[Rails] List all field names on a PDF using iText from Rails
Hello everyone,
Has anyone used iText to list all fields on a PDF AcroForm?
There are plenty of java examples to do it, but I do not know how to
translate that into ruby. I'm using Rjb.
The Java example I've found is:
AcroFields form = reader.getAcroFields();
HashMap fields = form.getFields();
String key;
for (Iterator i = fields.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
key = (String) i.next();
System.out.print(key + ": ");
switch(form.getFieldType(key)) {
case AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_CHECKBOX:
System.out.println("Checkbox");
break;
case... (other types)
}
}
TIA,
Dan

For a start, you have :with as part of the :url hash... it should be
on the same level as :update.

[Rails] Re: onChange => remote_function - Not able to get current id
Maybe "with" section should look like with => 'id='+value? I think in
your variant you assign to id a string value 'value'.

[Rails] after_create and has_one association bug?
Hello, I've come across an issue that I'm sure is a bug when using after_create with a has_one association, but I'm not 100% certain if I'm missing something. This is pretty much exactly the code I'm using. Two simple classes (Account and Contact) and I create the contact after I create an account (via after_create). I'm not passing in a "name" field which the contact requires via validates_presence_of, so the contact should not get saved, but it in fact does. class Account < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :contact def after_create create_contact end end class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :account validates_presence_of :name end The test... class AccountTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase test "this ain't right" do a = Account.create p a.contact p a.new_record? end end produces... # false Is this expected behaviour?

[Rails] Re: Error running migration
This says it all: Unknown database '[my_database_name]_development'
Before you can migrate your new table you need to create the
database. Evidently you are set up to use mysql. If you check the
file config/database.yml you will see something like:
development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: testmysql_development
pool: 5
username: root
password:
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
where "testmysql" will be the name of your project
("my_database_name"?). You will need to create a database with
"YOUR_PROJECT_NAME_development" that can be accessed by the user
identified by "username:" and "password:". Then you can run rake
db:migrate.

[Rails] onChange => remote_function - Not able to get current id
Hi,
Below is the code I am using to display drop down. This drop down is for
displaying categories.
<% form_for :category do |form| %>
<%= form.collection_select(:id,@categories, :id,
:category_name, {},
{:onChange => remote_function(:url=>{:action=>'say_hello',
:with => "'id='+value"},
:update=>'mydiv')}
) %>
<% end %>
I want to get the 'current category id' during onchange. Using :with =>
"'id='+value" I am not able to get it.
Plaese anyone suggest

[Rails] Re: Passing a JavaScript variable through a Rails params hash
Hi
You need to change the target attrubute of the form tag. Give it an id
if it doesn't have one:
form_tag({:action =>"update"}, {:id => "the_form"}) do
...
Then if using prototype, $('the_form').target += '&varname='+var;
Mind you URL encode the params value. You can use the escapeHTML
string class to encode it properly if using prototype. I think there
is also an escape function ;)

[Rails] Rails page caching with separately cached global elements.
I'm trying to build an optimized caching setup for my app. Large parts of the app will use full page caching (using something like Ben Scofield's Progressive Enhancement approach http://www.slideshare.net/bscofield/page-caching-resurrected.) The issue is: I'd like to include some global elements on all pages, where the global element changes much more rapidly that most other pages on the site, and I don't want to expire nearly all the pages on the site because a minor global element needs to be updated. An example of this is "10 most recent blog posts." shown on every page. The RailsEnvy tutorial on caching (http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/28/rails-caching-tutorial ) uses this example as a case where you _would_ need to clear the whole cache, so maybe I'm being a little too creative here. I was hoping to do this with SSI as apache serves the cached pages, as in: This doesn't work because: 1: On the rails side, if page caching is turned off, the include is ignored and the element is empty when the page is rendered dynamically. 2: If the page is cached, but the element included via ssi doesn't exist on the file system, it results in a routing error. Google says some people have tried this, but I haven't seen a howto or successful report of this approach. After fumbling around and searching for a couple hours, I get the sense that this is trickier than it sounds: * Knowing when the SSI include statement should be processed by rails or by apache2 * Getting apache to ssi include a file that doesn't exist and needs to be generated on the fly * Getting rails to include the ssi content served to the client, by not including the ssi for the content cached to the file system So, I'm looking for alternative approaches or more input on this approach. Is something like this even possible now? One thing that may make this work is if I can get the ssi to only conditionally include the file if the file exists. Something like this: Non-dynamic text to go here. But SSI doesn't seem to support file tests or some similar workaround that I've found I *could* (and may) use a javascript layering approach on the client side, but then the content in the global elements would not be visible to spiders used to build search indexes, which is not really desirable.

[Rails] Passing a JavaScript variable through a Rails params hash
Hi guys, hoping someone can give me a pointer with this? I have a Javascript variable that I'm updating dynamically as a user interacts with the page. I want the user to be able to save it's value at any time along with some text data in a pop-up form, so the best way I can think of is to pass it through the params hash without writing it into the form. I'm not totally sure how to do this though?

[Rails] Re: is f.submit in a form_for newer than submit_tag?
All the method in the form helper have his "object implicit"
counterpart, for example you can call text_field(object_name, method,
options = {}) or f.text_field(method, options = {}) and the object
used is f.object (the parameter of form_for @something), they produce
exactly the same output.

[Rails] Re: what is kENSURE and kEND in error message?
I think the problem is that seen with most languages, when you have a syntax error the message may appear to have little to do with the actual error as the parser has gone off down the wrong track but does not realise this until it is too late.

[Rails] do you think we should make <%= # comment %> not cause error
the code <% # some code %> will not cause any error, but the code <%= # some code %> will cause an error. the argument is that the second statement is like output << and so it is an error. But I think since puts "hello" and puts both can run and cause no error, why not make <%= # some code %> not cause any error too? If we have a language / platform that will cause an error when we just comment out code, it is a big issue in the long term, since usually when we comment out something, we won't easily cause a problem and may have a hard time finding what the cause is. for sure, we can change it to <% # some code %> but we lose the note there that we were going to output the content. When we uncomment the code, we don't know for sure whether it should be <% %> or <%= %> and is prone to mistake again. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] Re: how to edit a pluggin? (acts_as_taggable_on)
Try using the IN sql operator.
Unless you are using wildcards i think in should work.
ie name IN ('fish','frog')
You will need to change your code.

If you are using check_box_tag or crafting the html by hand then it is slightly more troublesome as if the check box is not ticked there will be no value in the params hash. If you are using the check_box helper it might be appropriate to just pass the appropriate part of the params hash to update_attributes. Fred or not, but how > did you do you checkbox code?

[Rails] Re: How to pass arguments to functions in callbacks in model ?
What about ...

update_something(true)

Or use instance variable as conditional state instead of passing
variable to a function called from macro (i.e after_save)

[Rails] index.erb vs rhtml
I am a total Ruby/RoR n00b having just started reading the 'Ruby on Rails Bible' book two days ago. I've been trying to work out through the introductory 'Your first ruby on rails application' section, but I've run into problems already! The book goes on about creating the view templates and naming them with the *.html.erb extension, but I get run-time errors when I use that extension. I have seen some other RoR sites that use the *.rhtml extension so I tried that instead and that seemed to fix my problem. But isn't that the old rails file naming convention? I want to use the proper/new convention but I'm not sure what I need to do .. perhaps update Ruby or Rails or ??? on my computer? Or is it something I have misconfigured? I'm developing on a Mac and these are the versions of Ruby and RoR I currently have installed: ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [universal-darwin9.0] Rails 2.3.2 If this helps, when I run "gem list" I get this output: *** LOCAL GEMS *** actionmailer (2.3.2, 1.3.6) actionpack (2.3.2, 1.13.6) actionwebservice (1.2.6) activerecord (2.3.2, 1.15.6) activeresource (2.3.2) activesupport (2.3.2, 1.4.4) acts_as_ferret (0.4.1) capistrano (2.0.0) cgi_multipart_eof_fix (2.5.0, 2.2) daemons (1.0.9, 1.0.7) dnssd (0.6.0) fastthread (1.0.1, 1.0) fcgi (0.8.7) ferret (0.11.4) gem_plugin (0.2.3, 0.2.2) highline (1.2.9) hpricot (0.6) libxml-ruby (0.9.5, 0.3.8.4) mongrel (1.1.4, 1.0.1) needle (1.3.0) net-sftp (1.1.0) net-ssh (1.1.2) rails (2.3.2, 1.2.6) rake (0.8.7, 0.7.3) RedCloth (3.0.4) ruby-openid (1.1.4) ruby-yadis (0.3.4) rubynode (0.1.3) sqlite3-ruby (1.2.1) termios (0.9.4) Any help would be greatly appreciated! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] Re: sql Rand() returns same result
You may be getting stuck in the query cache. Try this:
Model.uncached { Model.find(:first, :order => "RAND()") }
Which will shut off query caching for that call.

[Rails] Expired items
Hi guys, I have a model Post which has a expiry_date. I want to know what is the best way to manage scalability in this case. 2 options: 1. Whenever I want to SELECT from the table, I need to include where expiry_date > NOW. If the table Post grows like a monster, I will be in trouble. Imagine after 3 years or more. Indexes will be huge too. 2. Have a trigger, cron job, or a plugin (if it exists) that would go around the table and move expired items to a new table Post_Archive. That way, I maintain only current Posts in my main table, which implies that over 3 years I won't be as bad as option 1. Any help? comments from your experience?

[Rails] Re: belongs_to not saving foreign key
You are correct, Jeff, setting the author using the create method on a has_many works: test "something" do a1 = Author.create! :name => 'author 1' b = a1.books.create! :title => 'rails' a2 = Author.create! :name => 'author 2' b.update_attributes! :author_id => a2.id assert_equal a2.id, b.author_id end And so does setting the author via the foreign key: test "something" do a1 = Author.create! :name => 'author 1' b = Book.create! :title => 'rails', :author_id => a1 a2 = Author.create! :name => 'author 2' b.update_attributes! :author_id => a2.id assert_equal a2.id, b.author_id end So why doesn't it like it when the belongs_to is used?

[Rails] Re: belongs_to not saving foreign key
Thanks for the replies. However, changing the Author to: class Author < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :books end doesn't change the outcome of the test. The problem that i'm having seems to be that the foreign key (Book.author_id) is not being updated by update_attributes. This smells like a bug to me.

[Rails] Re: why does form_for @story has to have Story as RESTful
"can Story be not RESTful? Can it be a form for non-RESTful data?" Sure. Keep in mind one of the Rails tenets: "convention over configuration". Take a look at the HTML generated by form_for in the various REST contexts (e.g. new, edit). *By default* it Does The Right Thing if you're using RESTful resources. But there's nothing to stop you from overriding the configuration, e.g.: form_for @order, :url => checkout_details_path, :method => :put do |f| and having a route to support it. dwh SpringFlowers AutumnMoon wrote: > it seems that when we use > > form_for @story do |f| > > then Story has to be a RESTful resource and it has to be > > map.resources :stories > > in the routes.rb? > > can Story be not RESTful?

You can even do that while the server is running. Also, every table must have a column "id" which is the INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, and this should be a unique number for each row. Table names should correspond to controller class names. They should be plural and capitalized*, eg, if you have an app/views/document (and an app/controllers/document_controller.rb), you will need a table in your database called Documents which corresponds to the entry in db/schema.rb. Is that what you mean? *they may not have to be since they are not in the schema -- anyway, when I've done this they were capitalized and it works fine. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Both these examples of code use blocks, the first just happens to be a loop, the second only looks like a loop if your first experience of blocks is in loops. I think it's important that you forget about the loop and focus on blocks, once you've understood blocks, it will no longer look like a loop and you'll understand that you really don't want to write it a different way (even though it's possible) Yes, you can use @story or :story and form_for will figure it out for you.

Under Rails 2.3.2 using a completely brand new project, I have 2 models: class Author < ActiveRecord::Base # name:string end class Book < ActiveRecord::Base # title:string belongs_to :author # author_id end And a simple test where i create a Book with an Author using the belongs_to and then update the foreign key directly: require 'test_helper' class BookTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase test "foreign key updating" do a1 = Author.create! :name => 'author 1' b = Book.create! :title => 'rails', :author => a1 a2 = Author.create! :name => 'author 2' b.update_attributes! :author_id => a2.id assert_equal a2.id, b.author_id # author_id is still a1.id! end end The test fails on the last line. Am i doing something wrong or is this expected behaviour? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] Re: Searching/Sorting an Array of Hashes
Your question needs a bit of clarification--please use a examples of
the query, the data set format to be searched, and the expected
result. And then repeat for the case that you are having trouble
with.
But I'll throw out some thoughts even though I am confused about what
you are trying to do...
Here is an example of how to sort_by last_name on an array of hashes
with first_name and last_name keys .
array.sort_by{|hash| hash[:last_name]}
> irb
>> test = [{:first_name=>'tim', :last_name=>'rand'},{:first_name=>'jim',
>> :last_name=>'band'},{:first_name=>'him', :last_name=>'crand'}]
=> [{:first_name=>"tim", :last_name=>"rand"},
{:first_name=>"jim", :last_name=>"band"},
{:first_name=>"him", :last_name=>"crand"}]
>> test
=> [{:first_name=>"tim", :last_name=>"rand"},
{:first_name=>"jim", :last_name=>"band"},
{:first_name=>"him", :last_name=>"crand"}]
>> test.sort_by{|hash| hash[:first_name]}
=> [{:first_name=>"him", :last_name=>"crand"},
{:first_name=>"jim", :last_name=>"band"},
{:first_name=>"tim", :last_name=>"rand"}]
>> test.sort_by{|hash| hash[:last_name]}
=> [{:first_name=>"jim", :last_name=>"band"},
{:first_name=>"him", :last_name=>"crand"},
{:first_name=>"tim", :last_name=>"rand"}]
To find misspelled names is a bit trickier--I would probably use the
text rubygem as it has the ability to calculate the Levenshtein
distance (basically number of substitutions, deletions and insertions)
required to spell the target using a query. You would have to compare
the query to all names and sort based on the levenshtein distance and
then pull the closest match.I have used that strategy in the past and
it works. Here is a quick demo of the syntax for the levenshtein
distance:
>irb
>> require 'text'
=> true
>> Text::Levenshtein.distance('this', 'that')
=> 2
>> Text::Levenshtein.distance('query', 'queen')
=> 2
To the extent that I think I understand your question, I bet having
some verification is going to be unavoidable. Something like the
following to catch cases when people type in a space separated first
and last name.
>> if query.match(" ") #query is something like "first last"
>> query_first, query_last = "first last".split(/ /)[0], "first last".split(/
>> /)[1]
>> else
>> query_first = query_last = query
>> end
Hope that helps,
Tim

[Rails] How to integrate Google adsense?
I was surprised to see not much on the web about integrating Google AdSense into Rails apps. I found this post: http://atservice.blogspot.com/2008/07/google-ad-sense-code-implementation.html but the meat of that post is a link to a file that doesn't exist any more. Can anyone direct me to something useful that's already published? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] How to pass arguments to functions in callbacks in model ?
I need to pass attributes to the function called in callback in rails
model. For example,
after_save :update_something
after_destroy :update_something, true #true is the argument that I need to
pass
private
def update_something(value = false)
#...
end
I found a way to do it like this
after_save :update_something
after_destroy {|record| record.update_something(true)}
But in this case, I need to make the function update_something public, which
I don't want to do.
Any help ?

[Rails] protect_from_forgery issue
Hi, I just redeployed my app for a very minor source code change and now I am getting these errors: No :secret given to the #protect_from_forgery call for a page that has a remote_form_for on it. 1) Why would this change? The offender seems to usually be Googlebot, but not always. I've been always getting lots of google bot hits, so what has changed now. 2) Why only on this one page? I actually include the partial that contains the code it is complaining about on almost every page 3) What can I do to fix it? For me the weird thing is that it is not giving me the error when googlebot tries to call the remote form, but actually it seems to be happening when it is trying to render it! Should I be using a secret I am running rails 2.1.2 (via ec2onrails). Help! Our hoptoad is reporting 150 of these since yesterday! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
