.3.3. One bit that''s failing is this call here (in /views/projects/show.html.erb) <%= markdown(@project.description) %> That earns me a: uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper::Markdown On that line. I''m on a rebuilt machine (windows xp, ruby 1.8.6) so I thought it was a missing bluecloth gem, but I think I fixed that (bc works in irb at least). What would be good to diagnose & fix this problem? Many thanks! -Roy GHC Confidentiality Statement This m...

All, I have a little namespace collision here. I am trying to use both RubyfulSoup (an HTML parser - which I highly recommend by the way) and the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper class. Within the TextHelper class, there''s an attempt to create a new "Tag" object. However, Tag is also defined in the RubyfulSoup gem and it is _this_ Tag class whose initialize method is being called (and failing of course). So, is my choice simply which Gem to hack a...

Hi! I wanna take a stab at implementing better XSS prevention for Rails. This time for real =) I''m wondering what would be the better way, clean everything up with tidy first and then do the rest with regexp or regexp all the way? Anybody done this before? Thanks! Ciao! Florian

I''m a newbie to rails, and really to the whole DRY and MVC thing as well, except where I accidentally fell into things doing it my own way in the past. I''ve got a fairly complex DB structure I want to create an interface for using Rails. Getting simple tables to display, edit, save, not too much problem there. But where I''m having trouble is figuring out where to

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.

Does Rails have built in support for alternating table row colors? Thanks, Sam

...from a create action is sanitized properly, but rspec or webrat appears to be parsing the output into proper HTML chars instead of escaped characters. I have verified that it escapes properly in the regular browser json response. The relevant RSpec test code is: include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper include ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper it "should automatically sanitize any HTML or script characters" do post :create, :post_id => @post.id, :content => "<h1>Oh Hai!</h1><script>", :user_id =>...

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-example-in-auto_link-docs-to-corr...

I have a MySQL "text" element that I''m trying to display, but it''s not formatting (i.e. it''s all one big paragraph). In the AWD depot example it doesn''t look like they do anything special, but they get formatted text. I''ve tried it with both: <%= show.description %> - puts text, and formats according to any HTML tags I typed in.

Hi @ all I would like to enter a text with a text_area into the database. It runs excellent. But when I want to show the entered text in the show view, all newlines (paragraphs) are deleted and the text is only one block. How can I save the returns (newlines) too?

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/.

...lah blah blahblah blah, blah blahblah. *** Until now: - the text is stored in exactly this format in a ''text'' field in the database (which I believe is the correct way to do it) - I have used ''simple_format'' (http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/TextHelper.html#M001719) for displaying The problem is: LINE BREAKS are displayed correctly, but NOT the PARAGRAPHS (they appear like simple line breaks).

So I''ve googled my brains out, and I see a lot of talk about TextHelper for views, but next to no discussion about cleaning text _before_ it is saved. I figured this had to be asked 4 zillion times, but I''m not finding anything concrete/obvious. Using h is fine as a safety catch, but that alone is not acceptable to me as the means of diffusing the im...
