Working With Rails

It depends on what your partial is doing. If your partial expects a params like hash, you could use Hash.from_xml to parse the XML and turn it into a Hash. Otherwise, please post the details of the partial.

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. But here’s my code and solution.

My partial looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/slideshow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    XMLFlashSlideshow_v3({swf:'/images/slideshow.swf',
        w:'600',h:'360',redirect:'',usePreloader:'true',
        xml: '/images/slideshow.xml, <%= url_for :controller => "magazines", :action => "gallery", :id => @mag -%>',
        preventCache:'true',
        disableMultipleXML:'false',
        initXML:''});
    // ]]>
</script>

In the javascript, the parameter called ‘xml:’ is where you specify the path to the xml file spelling out the image paths you want to show. Previously I was using send_data to stream a file straight to that parameter but it was just rendering in the browser. But it expects a path to a file. So I created a controller action that triggers the xml send_data method and using url_for, all is well.

I hope this was clear enough to help someone else.

hi i want to pass a list of playlist in my video so i have used xml for this but it did not reflect any thing on that so how i can do that Thanks Amit Agarwal

Please provide some more info about how you are using the xml. Is there a flash object looking for a file somewhere or is there some other situation going on here?
