To implement Gravatar in my Rails3 application, I'm using the gravatar_image_tag gem in a helper, but I'm having issues when mixing 2 config options:
If the user doesn't have a gravatar attached to his email a default image is rendered; but I want it to reference an external file (e.g., http://www.iconfinder.com/ajax/download/png/?id=43350&s=128 instead of :identicon or others)
I also want the image to be resized on the fly to, let's say 50px.
Independently, both options work as expected, but when I put them together:
def gravatar_for(user, options = { :default => 'http://www.iconfinder.com/ajax/download/png/?id=43350&s=128', :size => 50 })
gravatar_image_tag(user.email.downcase, :alt => user.full_name,
:class => 'gravatar',
:gravatar => options)
end
the size option is not applied, and the gravatar gets rendered in it's full size (128px in this case).
What am I doing wrong, or how can I achieve this combination?
Gravatar will not resize your default image for you. I assume that it just 302s to the ulr gave as a default if it does not find an gravatar for the email you gave it. It looks like the 's' parameter in the iconfinder url is for the size you are trying to grab but that icon does not have a size of 50px available only 128, 256, and 512
Example:
http://www.iconfinder.com/ajax/download/png/?id=43350&s=256
If you wanted a 50px and 80px versions of the icon I would save it to your applications public/image directory as default_gravatar_50.png and default_gravatar_80.png respectively and change your method like so.
end
def gravatar_for(user, options = {})
options = { :size => 50 }.merge(options)
options[:default] = image_tag("default_gravatar_#{options[:size]}.png
gravatar_image_tag(user.email.downcase,
:alt => user.full_name,
:class => 'gravatar',
:gravatar => options)
end
Or if you find an icon on icon finder that is the size(s) you like change the setting of the default option like so.
options[:default] = "http://www.iconfinder.com/ajax/download/png/?id=43350&s=#{options[:size]}"
Iconfinder here. You don't want to link to the download script. Instead just grab the URL to the image it self so you wan't get a lot of header information.

For the site I'm building with Middleman, I am localizing entire templates as described in the docs on the bottom of the "Localization" section. So the relevant part of the file tree looks like this:
/localizable
|
|- index.en.html.haml
|- index.ru.html.haml
|- about.en.html.haml
|- about.ru.html.haml
I can link from the index.en page to the about.en page using the path helper like so:
= link_to 'about me', '/about.html'
But when I try to do a similar trick to create a link from the index.ru page to the about.ru page:
= link_to 'some russian text', '/russian/about.html'
the helper doesn't work. It ignores the /russian folder and creates a link to /about.html in root.
Am I missing something or is the path helper unusable for localized templates? Is the only option to use the <a> tag directly?
============
Update1: relevant parts of my config.ru file:
set :css_dir, 'stylesheets'
set :js_dir, 'javascripts'
set :images_dir, 'images'
activate :relative_assets
set :relative_links, true
activate :i18n, :langs => [:en, :ru], :lang_map => { :en => :english, :ru => :russian }
activate :blog do |blog|
blog.prefix = "blog"
blog.paginate = true
end
# Build-specific configuration
configure :build do
# For example, change the Compass output style for deployment
# activate :minify_css
# Minify Javascript on build
# activate :minify_javascript
# Enable cache buster
# activate :asset_hash
# Use relative URLs
# activate :relative_assets
# Or use a different image path
# set :http_prefix, "/Content/images/"
end
Cant really say what is the problem without seeing your config.rb file and the structure of your file system.
My guess on your problem would be like this here
or it could be real simple that you have to change 'russian' to 'ru', since that is in file name.
Here is a good example
EDIT:
Now with your config.rb , I can see you are using :en as default and :ru as russian
Since you are using :en as default(non prefixed), you dont have to map that. or if you want that to be mapped and not be default you might have to use ':mount_at_root => false' with activate 'activate :i18n,'
Try the following solution
activate :i18n, :langs => [:en,:ru], :lang_map => {:ru => :russian}
Like I said, I simply just removed :en mapping and it worked on my test. Since you make :en as default you dont have to map it. If you want both languages to be mapped correctly then use the following
activate :i18n, :mount_at_root => false, :langs => [:en,:ru], :lang_map => {:en => :english ,:ru => :russian}
I have an uploader (internal use only) that will upload an HTML document to a binary column of a table in my client-facing website. The client facing site has an index that allows the user to view the page as a normal website (using send_data h_t.html_code, :type => "html", :disposition => "inline"). I also want to give the user the ability to download a PDF of the page. For that I'm using wicked_pdf.
The entire problem seems to stem from the fact that the data is stored in the database. As strange as it sounds, it is vital to business operations that I get formatting exact. The issue is I can't see any image, and the stylesheets/style tags don't have any effect.
What I've tried-
Gsub-
def show
html = HtmlTranscript.find(params[:id])
html_code = html.html_code.gsub('<img src="/images/bwTranscriptLogo.gif" alt="Logo">','<%= wicked_pdf_image_tag "bwTranscriptLogo.gif" %>')
html_code = html_code.gsub('<link rel="StyleSheet" href="" type="text/css">','<%= wicked_pdf_stylesheet_link_tag "transcripts.css" %>')
transcript = WickedPdf.new.pdf_from_string(html_code)
respond_to do |format|
format.html do
send_data transcript, :type => "pdf", :disposition => "attachment"
end
##### i never could get this part figured out, so if you have a fix for this...
# format.pdf do
# render :pdf => "transcript_for_#{#html.created_at}", :template => "html_transcripts/show.html.erb", :layout => false
# end
end
end
Using a template-
#Controller (above, modified)
html = HtmlTranscript.find(params[:id])
#html_code = html.html_code.gsub('<img src="/images/bwTranscriptLogo.gif" alt="Logo">','<%= wicked_pdf_image_tag "bwTranscriptLogo.gif" %>')
#html_code = #html_code.gsub('<link rel="StyleSheet" href="" type="text/css">','<%= wicked_pdf_stylesheet_link_tag "transcripts.css" %>')
transcript = WickedPdf.new.pdf_from_string(render_to_string(:template => "html_transcripts/show.html.erb", :layout => false))
#view
<!-- tried with stylesheet & image link tags, with wicked_pdf stylesheet & image link tags, with html style & img tags, etc -->
<%= raw(#html_code) %>
And both will generate a transcript- but neither will have style OR image.
Creating an initializer-
module WickedPdfHelper
def wicked_pdf_stylesheet_link_tag(*sources)
sources.collect { |source|
"<style type='text/css'>#{Rails.application.assets.find_asset("#{source}.css")}</style>"
}.join("\n").gsub(/url\(['"](.+)['"]\)(.+)/,%[url("#{wicked_pdf_image_location("\\1")}")\\2]).html_safe
end
def wicked_pdf_image_tag(img, options={})
image_tag wicked_pdf_image_location(img), options
end
def wicked_pdf_image_location(img)
"file://#{Rails.root.join('app', 'assets', 'images', img)}"
end
def wicked_pdf_javascript_src_tag(source)
"<script type='text/javascript'>#{Rails.application.assets.find_asset("#{source}.js").body}</script>"
end
def wicked_pdf_javascript_include_tag(*sources)
sources.collect{ |source| wicked_pdf_javascript_src_tag(source) }.join("\n").html_safe
end
end
did absolutely nothing, and I have no idea what to try next.
As a side note, the code to view the HTML version of the transcript is as follows:
def transcript_data
h_t = HtmlTranscript.find(params[:id])
send_data h_t.html_code, :type => "html", :disposition => "inline"
end
It requires no view, as the html data is stored in the database, but I get image, style, etc. Everything works with the HTML version- just not the PDF.
I'm on ruby 1.8.7 with rails 3.0.20.
Solved-
As it turns out, there was more than one issue at hand.
1- Installation of wkhtmltopdf for Ubuntu via $apt-get install does not quite do the trick for what I wanted...
see http://rubykitchen.in/blog/2013/03/17/pdf-generation-with-rails
(there may have also been an issue with having not previously run sudo apt-get install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev libxrender-dev, as when I did, it installed a number of components I did not previously have.)
2- The HTML files I had uploaded contained image & style code that was breaking the formatting. I fixed it with this...
def rm_by_line(which = 0, line1 = 0, line2 = 0)
h_t = HtmlTranscript.find(which)
line_by_line = h_t.html_code.split('
')
for i in line1..line2
line_by_line[i] = ''
end
line_by_line = line_by_line.join('
').strip
return line_by_line
end
Then, all I had to do was pass which lines I wanted to remove.
(I had to split the parens with a carriage return because '\n' didn't function properly when calling 'raw' on the returned string.)
3- wicked_pdf_stylesheet_link_tag and wicked_pdf_image_tag were undefined. I had to inline the style formatting I wanted into a layout I created (turns out wicked_pdf_stylesheet_link_tag used asset pipeline wich my ruby/rails did not implement, which also means I had to get rid of the javascript helpers) and created a helper for wicked_pdf_image_tag, making a switch in the layout for which image tag (image_tag or wicked_pdf_image_tag) to be used.
4- I needed both a .html.erb & a .pdf.erb for my templates, so I made both.
5- Got rid of WickedPdf.new.pdf_from_string in favor of linking to either html or pdf by using :format => 'html' or :format => 'pdf' in the link_to tag.
I have this in my Rails controller:
def download_clip
send_file "public/output.mp4", :type=>"video/mp4", :filename => "output.mp4", :disposition => 'attachment'
end
and in my HTML code I have this:
Now could somebody tell me why Firefox's download window will NOT pou up, but chrome downloads the file fine? Instead firefox opens a new window and starts playing the file. I WANT THE DOWNLOAD BOX to POPUP. I have spend too much time on it
You are using a relative url, which may not map correctly depending on the page it is used.
Try changing your link to:
<%= link_to "some text", :controller => :your_controller_name, :action => :download_clip %>
If this doesn't help, check if the Content-Diposition response header is being set as 'attachment'. If it is, then the problem is likely with your own Firefox environment and not with the server. Resetting Firefox to defaults should fix that...
Add
headers['Content-Disposition'] = "attachment;"
in your download_clip action..
I wanna override html code when working with active_admin gem in Rails; because the nav-bar and many elements in these gem's views are different with my views (other pages). I hope that has a way to change html code without changing css manually! Thanks
It is not very easy , activeadmin use DSL for building html (called "Arbre")
You have to monkey patch every page class, also , it may prevent customizing of css too.
For example to move sidebar to left, create initializer with next patch.
class ActiveAdmin::Views::Pages::Base < Arbre::HTML::Document
def build_page_content
build_flash_messages
div :id => "active_admin_content", :class => (skip_sidebar? ? "without_sidebar" : "with_sidebar") do
build_sidebar unless skip_sidebar?
build_main_content_wrapper
end
end
end
default method was
def build_page_content
build_flash_messages
div :id => "active_admin_content", :class => (skip_sidebar? ? "without_sidebar" : "with_sidebar") do
build_main_content_wrapper
build_sidebar unless skip_sidebar?
end
end
The full list of classes used for rendering can be found here , so some of them you need to patch.
https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin/tree/master/lib/active_admin/views
Be ready for a big piece of work.
UPD. Gem for changing activeadmin sidebar position

I need a repeating image to be shown on every page of the pdf. The only solution to this I've found so far is putting it into the header using
%meta{:name => 'pdfkit-header_html', :content => pdf_header_url}
Works fine but the image is bigger than the header size. Is there any way I can increase the height of the header or put a repeating image somehow outside the header?
Thanks!
You'll need to tweak the margin-top and header-spacing values. For example:
%meta{:name => 'pdfkit-header_html', :content => pdf_header_url}
%meta{:name => 'pdfkit-margin_top', :content => '3cm' }
%meta{:name => 'pdfkit-header_spacing', :content => '10' }
From the wkhtmltopdf docs:
--header-spacing * <real> Spacing between header and content in mm
(default 0)
-T, --margin-top <unitreal> Set the page top margin (default 10mm)
You can put any of the wkpdftohtml options in the meta tags and PDFKit will pass them through.
I ended up adding this code
PDFKit.configure do |config|
config.default_options = {
:page_size => 'Letter',
:margin_top => '3.6in',
:margin_right => '0.3in',
:margin_bottom => '1.3in',
:margin_left => '0.3in'
}
end
to /config/initializers/pdfkit.rb. Worked like charm after I restarted the server.
