Since all my efforts to control how to_xml() is formatting dates has failed, I''m now considering writing my own to_xml(). However, from the limited examples I''ve found, I just don''t understand how to actually reference the columns for the records in my record set. Here''s a simplified view of my ActiveRe...

When I call to_xml on an array, I want it to get the XML for all the elements in it. I''ve defined to_xml in my class. >> r.to_xml => "<video><id>1</id><views>2</views></video>" >> a = [r] => [#<StatisticsReport:0x3259f38 @video_id=1, @views...

How they differ? Does the to_xml method of the classes array/hash/object is based on ROXML lib? As I see in http://roxml.rubyforge.org/#quickstart, roxml needs we define the class (class Book in the guide) before to convert a object to xml. Moreover, the method to_xml (when not using "include ROXML") just accepts any exi...

I have a unit test that demonstrates some inconsistent behavior with a Hash being converted to XML with the :root option. Sometimes it works fine: Hash.new.to_xml(:root => ''test'') "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<test>\n</test>\n" But sometimes I get an argument error: Hash.new.to_xml(:root => ''test'') ArgumentError Exception: wrong number of arguments (1...

Let''s say an app has a User, and a User has many friends. Also, let''s say the app authentication was built on the restful_authentication plugin, and we have email and password in the Users table. The friends controller index might look like this; # GET /users/1/friends # GET /users/1/friends.xml def index @users = @user.friends respond_to do |format| format.html

When I do a to_xml(with a block) on an association of a model I got a Builder::XmlMarkup#to_ary should return Array Example that does not work. @intervenant = Intervenant.find(params[:id]) output = @intervenant.to_xml( :skip_types => false, :dasherize => false) do |xml| @intervenant.individu.t...

i have: class Library << ActiveRecord::Base has_many :books end class Book << ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :library end in my controller i have: render :xml=> Library.find(:all).to_xml(:include=>books) but, i would like put a condition in the books ( e.: pages >= 100 ) i would like to create a xml with all Libraries, but books with pages more than 100) How to do this? -- Ítalo Matos Cavalcante Santos Desenvolvedor Web/Mobile Analista de Sistemas http://italomatos.word...

Hi. I have a question about activerecord, computed columns and to_xml. I have a simple model called person that has a first_name and a last_name field (and thus a first_name and last_name field in the Person table). When I :find a model and call to_xml, I would like the result to not only send back first name and last name as xml but also add an additional attr...

Say I want to output XML like this: <myXML> <id>123</id> <fruit>apple</fruit> <fruit>banana</fruit> <fruit>pear</fruit> <fruit>lemon</fruit> </myXML> Is there a way of doing that with to_xml? It seems like there''s two problems: to_xml always creates a wrapping element <fruits> when it encounters an array, and... You can put plain strings into hash values and it works, but plain strings in arrays doesn''t work. That''s this guy''s problem again h...

Hi all, I am getting ActiveRecord to produce XML with render :xml => @user.to_xml However, on the client end it is a bit annoying for me to deal with attributes like first-name. I would much rather have first_name. Is there any way for me to turn off the behavior of converting _ to -? This seems to be done by a call to dasherize inside the to_xml of ActiveSupport::CoreExtens...

Hi, i m trying to do some kind of database dump using .to_xml and after i try to fill my database back (well an other) with the content of the xml. Right now i m doing that : @xml = Video.find(:all).to_xml(:include=>[:vlogiciels]) it does produce : <videos> <video> <mycolumns> ..... <vlogiciels>...

Hi! I''d like to know how to (most easily) ignore some elements from produced XML .. for example: @people.to_xml produces: <person> <id>2</id> <name>bob</name> <street>carson street</street> </person> ... How can I *not* produce the "ID" field for example? Thank you! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------...

to_xml uses up huge amounts of memory. Whether I use to_xml on an activerecord object directly, or create a hash from the activerecord object and then call to_xml on the hash, creating a 1.6mb xml file eats up 50mb of ram in rails.

In Chapter 5 of his book, Flexible Rails, Peter Armstrong''s leads his readers through an exercise to override the behavior of to_xml() in ActiveRecord objects so that :dasherize would be false by default. I found his solution inelegant. I came up with a more elegant one, and it seems to work. All I did was add the following to the very end of myapp/config/ environment.rb: class ActiveRecord::Base def to_xml(options=nil, &a...

20 / 20 hind sight, I would probably do things different today but I have most of my active record classes under different parent classes. For example: module Foo class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base ... end end The to_xml for this produces <foo/bar> .... </foo/bar> The / in a tag name is not allowed. Questions: 1) Is this a bug? 2) If so, suggestion of what to convert it to? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message beca...

Hello, I''m working on a Rails app which has a REST API. I manage two formats JSON and XML. Very often to simplify the use if the API, I''m making includes. But when you add params to to_json and to_xml like :only, :except, it''s not only applied on the root object but on all the objects included. Do you know libs or methods to answer to these different problems: * Tell never return a user password in the API * Tell always include a relationship or a method in each user serialized in the...

I''m looking for comments on http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10162 In my opinion, the current behaviour is a bug, and should be fixed. If you have a use case where passing procs to the child associations is actually useful, chime in.
