similar to: reverse of simple_format?

Hi there, I need to: 1. STORE a text of the below format in a (MySQL) database (using a ''textarea''), and then 2. RETRIEVE & DISPLAY it in exactly the same format (meaning: keeping all paragraphs/line breaks). The intended text format looks like this: *** Blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah, blah blahblah. <- NEW

I have a controller that saves info to the DB. It''s based on the AJAX scaffolding code. All I want to do is add a simple_format() function to it before I save a user-edited text field to the DB. TO convert line returns to <br>s, etc. @project_note = ProjectNote.new(params[:project_note]) @project_note.body = simple_format(@project_note.body) Since this happens in a controller,

I''m using simple_format to format and display posted content from users. This content sometimes has urls in it. The problem I''m having is that if the urls are long enough to wrap, they do, but the url gets split with a <br> tag. Then, if the user clicks on the link, only the first, non-wrapped part of the link gets posted to the browser... and that''s an invalid

I''m writing a bloggish/CMSish thing. I had been using simple_format, but my users requested a rich editor, so I added TinyMCE. Anyway, I was trying to migrate the existing content (since TinyMCE assumes it''s reading HTML-formatted text), and realized that I couldn''t call simple_format (or other helper methods) from Migrations. Can someone enlighten me here?

I have a MySQL "text" element that I''m trying to display, but it''s not formatting (i.e. it''s all one big paragraph). In the AWD depot example it doesn''t look like they do anything special, but they get formatted text. I''ve tried it with both: <%= show.description %> - puts text, and formats according to any HTML tags I typed in.

Hello all, I''m using the sanitize() method from TextHelper in my application, which appears to use the VERBOTEN_TAGS constant to define which tags to escape out from the HTML. I''d like to modify VERBOTEN_TAGS to include some more tags, but I''m not sure where I would place the necessary code in my rails app. Any ideas? Thanks, Kamil -- Posted via

I''m having trouble succesfully getting access to the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper.strip_tags method from one of my controllers.

I am having trouble getting SMBTAR to do a complete backup on NT Workstation and NT Server. The backup starts off just fine. However, after a short time, errors begin showing up and files are not backed up. The files that are missed are not open files. I have set the -t option to disk and tape. I get pretty much the same result. Both NT machines have over 2 GB of data to backup up. I am

How to split HTML content? Well, the text like: <p>Ruby&nbsp;on&nbsp;Rails is a next-generation web-framework<br><b>YEAH!</b>And of course Java killer?! :) &copy;</p> You can split to a pages in a smart way.

I was previously doing an update via .rhtml templates creating an AJAX :evaluate_remote_response. I use UTF-8 in my pages, and my app requires that I be able to, say, put Japanese characters in. The problem is that when I switched this over to an RJS template it started eating the encoding. I now get garbage characters where before I got the correct ones. The code for the RHTML: <%=

I tried to use a before_save and use simple_format, it returns and undefined method error. Can I even use these methods within a model? I tried to use auto_link and it failed too. What am I doing wrong? Furthermore, would it be recommended I format text before saving it to the database? Advantages or disadvantages? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I have found that in smoothScatter it is not possible to reverse the axes plotted (R version 2.9.0) .   It appears that this arises from the hard coding of xlim and ylim in smoothscatter.R in the lines : x <- x[ xlim[1] <= x[,1] & x[,1] <=xlim[2], ]   (line  number 25) and x <- x[ ylim[1] <= x[,2] & x[,2] <= ylim[2], ]  (line number 31) This results in a x

Hello all! I have a conundrum that I''m _sure_ someone else has already thought of and solved. How does one best handle the scenario of association object changes and data integrity? For example, if I have a standard ecommerce site that sells Products and people can have Orders and an Order has_many Products... then, what happens if Product #3 is part of Order #2 but at some point, the
