similar to: Overriding to_xml() - Why Does This Work?

Hi all, I''m trying to turn off dasherize in all cases, since converting underscores to hyphens breaks the way that I want to handle XML (with E4X in Flex 2). I''ve read the other threads about dasherize on this list. I''m on Edge Rails, so I can successfully turn off dasherize for a single usage with something like render :xml => @task.to_xml(:dasherize => false)

Hi all, I am getting ActiveRecord to produce XML with render :xml => @user.to_xml However, on the client end it is a bit annoying for me to deal with attributes like first-name. I would much rather have first_name. Is there any way for me to turn off the behavior of converting _ to -? This seems to be done by a call to dasherize inside the to_xml of

When I do a to_xml(with a block) on an association of a model I got a Builder::XmlMarkup#to_ary should return Array Example that does not work. @intervenant = Intervenant.find(params[:id]) output = @intervenant.to_xml( :skip_types => false, :dasherize => false) do |xml| @intervenant.individu.to_xml( :builder => xml, :skip_instruct => true, :skip_types => false,

Hi, I am trying to create an pdf report by using ruby jasper pages. For that I have written customer_list.rxml file like this: xml.instruct! xml.customer_list_result do xml.invoice_customers do @customers.each do |customer| xml << customer.to_xml(:dasherize=>false,:skip_instruct=>true,:only=>[:id,:name,:city],:root=>"customer") end end end I want to

hi, i am looking for a solution whereupon calling myEntityObject.to_xml does not convert my attributes containing underscores into hyphens. at the moment an attribute named "my_own_attribute" is converted into <my-own-attribute>. does anybody have an idea how to change that and have to_xml generate <my_own_attribute> thanks ciao robertj -- Posted via

Since all my efforts to control how to_xml() is formatting dates has failed, I''m now considering writing my own to_xml(). However, from the limited examples I''ve found, I just don''t understand how to actually reference the columns for the records in my record set. Here''s a simplified view of my ActiveRecord object: class Errors < ActiveRecord::Base

I have been researching a problem and found that ticket 4989 solves my problem (to_xml has new dasherize option). I am new to RoR and was wondering if the patch that has been mentioned is available for public release. If so where can I find it and how to apply? Thank you Andrew -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

When I call to_xml on an array, I want it to get the XML for all the elements in it. I''ve defined to_xml in my class. >> r.to_xml => "<video><id>1</id><views>2</views></video>" >> a = [r] => [#<StatisticsReport:0x3259f38 @video_id=1, @views=2>] >> a.to_xml => "<?xml version=\"1.0\"

When I call to_xml on my active record objects, it replaces underscores with hypens. E.g.: <categories> <category> <content-provider-id type="integer">1</content-provider-id> <id type="integer">2</id> <name>Traffic Alerts</name> </category> </categories> When the actual field is content_provider_id. I remember

Hi. I have a question about activerecord, computed columns and to_xml. I have a simple model called person that has a first_name and a last_name field (and thus a first_name and last_name field in the Person table). When I :find a model and call to_xml, I would like the result to not only send back first name and last name as xml but also add an additional attribute called full_name that is

Hi, I have an array with objects and I want to generate an XML like: <objects> <object> <category_id>1</category_id> <helper-method>result 1</helper-method> </object> <object> <category_id>2</category_id> <helper-method>result 2</helper-method> </object> </objects> The helper

to_xml uses up huge amounts of memory. Whether I use to_xml on an activerecord object directly, or create a hash from the activerecord object and then call to_xml on the hash, creating a 1.6mb xml file eats up 50mb of ram in rails.

For example, let''s say I have a User model with 2 attributes: 1. pw_hash 2. pw_salt I don''t want these to show up in the to_xml method. How do I keep to_xml from using these attributes? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

Say I want to output XML like this: <myXML> <id>123</id> <fruit>apple</fruit> <fruit>banana</fruit> <fruit>pear</fruit> <fruit>lemon</fruit> </myXML> Is there a way of doing that with to_xml? It seems like there''s two problems: to_xml always creates a wrapping element <fruits> when it encounters an

Hi, I was advised to use either the :methods option of to_xml or use a block to add additional tags to the output. What I''m trying to do is add a permalink tag to each element in a collection, but I can''t seem to get it right. If I use the :methods option of to_xml, I''d need to access an url helper from a model, and I haven''t figured that out yet. When using

Hi, a couple of days ago I filed a ticket related to a problem with the to_xml ActiveRecord method. ( https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/3982-patch-solved-a-bug-that-prevented-xml-serialization-when-activerecord-attributes-contains-more-than-column-values ). I solved it by making to_xml to infere the type by means of a ruby-xml type conversion, using a Hash that was already

Activerecord supports eager loading with the following syntax: Author.find(:all, :include=>[{:posts=>:comments}, :categorizations]. to_xml has an :include option that supports a shallow form of eager loading to create the xml: author.to_xml(:include[:posts]). Is there a way to generate the xml from all associated objects for a particular model instance?

I have a unit test that demonstrates some inconsistent behavior with a Hash being converted to XML with the :root option. Sometimes it works fine: Hash.new.to_xml(:root => ''test'') "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<test>\n</test>\n" But sometimes I get an argument error: Hash.new.to_xml(:root =>

How they differ? Does the to_xml method of the classes array/hash/object is based on ROXML lib? As I see in http://roxml.rubyforge.org/#quickstart, roxml needs we define the class (class Book in the guide) before to convert a object to xml. Moreover, the method to_xml (when not using "include ROXML") just accepts any existing object, what is much suitable. I need to compare and tranfer

I recently submitted a patch to work around an issue I was having & added a new optional behaviour to the to_xml method but on further reflection I wonder if the default behaviour should be changed.
