Hi, I’m pretty sure to have seen a new method ‘remove_accents’ in Rails
2.2 but I can’t find it again. Is it me or does this method exists for
good ?
Thanks

Hi Bob,
I don’t know about such a method, but I hope it exists. In the mean
time, I’ve tried one I found on this same forum (in French:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/144612#784212). Unfortunately, it
doesn’t work when I run my application, but it works in irb! I suspect
it’s got to do with encoding…
def ApplicationHelper.remove_accents( str )
accents = { ['á','à ','â','ä','ã','Ã','Ä','Â','À'] => 'a',
['é','è','ê','ë','Ë','É','È','Ê'] => 'e',
['Ã','ì','î','ï','I','ÃŽ','ÃŒ'] => 'i',
['ó','ò','ô','ö','õ','Õ','Ö','Ô','Ò'] => 'o',
['Å“'] => 'oe',
['ß'] => 'ss',
['ú','ù','û','ü','U','Û','Ù'] => 'u'
}
accents.each do |ac,rep|
ac.each do |s|
str.gsub!(s, rep)
end
end
return str
end
I tried setting $KCODE=“UTF-8” or $KCODE=“ISO-8859-1” at the top of my
source code, as suggested by cwilliams (creator of RadRails:
http://forums.aptana.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8234), but that doesn’t
solve my problem. If you get this working in a real application, please
let me know; I’m getting desparate!
Thanks,
Chris.
Here’s another solution:

Unfortunately, I still have the same encoding problems, but hopefully
it’ll work for you. And don’t hesitate to get back to me if you think
you know what I’m doing wrong
Good luck,
Chris.
Bob,
Rails doesn’t have a specific method to remove diacritics. There are a
couple alternatives - I used the 1st one and it works really great:

Cheers, Sazima

I tried that, but I get the following error message:
NameError: uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Handlers
I have Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.2.2.
Thanks,
Chris.
