similar to: TextHelpers in Controller?

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). The intended text format looks like this: *** Blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah blah, blah blahblah. <- NEW

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? (smarter than just a regexp that is).

I''m having trouble succesfully getting access to the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper.strip_tags method from one of my controllers. If I try to call it directly using ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper.strip_tags I get undefined method `strip_tags'' for ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper:Module What is the preferred way to make ActionView helpers available to a descendant of

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?

Rails noobie here. I''ve gem''ed Richard White''s AJAX scaffold generator, and hooked it up to one of my tables, did some tweaking, and am very pleased with the ease of this first test. But my question is how I should incorporate this into my actual app. In my app, the table I want to use this AJAX on belongs_to another table. I have one main controller in the app,

Hello all, I''m using the sanitize() method from TextHelper in my application, which appears to use the VERBOTEN_TAGS constant to define which tags to escape out from the HTML. I''d like to modify VERBOTEN_TAGS to include some more tags, but I''m not sure where I would place the necessary code in my rails app. Any ideas? Thanks, Kamil -- Posted via

Hey All, I''m attempting to upgrade my app from rails 2.0.2 to 2.3.3. One bit that''s failing is this call here (in /views/projects/show.html.erb) <%= markdown(@project.description) %> That earns me a: uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper::Markdown On that line. I''m on a rebuilt machine (windows xp, ruby 1.8.6) so I thought it was a

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

I''m a newbie to rails, and really to the whole DRY and MVC thing as well, except where I accidentally fell into things doing it my own way in the past. I''ve got a fairly complex DB structure I want to create an interface for using Rails. Getting simple tables to display, edit, save, not too much problem there. But where I''m having trouble is figuring out where to

I have a model that deals with HTML and I want to use the text_helper.sanitize method to strip the HTML of Javascript. However, it doesn''t appear that I can get easy access to the text_helper methods from within a model. Anyone have any suggestions for how to do this? In general, I think that there are some ActionView helpers which are generic enough to want to use in a model class.

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

I am very, very new to rails (and ruby) and am working on a view extension helper method. In a template I have <%= my_helper params %> my_helper does some system calls and ends up placing an image file in the public images folder (which I referenced within the plugin using RAILS_ROOT). I want the helper to then return an appropriate image link to the template. I want to use the

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: <%=

Hi all. I''m a new convert (or at least I want to be a convert) to Rails. I''ve got the book, have read it, done bits and pieces of the demo, and tried to apply it to a rather complicated DB I''ve got here. I''ve got a ton of questions, and before I bore everyone here, is there a dedicated forum for Rails newbies to get help? Yak -- Posted via

Hi, Is it possible to stub out a helper for development? I''ve got a (view) helper that renders a partial and runs all kind of javascript. But for dev purposes I''d like it to return some hardcoded html. I''m not having any success stubbing the helper out. Something like... test/mocks/development/helper_stub.rb require ''application_helper'' class

Any ideas why I would get an error in a RJS helper on view helpers such as number_to_currency. Example: # my_template.rjs page.help_me # my_helper for my_controller def help_me number_to_currency(10) end I have also tired page.number_to_currency but that doesn''t work either. Cheers, Nicholas

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. So basically it is the h() helper but keeps the line breaks. Any suggestions?

All, I have a little namespace collision here. I am trying to use both RubyfulSoup (an HTML parser - which I highly recommend by the way) and the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper class. Within the TextHelper class, there''s an attempt to create a new "Tag" object. However, Tag is also defined in the RubyfulSoup gem and it is _this_ Tag class whose initialize method is
