I''m trying to upload a text file from a form and read the file into a string in my rails app. I''ve tried using @import_file = File.read(params[:import_file]) as well as File.open, but I need getting "cannot convert StringIO into String" errors. Anyone have any ideas? - Kyle -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, Is there a way in vpim to edit an individual field in a vcard. I have a set of vcards stored in a db and would like to be able to edit individual fields in the vcard and then save the vcard back to the db. I didn''t see any methods for editing a vcard in the api. Do I need to create a new vcard and repopulate it with all the fields except the one that I''m changing and

Does anyone know of a plugin or extension that makes it easy to import and export with VCards for a contact database? Thanks, Kyle

i''m doing a site for someone that has a form set up to collect contact information from the user. i installed the vpim gem and was hoping to give my client a way to download all of the contact''s information as a vcard. using the examples, i was able to get it working in ruby, but i''m not quite sure how to generate and download a vcard on the fly. has anyone done

I''m currently looking to build a contact manager with Rails. I need to offer Vcard import / export capabilities. I have VPIM setup in my Rails app, but I''m a little stuck on how to pull the correct data from the vcards. I''ve looked at the docs for VPIM and those have helped get me started, but I still can''t figure out how to pull specific data. As an

I am trying to explore the vpim gem.. Using that i am trying to generate Vcard..Now I am able to generate vcard also i am able to send that vcard through mail. If i try to open that vcard through thunderbird, all the fields getting stored in address book except mobile number, Here ia m send the code for adding mobile number into vcard.. if @bizcard_label.mobile_number!=""

I''ve got two issues: First, it seems that every time there''s a comma in a street field, it gets preceded by a ''\''. I can''t seem to get rid of it, or even find where it''s being generated. (ex: 71229 30nd Ave NW\, Apt 50) Second, every now and then my country ''United States'' gets cut off, as if it''s reached a character

Hi, While this question does not directly concern Asterisk, it certainly relates to CTI applications. When building CTI application, you can meet 3 data types : - LDAP data, for employee data, - SQL data, for customer or structured data, - vCards-like, for various contacts mostly stored in Email's address books. It is very common to deal with LDAP or SQL databases, from a program. I would

Railoholic-Anonymous Members: I am tooling around with the idea of forming a project which would create a calendar plugin/engine with the following features: 1. DB schema mapping all necessary iCal (RFC-2445) fields. 2. Probably utilizing either vpim (vpim.rubyforge.net), or iCalendar (icalendar.rubyforge.net). (First choice would be vpim since some attendee functionality requires vcard

Has anyone successfully used vPim with Rails? Please let me know of your experiences OR where I can find documentation to do so.

We''re using Vpim to parse iCal and vCard files, and so far it''s been great. However, when we were parsing some iCal files we noticed that all the endlines in the description section were disappearing. I start peering through the source code and find (in the Field#to_text method that is being called): # The value as text. Text can have escaped newlines, commas, and escape #

Thanks for the bug report! I''ll get a new release out next week, I''ve been on vacation for a few weeks and I''m just getting up to speed with being back in a city. In the meantime, the fix is to apply the following patch (in Icalendar.decode_duration). I''ve also integrated your tests, thanks. Cheers, Sam diff -u -r1.22 icalendar.rb --- vpim/icalendar.rb 17

This is a follow-up to the thread ending with: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/vpim-talk/2008/000120.html I too am in search of some ruby parser for icalendar which properly handles timezones on the datetimes in the icalendar RFC. As I understand it there are actually three types of times. 1) UTC times with a string form of yyyymmddThhmmssZ note the trailing Z indicates zulu time aka utc. 2)

I saw a couple of references in the VPIM-talk archives about OS X Address book throwing a message of "no importable cards were found". I ran into this address when I threw some code into the my rails application. I used the .vcard extension for my vcard and saw this message for OS X address book. Once I changed the extension to .vcf, it recognized it right away as a valid vcard file.

Anybody any experience with vcard import, what are options? i just found vpim, but want to know about alternatives before i start working with it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hello all, I am currently evaluating the vpim libraries and like them very much. However there''s one thing I can''t get done: How can I set the TZID parameter for DTSTART/END dates so my encoded ICS file looks something like this: BEGIN:VEVENT ... DTSTART;TZID=Eastern Time:20071201T080000 DTEND;TZID=Eastern Time:20071207T110000 ... END:VEVENT I managed

I think I am doing something simply boneheaded but I don''t see it. I hope you are willing to take a look: I am simply wanting to upload a file and hand the file in my controller to some code that will process it. It is not getting stored. The UI is a "maintain" page with a file entry field in a form, and a button to import the file and some other maintenance tasks which are
