Can anyone help me out regarding fetching xml data from a source and then parsing it into a form? I'm not sure on how to proceed. I looked it up and found a relevant thread: http://groups.google.com/group/hobousers/browse_thread/thread/98bb06bac22d939d/ff13568aa7a22e8a?lnk=gst&q=isbn#ff13568aa7a22e8a. But i honestly have no idea on where to start or what I need.
I have an Advert Model (which is for books only) fields do isbn :string title :string, :required author :string, :required edition :string condition enum_string(:As new, :Good, :OK, :Bad) price :string timestamps end My question is about the same as the user who started the above thread: I want to allow the user to click on the "New Advert" link in the Adverts index page, enter the isbn, then press a button or click a link to do a lookup to a restful API service like isbndb.com to get the rest of the data about the book like author, publisher and populate those fields on the New Advert page, and allow the user to review the data before clicking the Save Advert or Cancel button. "I want to make this a separate action tied to a button or link as opposed to an ajax action triggered by tabbing out of the isbn field, because I do not want this to be done automatically when editing an existing book. " Can anybody help me out? Any help would be very much appreciated. Also, would gladly donate a somewhat amount for a complete walkthrough. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
