similar to: Render to file ?

I need to save the output of my rails app to a file. i.e. instead of rendering a page when using "render :action=>:any_action" i want the output to be saved to a file. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, my question is rails related though it is also somewhat specific to the prawnto plugin (installed latest version as of 2010-03-15). I would ask on a prawnto forum/list if I knew where one was. Anyhow, I''m using rails 2.3.5 (with ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 111) in an app that is successfully using the prawnto gem (with the prawn gem version 0.7.1). I''ve got a a

I need to be able to merge a lot of content for web pages, along with links to other pages taken from a list of categories. The text that goes with each category can be different depending on the context that it''s displayed in. I could do this by having a whole stack of *.html.erb files which hold the static content and access the Rails helpers to pull in stuff from the database and

Hello, I have a hash that contains categories, and each category ID is a hash of subcategories. What i want to do is dynamically load that hash, loop thru it, for each category , subcat run a query against the DB, and render a partial. The issue is i put the render:partial in a for loop but you can only render once per action. What is the best way to loop thru all my categories without a

Greetings, I''ve got a rails app which is basically an admin interface to a xml dataset. Currently I''ve got rails rigged to call a function to spit the entire dataset to file with every change. This would actually be ok, its fairly infrequently updated, but when the dataset grows large the user sits there waiting for it to dump with no feedback as to whats going on. Oh yes,

I need to invoke render() multiple times. This is not to render a response to the browser but to get the result of render() and put it in files. Is there another way to do it if it''s not possible to do it directly with render()? Btw, what''s the reasoning behind only allowing render() to be called once a request? /Marcus

Hi to everyone, In my Rails experimenting, I''ve come to a point where in the application happens what follows. 1. Upon selecting some stuff on a page, the user click on a button. 2. After clicking I need to: 2.1 Produce a PDF with some "Pretty Useful Information(TM)" 2.2 Bring the user to another page The PDF being produced with PDF::Writer requires a "render"

Yehuda has a nice article on implementing a custom renderer for PDF at http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2010/render-options-in-rails-3/ I''ve tried to follow the example and I''m not sure I see how to get it to work. If I understand things correctly, the format(s) usable in this render call respond_with(@resource) do |format| format.xyz { render :xyz => ... } end

I want to clean my code by moving the duplicated lines : partial = render_to_string( :partial => "#{file}", :formats => [:html] ) to the pagination_partials function. ================================================= WORKING CODE: ================================================= def render_format_search_partial(file, options={}) # TODO remove this line to use the one

What have I missed I have a .rhtml with the sandard form parameters <%= image_submit_tag("excel.gif", :alt => "Download List to Excel", :border => 0, :name => ''render_action'', :value => ''excel'' ) %> Which genenerates I believe a valid html fragment for a submit button. <input alt="Download List to Excel"

Hello, I''ve heard these words to describe a RoR application returning an empty page. This happen from time to time even here, in the forum. That is the cause of this misbehaviour ?

Hello, I have to code a small application for a car repair shop running under Windows (98 SE but may be my client could upgrade to 2000) and using RoR is my definite choise !

Hi. I am writing an application that has a lot of boolean conditional display logic, like this: <% if user.description then %> <p class="css_class"><%= user.description %></p> <% end %> Often the displayed content is more complex than the above, and to clean up my views I am trying to pull a lot of this sort of thing into partials.

I have a batch job that will call script/runner, I would like in this call to create html formated email and save it to the database. This is easy enough in a controller with yournewhost.email = render_to_string :action => "email_newhost_ready", :layout => false But render_to_string is only available in controller action pack, is there a easy way to render_to_string in a Model?

Hello! In my application I''m trying to render a view from a class in /lib folder. I have found that it''s very similar to render a view from console.
