I use a call to the sanitize method every time I render some user input, but it would be much nicer if I could clean it up once before putting it into the database and avoid having to call the (relatively expensive) sanitize every time I render a page. My first thought was to just add something like: def message=(x) self[:message]=sanitize(x) end However, the sanitize helper cannot be called

Data saved to database, entered in to PDF file, PDF file with data archived, and then distributed va email and/ or download.

on previous apps i hadn''t really worried much about adding foreign key indexes on my tables just because they''ve been fairly small and i didn''t really think i needed them. well, i''m working on something now that has the potential to have a lot more data, and a lot more foreign keys. so i have 3 tables... users, projects, and tasks.. should i be using add_index

Hello, Is there a common way of stripping html tags from a string? Right now I''m just calling gsub!(/<.*?>/, ''''), but with a background in PHP and always having used its strip_tags() method, I wonder if the Rails community has standardized this fairly common task with something a bit less simpleminded than my quick fix. Thanks! Zack -------------- next part

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.

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

OK, so I get that ActiveRecord determines model attributes through reflection of the table schema. Handy for many cases, but not mine. I need to override that and provide my own mapping of attribute names to column names to use the mapped names throughout the application code. I''ve been poking around looking for where in AR''s hierarchy I can can inject this mapping, but

Is this the prefered method to implement RedCloth in your views. I''m trying to display user input that will sometimes have code references in it. This strips out all tags. I would like for the tags to be displayed but not read as html. Thanks in advance! <%= RedCloth.new(strip_tags(comment.comment),[:filter_html]).to_html %> charlie bowman recentrambles.com -- Posted via

AFAICT, this is all I need to do to get a simple example working: the <head> should have this: <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> My test page view should have a div with an id and the ERB like this: <%= link_to_remote ''Click Me'', :url => {:action => ''show_time'', :update => ''time_box''} %>

I''m trying to figure out how Ruby in general, and/or anything extra Rails may have, can talk to Java APIs of third party server apps. After quite a few search attempts net-wide and on ruby forums, and with "Programming Ruby" in hand, I''m coming up with zilch. Either I''m not finding it, or I''m not recognizing it. I''m assuming there has

I''m writing a wizard-like module in my application where, in a series of steps, the user builds upon an ActiveRecord object, and in the end, saves the AR object into the database. The ActiveRecord object is fairly complex, with a has_many association that could potentially get large, so I don''t want to store it directly in the session. In fact, having done so already caused a
