Hi! Is there a (simple) way to use alternative field names in validation messages? For example, if I have a validator like this one: validates_presence_of :email how can I make it print a message like "E-Mail Address can''t be blank" instead of "Email can''t be blank"?

Hi, A little question. I''ve written a method that uses PDF::Writer to generate a PDF document with some images and text. This is the code on my controller: def pdf gen_pdf redirect_to("#{@request.relative_url_root}/pdf/cupones.pdf") end private def gen_pdf pdf = PDF::Writer.new(:paper => "A4") pdf.margins_cm(0) pdf.start_columns(2, 0) pdf.select_font

hi everyone, I hope someone can help me out with some active record basics? I''ve been banging my head for the past 4 hours and I can''t seem to get it to work.

Having read over the ruby pdf generation (simple reporting) options, I think Pdf::Writer will do just fine... ..if the following is possible On page 13 of (the really expansive) ::Writer manual, Replacement Tags are detailed. Before I jump into this tomorrow, I''m hoping for some triage sage advice. Finally, the question : "Would utilizing Replacement Tags be a suitable

Hi All, I generate a pdf report that contains a table. The report is 14 pages, and it takes 20s to be rendered. Most of these 20s are spend in the render_on method.

I''m trying to find a way to get from one rhtml page to another and taking a value along to use in the second page. Basically a user clicks on one of many download links and what should appear on the next page is all the available stuff related to that download, so I think if I take the id number of the first page then i can use if statements in the second page? Sorry if that sounds

In a new app we are developing, we need to be able to dynamically create a PDF and send it to the browser (inline with send_data). I have been tinkering with PDF::Writer and love the simplicity and native ruby-ness of it all. However, one of the main uses for this functionality is to output a PDF of addresses to be printed on Avery 5161 labels. LaTex seems to be suited well for this, but it

I have just migrated to use Rail 1.1 from 1.0. In the progress of fixing and cleaning up the unit tests. I found the following problem. I am not sure if this is a bug or it is my environment.

A friend and I are just in the process of trying to create PDFs on the fly. This isn''t in itself too hard, but we have some repeating images that are being put in over and over again. It''s increasing file size too much unfortunately. Does anyone know the best way to ensure file size is kept to a minimum for this scenario? We know about linking to a URI, but the problem with
