Rails plugin updates on the way: label and export plugins

Posted by Eric Stewart Wed, 22 Feb 2006 20:49:00 GMT

Lately I’ve been trying to make time to finish some plugin updates and get a new one out the door.

Label Helpers

A few responses have come in on the label_helpers plugin, including a contributed patch. I need to track down one report of problems with the error inclusion that I received without many details. If you have encountered this issue please send me more information and include your version of Rails.

Acts As Exportable

I have done some work on making ActiveRecord objects easier to use in exporting data, such as producing csv export files. At this point the code works well for my needs but will need a bit of work to be more generally applicable. I hope to have something out very soon.

Plugin Usage

Not surprisingly, the label_helpers plugin has been getting much more attention than assert_accessible. Web accessibility is unfortunately still not a priority to most web developers. At this point the numbers are:

  • assert_accessible – 12 downloads
  • label_helpers – 70+ downloads

See my projects page for more details.

    This label plugin is handy. I noticed that it generates an empty if there’s no error message; the simple fix for that is 52: errorstring = errormessage.nil?? ” : ” #{error_message}”

    …and that’s why we have the preview button.

    This label plugin is handy. I noticed that it generates an empty <em> tag if there’s no error message; the simple fix for that is

    52: error_string = error_message.nil?? ” : ” <em>#{error_message}</em>”
