Hi For an application we need to obtain data from a .NET based web service. I''ve been "playing" with some sample code to invoke web services as a soap client. They work ok with services that offer a .wsdl link. However, .NET based services are called with "*.asmx?WSDL". The wsdlDriver (I guess SOAP4R) barfs on this. Anybody have practical experience and willing/able

Hi all, In the code below I don''t understand: 1. Why I have to prepend overriden method content_columns with "self." to get it working? 2. Why column_for_attribute method is not working (no such method?) even if SomeTable is subclass of ActiveRecord::Base which have public column_for_attribute method? > class SomeTable < ActiveRecord::Base > > def

Hi all, I was just wondering if this is the intended behavior. Here is my setup: controller def index respond_to do |f| f.xml { render :xml => true } f.html { render :layout => :none } end end In my views I have a file for each type index.herb index.xerb The first request I send is cached and interferes with the other one. For example, if I send an xml request

hello, with facebooker can I get a list of someone''s facebook friends, only using his facebook id? If yes, then please let me know how... (and don''t read further) If this is not possible, then here is my problem: ------------------------------------------- I have a flash movie embedded in the canvas page of my Facebooker application.

All, I have a RXML template which renders partial RXML templates within it. A snippet is below. The "xml" variable is the parent template''s Builder variable. It is passed into the partial under the name "parent_xml". Why can''t I use :locals => {.... :xml => xml ....} in my call to render the partial? It seems like if I do use :xml => xml, it

Greetings, I''m a newby to both "R"s in RoR. I would like to use Builder::XmlMarkup to generate my pages. If there is a working downloadable example somewhere, that would probably be enough. Otherwise, here''s what I want to do: With the following controller: class AccountsController < ApplicationController layout ''accounts'' model :account

My code executes fully: <% for column in ModelName.content_columns %> <th><%= column.human_name %></th> <% end %> but it does not pick up any columns in my model''s table that end in "_id". Is this by design? Is there a helper method that will reference the related tables? Or will I need to code the column titles and detail records by

I''m having a problem in Rails 2 where respond_to is always rendering the RXML view even in the HTML rendering response. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? Here''s a code snippet: respond_to do |accepts| accepts.html accepts.xml { render :action => ''show.rxml'', :layout => false} end If I change this to the following it works fine:

The first problem is that if you make a builder or .rxml file it always displays as xml in a browser. declare! it and the browser gives and error and if you change rxml to rhtml then it thinks you should be making erb. SO quetion #1 is how do I make builder files render in the browser as html. The next thing that I want to be able to do is be able to render parcials or call other files of other

RJS templates are the only template type that are exempt from layout by default. Don''t you think it makes sense to add rxml to the list of exempt extensions? I''d assume most people would be surprised to see their XML embedded in the middle of their (most probably) rhtml layout. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/actionpack/lib/ action_controller/base.rb:

I''ve gone once through the Agile book and am now attempting my own rails app. I''ve created a table named ''volunteers'' with over 15 columns. The problem is the default list.rhtml that is created with the scaffold, shows all the columns. I only want to show 4 of them with the list view. Where would I start to only return a handfull of columns to the

Hi, in the tutorial "4 Days on Rails" the following code fragment is used: ,---- | <% for column in Category.content_columns %> | <td><%=h category.send(column.name) %></td> | <% end %> `---- Apparently, the send() function returns the column value by name, but where does this function comes from? Unfortunately, neither the tutorial nor the API

Standard behavior for the list action is to use content_columns to get all the fields of a model and then do something with them. I''d like to ignore some of them and iteratre over the rest. For instance I may have A B C D ... X Y Z and I''d like to do something special with A and B and then Y and Z, but in the middle I''d definitely like a loop to say

All, I have ordered AWDWR and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. In the meantime I still am playing with ROR using radrails. I have a few questions ... I create a table named customers with the following details: Field Type Null Key Default Extra id int(11) NO PRI auto_increment customer_name varchar(50) NO inbound_retention int(11) NO outbound_retention int(11) NO unix_admin_email

I?m following along a few tutorials on the web and trying to implement my own example, but I must be missing something because I can?t get has_many or belongs_to to work like I expected. now I have watched all the videos and made a cookbook several times with different interfaces. what I''m looking for is *not* a code snippet to solve something (because I already have that),

All, I did a scaffold for a model and I ended up with this code in list.rhtml: <% for column in TargetList.content_columns %> <td><%=h target_list.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> Where is the "send" method and what does it do? I can''t find it on ActiveRecord::Base? I assume that it returns a value based on the column id but I

I am working a Bibtex database for my school using Rails and I need some idea on how to manage the bibtex types. I crated an Author and Publications model and put has_and_belongs_to_many relationship between them. The user model basically is like this: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :publications end The Publication model has all the Bibtex fields

Hi, a Javascript in one of my Rails templates needs to load a static XML file. I tried several places to put the actual XML file, and I also tried to make the file a rails template (tried both .rhtml and .rxml) and access it via a controller action. None of these ways worked. Does the lighttpd server know how to serve XML files, or do I need to configure it first? Or, is there a good workaround?

I''m having an odd problem. I''m trying to create an RSS feed (working off the Recipe), but "xml.link" generates error about "Can''t convert Hash to String". From the error trace, it *looks* like it''s calling the a fileutil ''link'' method (as in, filesystem symbolic link) - even xml.tag! generates this error. Er, how do I make

I am using rxml to produce opml files and need to escape ampersands in the attributes. builder 2.0 docs found at http://builder.rubyforge.org/ show the following xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new xml.sample(:escaped=>"This&That", :unescaped=>:"Here&amp;There") xml.target! => <sample escaped="This&amp;That"
