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

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

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

Hi I''d like to know how to have ActiveResource generate a URL for the /teams/1/edit type of resource. I''ve got custom_methods.rb and have used Team.find(1).get(:edit) This generates http://localhost:xxxx/teams/1/edit.xml But all I get returned is a hash of the attributes (in this case of team 1), rather than an object of team 1. In other words the

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/.

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

So, this is probably a usage error... but I hope somebody knows how to make this work. I''m trying to use a RESTful ActiveResource client and print the attribute validation errors for model attributes during an update operation. I''ve been following one of the threads, and am returning a response from the server as follows: format.xml { render :xml => m.to_xml, :status =>

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)

The way Rails handles root nodes in JSON and XML serialization is inconsistent. This has been discussed before: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2584-232-activeresource-json-doesnt-send-parameters-with-root-node This seems mostly taken care of with ActiveModel::Base.include_root_in_json, especially if/when it ends up in ActiveResource. However, there is also the issue of how

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

Hi, What''s the best way to add support for the activeresource find method in the controllers in my rails app? As I understand it when you invoke something like: Person.find(:all, :params => {:name = ''toby''}) this generates a request of: GET /people.xml?name=toby Does this mean that in my index method in PeopleController in my rails app I have params[name] set to

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

Hello all, The key issue is, if I uncomment the line: Myresource <<| |>> { ensure => present } I get the error: err: Could not find type Myresource on node hmaster I''m attempting to follow the instructions from the book Pro Puppet pgs. 143-145; however, it seems that there''s a parser issue or I''m very lost, as I am unable to export and collect my

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,

See the blog post at http://blog.lonestarsoftware.net/2007/03/09/active_resources-010-released/ Reading through the rails blogosphere last week, I read a post (which I can not find again) that suggested a completely different approach to AJAX use in rails apps. The idea was to create a Javascript proxy to the ActiveRecord models and allow AR operations to be called from the client. I see this

Hi, Attached are links to two patches I submitted via the RoR Trac system a week or so ago: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8305 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8308 I refrained from creating a new Trac ticket for ARes, which will be affected if both of these patches are accepted by Core. There are a couple of workarounds for this issue, but it would be nice for AR, AS and ARes to output

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!

Hello all, I have developed a RESTFul webservice in RoR. Here under is the controller --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- class PeopleController < ApplicationController def index list render :action => ''list'' end # GETs should be safe (see http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/whenToUseGet.html)

I issued the following curl command to post to the database using REST: curl -i -X POST -d "<heartrate><heartRate>102</ heartRate><sessionID>1002</sessionID><timeStamp>15068</timeStamp></ heartrate>" http://localhost:3000/heartrates I have tested the GET (with curl also) and it works fine! curl http://localhost:3000/heartrates/45
