Assistance using respond_to to find the right actions to render PDF in ruby on rails
- by Angela
Hi, I am trying out Prince with the Princely plugin, which is supposed to format templates that have the .pdf into a PDF generator.
Here is my controller:
class TodoController < ApplicationController
def show_date
@date = Date.today
@campaigns = Campaign.all
@contacts = Contact.all
@contacts.each do |contact|
end
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.pdf do
render :pdf => "filename", :stylesheets => ["application", "prince"], :layout => "pdf"
end
end
end
end
I changed the routes.db to include the following:
map.connect ':controller/:action.:format'
map.todo "todo/today",
:controller => "todo",
:action => "show_date"
My expected behavior is when I enter todo/today.pdf, it tries to execute show_date, but renders according to the princely plugin.
Right now, it says cannot find action. What do I need to do to fix this?
