Re: Sexy Forms in Rails

byronb — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:12:21 -0000

Hi - great stuff. However, you mentioned:

"I've moved it out into a helper, as I wanted to use this functionality in regular form_tag calls as well as form_for"

Is there any way to get the form_tag to use a custom builder? All the help out there I found basically said to create a model and use form_for if you want to use a customer builder. Any ideas?

UPDATE:
Added "include SemanticFormHelper" to ApplicationHelper and use the wrapping method directly in views like this:
wrapping("text", :email, "Email address",text_field_tag (:email, params[:email]) )

is there a better way?

Also, to get the human_attribute_name for labels I edited the lines in semantic_form_builder.rb:
#default_label = tag_value.nil? ? "#{method.to_s.gsub(/\_/, " ")}" : "#{tag_value.to_s.gsub(/\_/, " ")}"
default_label = Object.const_get(@object_name.capitalize).human_attribute_name( method.to_s)

am I missing a better way for that as well?

Hope this helps someone else too.

Re: Using rspec have_tag

Seems fine now, there's an ongoing problem with the code formatting lib I'm using in Radiant, I'm in the process of porting over to something else.

I love the idea of forcing a login to see the code though ;)

I don't mind encouragement to log in/establish an account (say, before I can post/publish a comment), but before I created an account and logged in, the code in this article was completely removed (from both the visible page and the page's source)! Hopefully, that's a mistake and not an intentional device to require logged-in users.

Just found this article, looks great. Except on Mac Safari and Firefox (latest of both), the code blocks just look like a black band across the page, about 10 pixels high. No code visible. :-( Even the page source doesn't help--there are a bunch of

tags, with *no* content!

Tim from tekSymmetry here. They are cheap and sometimes decent and sometimes downright horrible. I don't know if that's Glenn from rimuhosting that made the comment below, but the rimuhosting guys are however awesome. I have been really pleased with their offering. However, we may outgrow them fairly quickly and need to go with something with a bit more firepower.

Are you then about to fix the bugs in scrubyt?
Or are you solely working on Skimr now?

thanks

Rup,

We've not made an official switch to skimr becoming the main and
stable branch purely because we don't have a viable replacement for
scraping sites with AJAX (the current Firewatir integration is a bit
gnarly and not as reliable as we'd like).

I'll be looking to integrate with celerity to allow us to to headless
javascript scraping, once that's done skimr will finally become the
production release and available as a gem. Until then you need to
clone the git repo, switch to the skimr branch, and then include the
checkout in your file:

git clone git://github.com/scrubber/s...
cd scrubyt
git fetch
git checkout -b skimr origin/skimr

Then in your project:

base_path = "/path/to/checkout"
require "#{base_path}/lib/scrubyt"

Hope that helps. If not let me know,

Glenn

Skimr has different dependencies than the current stable release of
scrubyt. It actually requires far fewer external libs and just one
different one, Nokogiri instead of Hpricot.

I've a shiny new MBP arriving this week and I'm going to try get away
with ONLY running ruby 1.9 on it, so any bug will hopefully be solved
shortly. I'll also be tackling full jruby support if we can.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the great tutorial !
However, 9 months later and after several version upgrades later of this or that, it would be nice if you could remind us *how* to set up scRUBYt in a working environment and configuration to produce the results exposed in your articles; I have just spent most of my afternoon figuring out the install, unsuccessfully, and am close to giving up and switching to Scrapes.rb - nothing like scrubyt, though !

*Please* could you help : that would be great !

kaiiserni — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:47:21 -0000

this is really cool!, works better for me on ruby1.9 then scrubyt itself.
Is it possible that scrubyt with normal mechanize has a lot of known issues on ruby1.9?

does Skimr depend on the same gems as Scrubyt?

Is Skimr safe for production use already these days?

keep up the good work!
thanks

Learning Java (to write a Lucene wraper in JRuby), has made me a better Ruby programmer. Learning C (to write FFI extensions) has similarly made me a better Ruby programmer. This is not a zero-sum game, though there seem to be a horde of people with hammers glued to their hands who think it is.
