similar to: how to rename and xml element

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\"

Hi All, I''m trying to return XML from a Rails view of an object I built up using Builder::XmlMarkup and I find an annoying side effect is that I get an extra <to_xml/> or <to_s/> element back which makes REXML hiccup thinking I''m adding a recond root element when I try to parse the return. How can I return the XML without this last element? Thanks, Vince

This is an extension of my last post (problems with REXML) which has me looking to Nokogiri again. The reason I am not using Nokogiri is I can not seem to find a way to get CDATA out of a Nokogiri document. First, can you tell me if I am loading my document correctly, because when I call my_document.to_xml, I only get one line back: (rdb:1) test_file = Nokogiri::XML(mismo_xml_file)

Currently, it appears to_xml will automatically escape any entities into their corresponding &XXX representation. There''s a piece in the documentation that says "If $KCODE is set to u and encoding set to UTF8, then escaping will NOT be performed." Unfortunately, this doesn''t appear to be the case. Even after following the docs and ensuring that default_charset is

im my web server app , i have an action to be used as a REST web service # GET /user/membership.xml?email=emailaddress def membership @user = User.find_by_email(params[:email]) respond_to do |format| format.xml { render :xml => @user.to_xml( :only => [ :first_name, :last_name, :display_name, :membership_type, :membership_at], :skip_types => true)} end end my

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

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,

Hello... I''m trying to generate and XML file using .rxml and I''m having a problem with element names that contain a hyphen. Here is a chunk of the .rxml file: xml.instruct! :xml, :version=>"1.0" xml.properties do @properties.each do |p| xml.property do xml.location do xml.street-address(p.street_address) xml.city-name(p.city) .. end end end

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 all, I''ve created and submitted a patch to resolve an issue I had while attempting to meet the OpenSocial API specifications, which dictates that the xml output have tags formatted as lower camelcase (as opposed to upper camelcase, which is currently the only option). With this patch, simply passing :camelize => true still begets the current behavior, but you can now enable lower

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)

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

Hi, i m trying to do some kind of database dump using .to_xml and after i try to fill my database back (well an other) with the content of the xml. Right now i m doing that : @xml = Video.find(:all).to_xml(:include=>[:vlogiciels]) it does produce : <videos> <video> <mycolumns> ..... <vlogiciels> <logiciel>

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 tried to post this earlier, but it never came through. I''ve got something working in console, but not in controller. Any idea why? This is the plugin not the gem of acts_as_taggable *View* <code> <h1>Listing elements</h1> <% if @elements.blank? %> <p>There are currently no elements in the system tagged <%=

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

I have the following models class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :ingredient_recipes has_many :ingredients, :through => :ingredient_recipes end class IngredientRecipe < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :ingredient belongs_to :recipe end class Ingredient < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :ingredient_recipes has_many :recipes, :through => :ingredient_recipes

Hi! I''d like to know how to (most easily) ignore some elements from produced XML .. for example: @people.to_xml produces: <person> <id>2</id> <name>bob</name> <street>carson street</street> </person> ... How can I *not* produce the "ID" field for example? Thank you! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

20 / 20 hind sight, I would probably do things different today but I have most of my active record classes under different parent classes. For example: module Foo class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base ... end end The to_xml for this produces <foo/bar> .... </foo/bar> The / in a tag name is not allowed. Questions: 1) Is this a bug? 2) If so, suggestion of what to convert it to?
