After reading: <http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000572.html> I''m trying to experiment with respond_to in order to not repeat myself and create atom feeds out of a "browse" view.

I want to produce google maps KML files which are baiscally XML files with a KML extention. I''m using restful routes and respond_to.

Is there are way to acheive this,

Hi all, I was just wondering if this is the intended behavior.

For example, if I send an xml request

Hi, I have the following in my controller: def show @quest = Quest.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.html format.xml end end And in my routes: map.resources :quests I have two views for this action, quests/show.rhtml and quests/show.rxml.

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

Hey Guys, Here''s the scenario: I''ve got vendor-specific XML I need to create and then POST it somewhere. It sounds easy enough, but I''m running into issues when it comes time to actually use the XML. Trying hard to stay within the MVC pattern I: 1) Create a controller which loads the models I''m about to turn into XML 2) Create an rxml view which renders the

Let''s say an app has a User, and a User has many friends. Also, let''s say the app authentication was built on the restful_authentication plugin, and we have email and password in the Users table. The friends controller index might look like this; # GET /users/1/friends # GET /users/1/friends.xml def index @users = @user.friends respond_to do |format| format.html

Hello All, I''m trying to figure out how respond_to actually works, especially with the increased focus on REST.

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.

Hi, I''ve done AJAX calls to Rails'' Controllers before yet never required to generate a response back to the view. In this respect, I have tried to keep it moronically simple and just add a node to see that it works, yet the response doesn''t come through / isn''t interpreted as it should. Long story short, code : // Have to use Mootools to integrate a

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:
