Rails-bootstrap-markdown Gem: not working on POST - ruby-on-rails

Ok, I'm not sure if I'm the dumb one or if the Rails-Bootstrap-Markdown Gem just doesn't give enough information on how to correctly use the gem.
The text area shows the markdown buttons and correctly manipulates the text. Also, when I click "Preview," the text displays exactly like I want it ("bold", "italic", etc). But when I go to POST the text, it does not parse the text to HTML.
I've added `data: { provide: 'markdown' } to my form's text area and here are my JS and CSS.SCSS files:
application.js:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery.turbolinks
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery-ui
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require cocoon
//= require local_time
//= require bootstrap-markdown-bundle
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .
application.css.scss:
*= require jquery-ui
*= require bootstrap-markdown
*= require_tree .
*= require bootstrap-datepicker3
*= require_self

I think you are misunderstanding the use of bootstrap markdown here.
Simple Markdown editing tools that works!
It is stated as a markdown editing tool, that means it is used to produce markdown output, not html output.
The html tags you saw in preview is just something to simulate the display of value in markdown displayer, not the value itself.
If you want to translate the output(in markdown format) to html, you could consider these gems: redcarpet or kramdown

Ruby on Rails + pickadate.js -> what's wrong?

I'm beginner in RoR and trying to enable pickadate.js in my app.
In matching controller's file app/assets/javascripts/calc_date.js.coffee
I've typed:
$ ->
$(".date").pickadate()
In form partial app/views/calc_date/_form.html.haml I've typed:
= form_tag('/calc_date/calc') do
%div
%b Please, select date:
= date_field_tag 'date', #date, id: "date", class: "date"
= submit_tag 'Calculate'
When I click into input field nothing is happening.
I'm expecting that a calendar widget will appear but it won't work.
In application.js:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require pickadate/picker
//= require pickadate/picker.date
//= require pickadate/translations/ru_RU
//= require_tree .
In application.css:
*= require pickadate/default
*= require pickadate/default.date
*= require_tree .
*= require_self
I did a try with jquery-ui-date and it worked. I use the same way with pickadate.js but got no reaction from it.
In terminal window I can see lines like this:
Started GET "/assets/pickadate/picker.js?body=1" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-03-12 15:26:44 +0300
Started GET "/assets/pickadate/picker.date.js?body=1" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-03-12 15:26:44 +0300
What is my mistake or what had I've missed?
Thank you.
I know this is a little old but I just came across a similar issue and I think it would be the same problem you seem to be having.
Bit of a run down for my situation:
I'm working on a client's form and have pickadate running, it was working, then I realized that every time I loaded a new page it wouldn't initiate... refresh page, works again.
What was the problem...... TURBO LINKS.... my god, that thing drives me nuts. I always take it out but it was in there as I can see its in your app too.
Apart from that, your code seems fine, should be working.
The Rails asset pipeline ignores the first folder in the assets directory. Try this instead:
In application.js:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require picker
//= require picker.date
//= require translations/ru_RU
//= require_tree .
In application.css:
*= require default
*= require default.date
*= require_tree .
*= require_self

Bootstrap Datepicker gem not formatting in rails

I know this type of question has come up before on SO, and I have tried every solution I could find, but nothing seems to work. The javascript is working fine, but for some reason, I can't get the datepicker window to go in the right spot or format correctly. After testing multiple gems, I keep getting this:
There are no errors in my console. Here is what my related gems look like in my Gemfile:
gem 'jquery-rails', "~> 2.3.0"
gem 'bootstrap-sass'
gem 'bootstrap-datepicker-rails'
And here is my application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require bootstrap
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require_self
And my application.css has:
*= require bootstrap-datepicker
As for the actual html file, it looks like this (application#index.html)
<input type="text" data-behaviour='datepicker' >
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[data-behaviour~=datepicker]').datepicker();
})
</script>
Any and all ideas are welcome.
UPDATE:
It seems like my bootstrap css files aren't loading at all. Do I need to use css.scss files? I can't seem to find a straightforward answer online. Manually inserting the css into my application.css file results in this:
Just for a sanity check give the standard jquery datepicker a shot. I generally use it with bootstrap.
app/assets/javascripts/application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require jquery.ui.datepicker
//= require jquery.timepicker.js
//= require_tree .
app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
*= require jquery.ui.datepicker
*= require jquery.timepicker.css
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
app/assets/javascripts/your_model.js.coffee
jQuery ->
$("#div_id_here").datepicker dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"
Since you're using bootstrap-sass, you can (and should) use #import statements instead of *= require statements for your css.scss files. This allows you to define and use variables, etc amongst all of your css.scss files, which allows for full customization of Bootstrap and its components. I'm not sure if there could be something else wrong with your configuration... but I'd suggest starting here anyway since none of your css is showing up. So your application.css.scss file would look like:
# #import any file that may contain variables you'd like to use in any libraries
# added below this point (e.g. `defines.css.css`)
#import "bootstrap_and_overrides";
#import "bootstrap-datepicker";
# #import "whatever other .css.scss files you have...";
Then in bootstrap.css.scss you'd individually import each of the desired bootstrap CSS components after "overriding" any variables. Here is what you need to start from:
variables (this is the basis your variable/style "overrides", placed at the tope of your bootstrap_and_overrides.css.scss file.)
bootstrap components (this is the core of your bootstrap_and_overrides.css.scss file.)

Twitter Bootstrap Rails Datetime picker

I would like to include the following datetime picker in my rails application.
http://www.malot.fr/bootstrap-datetimepicker/
I am using twitter bootstrap for rails, but can't get it to work.
I tried adding the .js file to the assets/javascripts directory and using //= require to include it in the application.js file.
The files are loading on the page, but I'm getting a response that
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'datetimepicker'
Any ideas? I've reverted all of my changes, so can start again from scratch.
application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require bootstrap
//= require_tree .
I think the problem happened at //=require_tree. Yes you added that plugin but the plugin is loaded after your custom js which have method to call the plugin. That's why "Object has no method 'datetimepicker'".
I would suggest you to:
Move the plugin into vendor/assets/javascripts/. This is a better place for third party libs.
require the plugin explicitly in application, after bootstrap(it depends on bootstrap's dropdown. Like
//= require bootstrap
//= require datetime_picker_js_file_name
//= require_tree .
Side notes:
I don't quite know why there are two bootstrap js files required. Are they duplicate?
Besides, I would recommend to require Bootstrap js files only on need, like
//= require bootstrap-dropdown
//= require bootstrap-alert

Bootstrap datepicker not working in rails 3

Bootstrap datepicker just won't work for me. I know this question has been asked before but after searching a long time I could not find an answer.
I have the following configurations. When loading the page, the input field appears but no calendar to select appears when clicking on the field. Any help is very appreciated.
application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap
//= require_tree .
//= require prototype
//= require prototype_ujs
//= require effects
//= require dragdrop
//= require controls
//= require bootstrap-datetimepicker
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require_self
$('[data-behaviour~=datepicker]').datepicker()
application.css
/*
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
*= require bootstrap-datepicker
*/
custom.css.scss
#import "bootstrap";
#import 'bootstrap-datetimepicker';
and in the view
<input type="text" data-behaviour='datepicker' >
I have tried a couple of variations suggested in other topics on stackoverflow, but none of them worked. E.g.,
$(function() {
$('#dp5').datepicker()
});
together with
<input class="span2" id="dp5" readonly="" value="02-02-2012" size="16">
does not work neither.
Have you tried this gem: https://github.com/lubieniebieski/bootstrap-datetimepicker-rails ?
It will pack your Javascript and CSS required for datetimepicker into rails asset pipeline properly.
This problem happens because of the jquery version in your case
//= require jquery
Try downloading another version of the jquery and replace your current one. I had the exact same problem and that was the solution. Try with versions 1.5 or 2.0 or something like that.
Also, please note that by:
//= require_tree .
You are including .js files from the javascript directory, so please be sure that you haven't downloaded another version of jquery and you are automatically including second version also. You will have conflict issues.
If it all doesn't work you can try to look at the answer here also jQuery in Rails 3.2 not displaying datepicker
Important:
Make sure when you are testing to refresh your page with ctrl+ F5 ! It will refresh the whole page from the beginning and it will not include cashed elements and this is very important as you might find a solution, but due cashing you will not notice the change and you could miss the solution only because of the cashing.

Extending bootstrap typeahead with bootstrap-sass

I'm creating a rails site using the bootstrap-sass gem and it works fine.
I'm also successfully initializing the typeahead on my js.erb:
$container.find('.typeahead').typeahead({source: [<%= #cities %>], items:20});
But now I want to use an extended version of typeahead that uses an array of kvp objects instead of strings. This one from tcrosen seems just fine.
I added their bootstrap-typeahead.js to app/assests/javascripts folder. Changed the application.js to include that file:
...
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap
//= require bootstrap-typeahead
//= require_tree .
But it seems that he's using the typeahead function defined on bootstrap.min.js instead of the new one.
How can I point him to use the right file?
ps: I'm using other bootstrap javascripts plugins so I can't just delete bootstrap.min.js
Instead of specifying the global file
//= require bootstrap
you can separately require them :
//= require bootstrap-affix
//= require bootstrap-alert
//= require bootstrap-button
//= require bootstrap-carousel
//= require bootstrap-collapse
//= require bootstrap-dropdown
//= require bootstrap-modal
//= require bootstrap-scrollspy
//= require bootstrap-tab
//= require bootstrap-tooltip
//= require bootstrap-transition
and so don't include the last one //= require bootstrap-typeahead. With that you can require the bootstrap-typeahead javascript file from tcrosen (putting in your asset javascript directory and require it, but don't forget to rename it also, otherwise the old bootstrap typeahead will be use). Tested with bootstrap-sass and tcrosen/twitter-bootstrap-typeahead.
