similar to: creating a computed column with activerecord for to_xml

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

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

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\"

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

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

For example, let''s say I have a User model with 2 attributes: 1. pw_hash 2. pw_salt I don''t want these to show up in the to_xml method. How do I keep to_xml from using these attributes? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

I have a unit test that demonstrates some inconsistent behavior with a Hash being converted to XML with the :root option. Sometimes it works fine: Hash.new.to_xml(:root => ''test'') "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<test>\n</test>\n" But sometimes I get an argument error: Hash.new.to_xml(:root =>

How they differ? Does the to_xml method of the classes array/hash/object is based on ROXML lib? As I see in http://roxml.rubyforge.org/#quickstart, roxml needs we define the class (class Book in the guide) before to convert a object to xml. Moreover, the method to_xml (when not using "include ROXML") just accepts any existing object, what is much suitable. I need to compare and tranfer

Say I want to output XML like this: <myXML> <id>123</id> <fruit>apple</fruit> <fruit>banana</fruit> <fruit>pear</fruit> <fruit>lemon</fruit> </myXML> Is there a way of doing that with to_xml? It seems like there''s two problems: to_xml always creates a wrapping element <fruits> when it encounters an

hello, The "render :xml => myFriends.to_xml", return something like: <people> <person> <id type="integer">2</id> ... <person> But a Person has a "has_many" relationship and they are not in the xml, => so is it possible to change the depth of the marshall process ? if it not possible, what are the "rails

Hi, i m trying to do some kind of database dump using .to_xml and after i try to fill my database back (well an other) with the content of the xml. Right now i m doing that : @xml = Video.find(:all).to_xml(:include=>[:vlogiciels]) it does produce : <videos> <video> <mycolumns> ..... <vlogiciels> <logiciel>

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,

I recently submitted a patch to work around an issue I was having & added a new optional behaviour to the to_xml method but on further reflection I wonder if the default behaviour should be changed. The gory detail, documentation and test case is all here... http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7004 Here''s a brief example... class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many: children

Hi! I''d like to know how to (most easily) ignore some elements from produced XML .. for example: @people.to_xml produces: <person> <id>2</id> <name>bob</name> <street>carson street</street> </person> ... How can I *not* produce the "ID" field for example? Thank you! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a number of models that use an aggregation to combine First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name and they have been working fine. I am looking to clean this up, DRY it if possible. I have things like this in application.rb class Clwholename attr_reader :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name def initialize(first_name, middle_initial, last_name) @first_name = first_name

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

20 / 20 hind sight, I would probably do things different today but I have most of my active record classes under different parent classes. For example: module Foo class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base ... end end The to_xml for this produces <foo/bar> .... </foo/bar> The / in a tag name is not allowed. Questions: 1) Is this a bug? 2) If so, suggestion of what to convert it to?

Does anyone know a good way to hook into the AR to_xml() method to allow for adjusting datetimes to a user''s timezone? Basically I want a user to be able dump all their data before cancelling an account. I store all datetime info as UTC as per the recommendations of Jamis Buck and Scott Barron in the Rails Recipe article "Dealing with Timezones". Come to think of it I bet

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
