I am filling PDF forms in my rails app with the pdf-forms (https://github.com/jkraemer/pdf-forms) gem, based on PDFtk. Text fields work as I would expect, but my checkbox fields do not. The boxes display well in Chrome, but in Preview and Mail the checkbox fields appear empty.
class FormsController < ApplicationController
require 'pdf_forms'
def acord25
#policy = Policy.find(params[:id])
pdftk = PdfForms.new('/usr/local/bin/pdftk')
# find out the field names that are present in form.pdf
pdftk.get_field_names 'lib/pdfs/acord25.pdf'
# take form.pdf, set the 'foo' field to 'bar' and save the document to myform.pdf
pdftk.fill_form '/lib/pdfs/acord25.pdf', "acord25.pdf",

end
TL;DR: Checked boxes display in Chrome, but not in Preview or Mail.
I appreciate any help or leads on what the problem might be. Thank you!
Turns out the PDF form was corrupted. Had to recreate form, not a PDFTK issue.

I'm using the fedex gem version 3.9 and cannot get the "signature required" option printed on my fedex label.
This is how it looks:
label = fedex.label(
:filename => "public/labels/#{label_name}",
:shipper => shipper,
:recipient => recipient,
:packages => packages,
:service_type => service_type,
:signature_required => true,
:shipping_options => shipping_options)
I remember this used to work a couple of months ago but now it doesn't.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Best,
Turns out that the signature options should be sent as part of the packages. Then it prints the label with the right signature initials
packages = [{
:weight => {:units => "LB", :value => 3},
:dimensions => {:length => 10, :width => 5, :height => 4, :units => "IN" },
:special_services_requested => {:special_service_types => "SIGNATURE_OPTION", :signature_option_detail => {:signature_option_type => "DIRECT"} }
}]
label = fedex.label(
:filename => "public/labels/#{label_name}",
:shipper => shipper,
:recipient => recipient,
:packages => packages
:shipping_options => shipping_options)
I working on an existing code base for a client. The app is built in rails 2.3 and uses the fedex plugin. Now i have develop a functionality for shipping the goods using international priority service type, the problem i'm facing is when ever i make a call to the fedex api for a shipping label it returns an error
"Fedex::FedexError: Unable to get label from Fedex: Customs Value is required"
Can some one help me how to mention the customs value for the label.
This is how my code is:
price, labels, tracking_number = fedex.label(
:shipper => { :contact => shipper, :address => origin },
:recipient => { :contact => recipient, :address => destination.merge(:residential => false) },
:service_type => service_type,
:packages => [{:length => 3,
:height => 4,
:width => 5,
:weight => 5,
}],
:weight => 5,
:commodities => commodities,
:customs_value =>{:currency => "USD", :amount => "100" },
:residential => is_residential_destination
)
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to subscribe and update members of a Mailchimp list from my Rails 3.2 app via the API.
Everything is working fine, except that I am unable to set interest groups.
What is the correct format for setting groupings.
I've tried
merge_vars: 'GROUPINGS' => [
[
'id' => group_id,
'groups' => ['array', 'of', 'groups']
]
]
and
merge_vars: 'GROUPINGS' => [
[
'id' => group_id,
'groups' => "comma,separated,groups"
]
]
and
merge_vars: 'GROUPINGS' => [
0 => [
'id' => group_id,
'groups' => "comma,separated,groups"
]
]
and several other variations.
Nothing seems to work and the docs are unclear
Took me some time but I finnaly figured out the correct format :
#gb.lists.subscribe({:id => list_id,
:email => {:email => self.email},
:merge_vars => {:FNAME => self.firstname,
:groupings => [{:id => grouping_id,
:groups => ["name","of","groups"]
}]
},
:double_optin => false,
:send_welcome => false,
:update_existing => true})
I'm using rails 3.1.11 and gibbon 0.5.0
Hope this will help !
What's I want?
I want to generate .docx file or .odt file from template file in Rails 3.2
I want to use Japanese in it.
In ubuntu server 12.04 & ruby 1.9.3p194 & rails 3.2.8
What's happen?
I tried gems 'docx-templater' and 'serenity'
ruby-docx-templater
https://github.com/jawspeak/ruby-docx-templater
1 sample works good
2 try to do the same in my rails app
in controller as is sample
def gen_docx
input_file = './app/template/ExampleTemplate.docx'
data = {
:teacher => "Priya Vora",
:building => "Building #14",
:classroom => :'Rm 202',
:district => "Washington County Public Schools",
:senority => 12.25,
:roster => [
{:name => 'Sally', :age => 12, :attendence => '100%'},
{:name => :Xiao, :age => 10, :attendence => '94%'},
{:name => 'Bryan', :age => 13, :attendence => '100%'},
{:name => 'Larry', :age => 11, :attendence => '90%'},
{:name => 'Kumar', :age => 12, :attendence => '76%'},
{:name => 'Amber', :age => 11, :attendence => '100%'},
{:name => 'Isaiah', :age => 12, :attendence => '89%'},
{:name => 'Omar', :age => 12, :attendence => '99%'},
{:name => 'Xi', :age => 11, :attendence => '20%'},
{:name => 'Noushin', :age => 12, :attendence => '100%'}
],
:event_reports => [
{:name => 'Science Museum Field Trip', :notes => 'PTA sponsored event. Spoke to Astronaut with HAM radio.'},
{:name => 'Wilderness Center Retreat', :notes => '2 days hiking for charity:water fundraiser, $10,200 raised.'}
],
:created_at => "11-12-03 02:01"
}
DocxTemplater::DocxCreator.new(input_file, data).generate_docx_file()
end
3 but the error raised
the error raised at following point in gem (docx_templater.rb 22)
File.open(file_name, 'w') { |f| f.write(buffer) }
serenity
https://github.com/kremso/serenity
1 sample works well
2 do the same in my rails app and works well
like this
#encoding: utf-8
require 'serenity'
class Showcase
include Serenity::Generator
Person = Struct.new(:name, :items)
Item = Struct.new(:name, :usage)
def generate_showcase
#title = 'Serenity inventory'
mals_items = [Item.new('Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B', 'Lock and load')]
mal = Person.new('Malcolm Reynolds', mals_items)
jaynes_items = [Item.new('Vera', 'Callahan full-bore auto-lock with a customized trigger, double cartridge and thorough gauge'),
Item.new('Lux', 'Ratatata'),
Item.new('Knife', 'Cut-throat')]
jayne = Person.new('Jayne Cobb', jaynes_items)
#crew = [mal, jayne]
render_odt 'app/template/showcase.odt'
end
end
3 I tried my template including Japanese but the error raised.
the error raised at following point in gem(template.rb 22)
def process context
tmpfiles = []
Zip::ZipFile.open(#template) do |zipfile|
%w(content.xml styles.xml).each do |xml_file|
content = zipfile.read(xml_file)
odteruby = OdtEruby.new(XmlReader.new(content))
out = odteruby.evaluate(context)
tmpfiles << (file = Tempfile.new("serenity"))
file << out #!!!! HERE !!!!
file.close
zipfile.replace(xml_file, file.path)
end
end
end
What I did?
I found that 'serenity' have rspec test for Greek (UTF-8) in gem.I tried Japanese the same way. and the test passed!. so I thought the problem is not in gems in rails setting.
add magic comment "#encoding: utf-8" to my controller or lib file
confirm 'config.encoding = "utf-8"' in config/application.rb
add following to config/enviroment.rb above "initialize!"
Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8
Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8
I don't use any database in my rails app.
But all is nothing to do with my case... any idea?
I may not know the basic things ...
This is a little old, but I just ran into this same situation. In my case, it was a matter of setting the tempfile to binary mode prior to writing to it:
tmpfiles << (file = Tempfile.new("serenity"))
file.binmode
file << out
file.close
Hope this helps
I've trying to get the flickr-fu gem to search correctly only for commercial friendly photos but with no luck. It seems to ignore the parameter altogether.
photos = flickr.photos.search(:text => "anything",
:tags => 'architecture',
#:license_id => '4,6,5',
:license_id => [0,4,5,6],
#:license_id => 0,
:content_type => '1',
:safe_search => '1',
:sort => 'date-posted-asc, relevance',
:per_page => 5)
The license IDs 1,2,3 are NonCommercial, so I'm trying to avoid those and take all others, but it doesn't seem to matter, i'm still getting a lot of 3s in my query.
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.licenses.getInfo.html
http://github.com/commonthread/flickr_fu/blob/master/lib/flickr/photos.rb
Nevermind, this seems to work.
photos = flickr.photos.search(:text => "anything",
:tags => 'architecture',
:license => '0,4,5,6',
:content_type => '1',
:safe_search => '1',
:sort => 'date-posted-asc, relevance',
:per_page => 5)
