Railsers: As usual for a product written very rapidly, most of its documentation assumes some other documentation told you something critical. For example, the file form_helper.rb tempts me with this documentation: # <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" }, :builder => LabellingFormBuilder do |f| %> That''s beautiful. Now what do I

Railsers: I switched from MySQL to Sqlite3 for Test-Driven Development. It meant the difference between (Long term, I want to understand the db:migrate system well enough that I can run a long test, occassionally, that migrates everything to MySQL and retests it there. That will prevent nasty surprises at deployment time. But that''s not the current question!) Because I don''t

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

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"

When I read... http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Routes ...it reminds me of the Apache documentation for mod_rewrite. I hope someone appreciates the candor of my

Railsters: ActiveRecord''s validation system puts other database systems to shame. However, the newbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this:

RSpeckers: I went with RSpec instead of Systir because I downloaded and installed the former first.

I upgraded to Rails 1.2.1 and deployed to my ISP, who has 1.2.1 ready and waiting. The site disappeared into an HTTP 500 error.

Railsoids: FormTestHelper rules. It tests your response.body form at the same time as it triggers your action, with all the parameters in that form. This obviously improves quality. But it took issue with this: submit_form ''validate_stuff'' do |form| form[''IBhidden''] = ''validate'' end The field IBhidden is a hidden field. To be

Hi, Sorry abt the half finished post that I sent out earlier. The idea is to generate an output xml response as such: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <response status=''NOT_AVAILABLE''> <message>Some text</message> <from>Me</from> </response> I make a request like such

Hi, add_rjs_to_action_view.rb of javascript_generator_templates doesn''t work with setting Content-Type in a controller.

Hello... I''m trying to generate and XML file using .rxml and I''m having a problem with element names that contain a hyphen.

Is there a style guide for RoR? For example, I see that rails likes to create things like <% ... %> <% ... %> <% ... %> and I''m tempted to write this as <% ... ... ... %> but I''m not sure if doing so will make my code "look wrong". Since I''m a beginner, I''d like to get into the habit of writing code that has a conventional

Hello, I am new in this group. Please give me a short hint, in case this is the wrong place for my posting. I want to create an XML file and store it in "filetransfer".
