Answer 1

i am not sure, but i am having the exact problem with rails 2.3.8 and ruby 1.9.1. what are you running?

Answer 2

It appears that the new version only works with Rails 3.

safe_contact seems to be a function only available to Rails.

I went to the table_builder site and followed the instructions to try and get it to work f with Rails 2.3.8, but to no avail.

Thankfully I had an older version of the plugin installed with a previous project and, after copying and pasting it to vendor/plugins, things now seem to work.

A bit annoying thought!

Not sure it helps ... but it is my two-penneth.

Answer 3

I'm using Rails 2.3.5 and Ruby 1.8.7. What I did was installing the plugin with cloning the project directly into vendor/plugins

git clone http://github.com/p8/table_builder.git

Then I checkout into a very specific commit (Before it was turned into a gem and made rails3 compatible)

git checkout -b pre-gem 21bb3fd2361b04076e7337603fcdd83b6428b47f

And everything was ok after that.

Important to note that if you have rails_xss plugin, it will try to escape html by default and print out a bunch of html tags on your page.
