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).

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 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 working on a page combining Ajax.InPlaceEditor and the simple_format helper. The page is demonstrating some very strage behavior. First, here is the code: <p>Bio: </p> <div id="bio"> <% if @user.bio %> <%= simple_format( @user.bio ) %>\ <% else %> No Bio Yet <% end %> </div><em>(click on your to bio edit

Hi, is there a not as simple simple_format helper in rails? :) I would like to keep the line breaks from the input, however, I would like to escape all other HTML elements.

[I''m reposting this. The subject wasnt complete and misleading in my initial post (''testing'')] I''m looking for a good way to make all of Rails'' inbuilt helpers available to my custom Helper while I''m testing it. The Helper I''m testing is EditorHelper. EditorHelper itself relies on some of Rails'' inbuilt Helpers, such as

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: <%=

Hello! Is there a way to reverse the TextHelper simple_format? I.e. to take some text with <p> tags and <br> tags and convert them into line breaks in a smart way?

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/.

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

Hi Im using the newest GetText gem, and Im having problems with classes outside rails, they don''t get translated. For example: I have a class representing access in my app, and it is not a ActiveRecord, just a normal class. When require ''gettext'' and include it in the class, I can use the _('''') methods fine. They get picked upp by rake updatepo.

Is there an easy way to spec that a controller should include helpers other than its own? I was thinking I could just spec responds_to for methods I''m interested in in the view, but that seems like crossing a separation boundary, that the controller maybe doesn''t need to know about? Thanks, Steve

I asked this questions on some other places before, but have found no solution yet. I''d like to include the request helper (from ActionDispatch::Integration::RequestHelpers, like post and xhr methods) also in some specs outside of my controller specs. The problem is that these request helpers are only included in spec/ controller and when a controller is described. What do I have to

Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers. One of the helpers in app/helpers/application_helper.rb looks like this: def page_name @page_name || "Define @page_name in #{controller.controller_name}::#{controller.action_name}" end The rspec is simply: it "should something" do page_name end
