I need to change the cover page of a Sphinx-generated latexpdf from RST.
How can I do that without modifying the Sphinx package itself?
I've noticed latex_preamble in the conf file but that only seems to append things. If that is the way an example would be helpful. Right now whatever I do only seems to add to rather than remove the cover page.
Found the answer and posting it here for anyone else who is interested.
In the conf.py file add the following entry:
"maketitle": "\\input{your_cover.tex}"
where your_cover.tex is your LaTeX file you want to be the cover.
I need to access a local JSON file. Since Grails 2.4 implements the AssetPipeline plugin by default, I saved my local JSON file at:
/grails-app/assets/javascript/vendor/me/json/local.json
Now what I need is to generate a URL to this JSON file, to be used as a function parameter on my JavaScript's $.getJSON() . I've tried using:
var URL.local = ""${ raw(asset.assetPath(src: "local.json")) }";
but it generates an invalid link:
console.log(URL.local);
// prints /project/assets/local.json
// instead of /project/assets/vendor/me/json/local.json
I also encountered the same scenario with images that are handled by AssetPipeline1.9.9— that are supposed to be inserted dynamically on the page. How can I generate the URL pointing this resource? I know, I can always provide a static String for the URL, but it seems there would be a more proper solution.
EDIT
I was asked if I could move the local JSON file directly under the assets/javascript root directory instead of placing it under a subdirectory to for an easier solution. I prefer not to, for organization purposes.
Have you tried asset.assetPath(src: "/me/json/local.json")
The assets plugin looks in all of the immediate children of assets/. Your local.json file would need to be placed in /project/assets/foo/ for your current code to pick it up.
Check out the relevant documentation here which contains an example.
The first level deep within the assets folder is simply used for organization purposes and can contain folders of any name you wish. File types also don't need to be in any specific folder. These folders are omitted from the URL mappings and relative path calculations.
How can I rewrite my url changing my default prefix .html or .php in / ?
For example look here: http://www.anderssonwise.com/studio/vision/
I've found this tut but nothing happen:
http://www.spencerdrager.com/2010/02/07/hide-php-extension-in-url-using-htaccess/
You have to use URL Rewrites, which is why Krister asked you if you have mod_rewrite enabled. It's not the simplest thing in the world to do but here's a pretty good tutorial:
http://www.addedbytes.com/articles/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/
You create a folder, in this example, /page/ and within that folder create index.html and then you'll be able to access the page like: http://domain.com/page/
When I'm in an html.erb file, I get no snipMate snippets.
I would like both HTML and Ruby, or just HTML would be fine,
How would I do this?
Would I need to write a set of snippets?
If so, is there a way of pulling in existing snippets without copying them?
Is there a way of telling vim to go into html mode when it sees .html erb?
You can use an autocmd to set the filetype to html when opening a ".html.erb" file. This could have unwanted side effects for plugins that work for ".erb" files.
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.html.erb set filetype=html
You can also load more than one set of snippets by using a dotted filetype:
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.html.erb set filetype=html.eruby
See :help snippet-syntax in the snipMate help for more info.
Snippets are stored in directory called snippets somewhere in your ~/.vim folder.
If you look there, there is usually one file per filetype, there is a c.snippets, a ruby.snippets, so it seems what you have to do is to create an erb.snippets there with what you want.
Eventually you could copy the content of ruby.snippets and html.snippets into your new erb.snippets.
Alternatively you can search on github, some people have posted their own erb.snippets configuration. For example, there is a nice collection there :
https://github.com/scrooloose/snipmate-snippets
The best thing would to try first to open a snippet file and look at the syntax, it is pretty easy to create your own snippet depending on what you use the most.
I am currently on a promoting tour for UltiSnips on StackOverflow. UltiSnips supports extending other file types, your erb.snippets would look like this:
extends html, ruby, rails
snippet temp "A snippet only in Erb"
erb rules ${1}
endsnippet
A conversion script for snipMate snippets is shipped with UltiSnips, so switching is easy.
I used the autocommand method to the set the filetype, but then I got html syntax errors for things like this:
<%= image_tag("logo.png", :alt => "Sample App", :class => "round") %>
The last two angle brackets would be highlighted in red, which drove me bonkers. So, I created a symlink called eruby.snippets that points to html.snippets. That worked like a champ and now I don't have to make changes in two places. I also have an eruby-rails snippet directory for non-html eruby snippets.
This is on a Mac OS X system. Note that an alias won't work. You need to hit the terminal and use the ln command. Not sure about doing this on a Windoze system.
You can assign multiple snippets scopes to a single filetype. (I've found that altering the filetype tends to break some syntax highlighting).
You can check that the filetype for erb files is indeed 'eruby' with:
:set filetype?
If you're using the maintained fork of snipmate, it looks like you'll want both the eruby.snippets and eruby-rails.snippets from the snipmate-snippets repository (owned by honza, but I don't have enough reputation to link to it here) (see the INSTALL section of the snipmate README for proper setup).
If you are using the maintained fork, I believe setting g:snipMate.scope_aliases in your .vimrc with the following will work for your example:
let g:snipMate = {}
let g:snipMate.scope_aliases = {}
let g:snipMate.scope_aliases['eruby'] = 'eruby,eruby-rails'
I've added a pull request to snipmate to have their documentation updated.
Jumping on the UltiSnips bandwagon after trying SnipMate for a while. Like SirVer mentioned, having the html, ruby, etc snippets available within an *.erb file was as simple as adding the extend line to the eruby.snippets file.
With the original snipMate plugin, create a file ~/.vim/ftplugin/erb_snippets.vim and put the following into it:
silent call ExtractSnipsFile(g:snippets_dir . 'html.snippets', &l:filetype)
silent call ExtractSnipsFile(g:snippets_dir . 'ruby.snippets', &l:filetype)
How is it possible to generate an absolute link to the javascript file.
I assume there should be something like the one below (which unfortunately does not seem to be available):
javascript_url 'main' # -> 'http://localhost:3000/javascripts/main.js'
instead of:
javascript_path 'main' # -> '/javascripts/main.js'
I need the absolute URL because that javascript file will be used in a bookmarklet.
Additionally I need the same for css file.
Thanks,
Dmitriy.
Absolute URLs to javascript and css files are now available in Rails 4 in ActionView::Helpers::AssetUrlHelper module via Asset Pipeline. In your case specifically it's javascript_url and its alias url_to_javascript and corresponding methods for stylesheets.
And the result is exactly as you mentioned in your question:
javascript_url 'main' # -> 'http://localhost:3000/javascripts/main.js'
Though the question was asked ages ago, hope it will help people seeking answer to the same question in future.
I've written this little helper to do this:
def absolute_javascript_url(source)
uri = URI.parse(root_url)
uri.merge(javascript_path(source))
end
The key part being URI.merge which will automatically, and correctly merge the relative javascript_path with root_url.
Maybe you could simply use javascript_path combined with root_url?
For example:
root_url + javascript_path("main")
root_url is automatically generated by your root route.
You could also configure the Rails helpers to use a specific "base path" by setting ActionController::Base.asset_host in your environment's configuration file. Read more in the documentation.
