similar to: Patch to fix docs for auto_link

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 there''s an open ticket for this:

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.

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

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.

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! The error occured while evaluating nil.gsub On line #28 of app/views/personnel/list.rhtml 25: <tr valign="top" class="<%= alternate_rows

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''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

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 of

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/.

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

Hi, I want to access TextHelper and UrlHelper methods in my model so how i am able to access it ? I was included following helper in my model but still it is not working? also for accessing these helper method w need to give external reference? E.g. class Xyz include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper include ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper Also

Hi everyone, I just created my first rails patch. It is a simple textile doc error requiring only a single word to be changed. https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/5779 I uploaded a .diff file. Not sure what to do now but lighthouse guide says I should ask on here for someone to take a look. Thank you for your time, fooledbyprimes Peoria, Illinois, USA --

Hi Guys, I just realize that on the API documentation the code snippet is overflowing off the screen. Is this an intended behavior? Or who should I contact to get this one fixed. You can see the screenshot here: http://skitch.com/sikachu/dw82n/screen-shot-2553-08-30-at-16.24.26 Thanks :) Prem Sichanugrist -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby

I want to test that the JSON response 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

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

Hi there, I need to: 1. STORE a text of the below format in a (MySQL) database (using a ''textarea''), and then 2. RETRIEVE & DISPLAY it in exactly the same format (meaning: keeping all paragraphs/line breaks). The intended text format looks like this: *** Blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah, blah blahblah. <- NEW

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 impact of HTML or JS
