similar to: XML from Builder without the to_s element

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,

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

I am fairly new to Rails, and I am having difficulty in forgetting the old way of developing and using the Rails way. This is my question, using orders and line_items as an example. An order has_many line_items A line_item belongs to order In my OrdersController I have def summary @orders = Orders.find(:all) render :xml => @orders.to_xml() end What I want to achieve is to

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 am trying to read some information based on a user id, then search the database for the needed info and build an XML file. Everything seems to be working fine; I read the info, I create the xml and even spit "stuff" out to file. The issue is that the "stuff" I am writing to a file is a xml/html cross cluster #@%$ of stuff. Here is some code: if !params[:id].blank?

We''ve run into this before and, in this particular project, I''m positive we had a hack somewhere to get AR to work but it seems to have gone missing and I''m not finding any hints in git history or Google. Any call to an AR.create will trigger it. Seems like a strategically placed require or include did the trick but I''m probably misremembering. The offending

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\"

Greetings, I''m a newby to both "R"s in RoR. I would like to use Builder::XmlMarkup to generate my pages. If there is a working downloadable example somewhere, that would probably be enough. Otherwise, here''s what I want to do: With the following controller: class AccountsController < ApplicationController layout ''accounts'' model :account

Hi, I have built a simple Camping application which indexes an ODBC datasource using Ferret on startup, then accepts search strings and renders the resulting hit list in HTML, and it works quite nicely. The next step was to alternately render the list in XML for consumption by another application. In Rails, I would simply use Builder in the view to get the job done, and so I did the same in

Hello, I am new in this group. Please give me a short hint, in case this is the wrong place for my posting. I want to create an XML file and store it in "filetransfer".

Hey everyone, I''ve been refactoring Mechanize for an 0.7.0 release. Basically I''m trying to clean the code up and there are a few features that I think are unnecessary, but I would like to ask people first. 1) REXML as a parser. I want to remove support for REXML. I don''t use it. Hpricot seems to do everything I need. 2) 1.8.2 thru 1.8.4 support

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)
