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

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

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

In Chapter 5 of his book, Flexible Rails, Peter Armstrong''s leads his readers through an exercise to override the behavior of to_xml() in ActiveRecord objects so that :dasherize would be false by default. I found his solution inelegant. I came up with a more elegant one, and it seems to work. All I did was add the following to the very end of myapp/config/ environment.rb: class

Has anyone hacked Builder::XmlMarkup to dasherize underscore tags by default? I know I can use tag!, but I''d like to find a way for it to translate underscores to dashes automatically. In other words: xml.department_manager do "fred end #=> <department-manager>fred</department-manager> I tried hacking Builder::XmlBase.method_missing but got myself all twisted up!

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)

I''ve hit a problem which no one on the regular rails list seems to know about. I''ve studied the rails code but I can''t get to the bottom of it, so I thought I''d ask here. It''s about active_support/mini_xml: Seems to me that {}.to_xml is generating one level too many of xml structure, but I may be interpreting things incorrectly... I''ve reduced

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

Hello, I''m working on a Rails app which has a REST API. I manage two formats JSON and XML. Very often to simplify the use if the API, I''m making includes. But when you add params to to_json and to_xml like :only, :except, it''s not only applied on the root object but on all the objects included. Do you know libs or methods to answer to these different problems: * Tell

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?

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

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

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

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. 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

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

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 =>
