Hi,
I would like to implement a PDF function into my application.
I have already installed the pdf-writer-1.1.6.
Firstly, there are several folders in this zip folder e.g. pdf, writer
etc.
Where exactly should I paste this folders to?
Secondly, I added the following codes to the environment.rb:
require ‘pdf/writer’
Mime:Type.register ‘application/pdf’,:pdf
Where should I place these codes and the should the word “application”
be replaced with my project’s name?
I am sure that there is something wrong with the codes in here as when i
restarted WEBRICK in my command prompt, some of the errors that occurred
are:
- already initialized constant OPTIONS
-no such file to load – transaction/simple
Can someone please give me a solution? Because there is no way I can
implement the codes if I cannot start my WEBrick successfully.
This is quite urgent as the deadline is drawing nearer. Please help!
Thank you very much!!!
Hi
-

I would place them into the vendor directory or you can install the
library directly with gems so you don’t have to put the library into
your projects folder.

Secondly, I added the following codes to the environment.rb:
require ‘pdf/writer’
Mime:Type.register ‘application/pdf’,:pdf
You should place “require ‘pdf/writer’” into the main application
controller (application.rb) or only in those controllers, wich realy
need the library.
And “Mime:Type.register ‘application/pdf’,:pdf” is misspelled. The
correct syntax is Mime::Type.register ‘application/pdf’,:pdf and
should be placed in config/initializers/mime_types.rb (there are also
some examples in this file).

It looks like the transaction-simple gem might be missing.
gem install transaction-simple
