Hi there, I need to: 1. STORE a text of the below format in a (MySQL) database (using a ''textarea''), and then 2.

Hello! Is there a way to reverse the TextHelper simple_format? I.e. to take some text with <p> tags and <br> tags and convert them into line breaks in a smart way?

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 writing a bloggish/CMSish thing. I had been using simple_format, but my users requested a rich editor, so I added TinyMCE. Anyway, I was trying to migrate the existing content (since TinyMCE assumes it''s reading HTML-formatted text), and realized that I couldn''t call simple_format (or other helper methods) from Migrations. Can someone enlighten me here?

I was previously doing an update via .rhtml templates creating an AJAX :evaluate_remote_response. I use UTF-8 in my pages, and my app requires that I be able to, say, put Japanese characters in.

I am trying to write a :with hash for the observe_field helper watching a select which was built by select_month--it contains all of the months. The current :with that I have, which works, is: :with => "month" ,which passes the updated month in the select through params[:month]. However, I need to pass the current year through params[:year], which does not change when the month

TO convert line returns to <br>s, etc. @project_note = ProjectNote.new(params[:project_note]) @project_note.body = simple_format(@project_note.body) Since this happens in a controller,

Hi everyone, is there any way how to use Helpers in Controllers in Rails 3? I was trying to google about it, but no luck. In old Rails times (2.x) we were using something like this. my_active_record_object.variable = "This is the message body:<br /><br /> #{@template.simple_format(params["message"])}" point is that when we wanted to attach text from Text Area to

Greetings, I''m not sure if I''m maybe not understanding the helper functions correctly, but I''m having a weird problem that seems like it shouldn''t be. I''m sanitizing some book names for url''s using my application helper: -- application helper def format_url(url) title = url clean_string(title) truncate(@title, 100, "")

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, I was wondering how to get url_for to work inside ActionMailer. I did research on the web but I can''t seem to find something that fits what I need. In my application, each user can specify their custom domain to access their. I have an ActionMailer that sends them notifications of changes that occur. In there, I have a breadcrumbs helper method, which generages something like:

I''m trying to pass an ERB block to a helper, and I''m not able to achieve the results I want.

I have been working on this small, minute, part on my project and it all hinges on setting the value in a text_field helper. Saying: <%= text_field ''user'', ''company'', :value => @login %> does not do it. When I go and look at the raw html, there is no value there and "value" is an attribute of the input tag, im pretty sure. I really like
