I am trying to fetched complete list in rails 3.0 and getting below error

NoMethodError (undefined method `collect!' for #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>):

Below is code

ConstantContact::List.find (:all)

Kindly help me in this regards

rails/rails@51f1f55 will break this library because of the way we override find_every. It's an easy fix, but we need to coordinate with their launch appropriately.

If a List does not contain any contacts the @attributes collection will not contain the ContactCount key. This will cause an exception. The :contact_count method should be hard-coded as an instance method and return 0 if the ContactCount attribute is missing.

Perhaps adding an empty? method for the list would be handy as well.

The gem raises an exception when you try to save an existing contact which has no contact lists (e.g. one that is in the do-not-mail group).

> contact = ConstantContact::Contact.find(1)
 => #<ConstantContact::Contact:0x100000000 @prefix_options={}, @attributes={"Status"=>"Do Not Mail", ...

> contact.contact_lists
 => nil

> contact.save
NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.sort
    from .../lib/constant_contact/contact.rb:21:in `to_xml'
...

I'm new to Constant Contact, so perhaps you aren't allowed to update contacts that are in the do-not-mail group, but in that case there should be a more meaningful error. If you are allowed to update these contacts, there should be a way to fix this.

When i try to obtain ContactLists from a Contact which got with ConstantContact::Contact.find_by_email(email) it respond "undefined method 'ContactLists' for ConstantContact::Contact" but when i use this with a Contact recently saved it works successfully

when signing up for the constant contact API, i was given a key_display_name, key, consumer_secret and status.

When you mention user in this gem and password, do you really mean the ones i log in with?

Has their login process changed? Just seems odd getting a secret key and using http authentication really.

Any help would be great.

As of November 2010, the Constant Contact API supports OAuth for authentication (http://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Documentation/Authenticating-Requests-with-OAuth/ba-p/25073).

This library should offer OAuth support, not just Basic. Although, we should keep Basic support for legacy reasons.

The encode_data method should add a carriage return after the last contact. Currently, the contact_strings are joined with a "\n" but the last contact entry needs to have a CR after it (according to the AppConnect examples for using Activity).

Line 36 should look like this:
result += CGI.escape(contact_strings.join("\n") + "\n")

Is it possible to get additional customer data aside from just the email address? I'm specifically interested in the postal address.

I'm trying to create a new contact. Right now, Contact#to_xml puts the user on list 1 by default.

Why is this the default behavior? It's breaking my save request when I try to create a contact, and the account doesn't have a list with ID 1. Is this done because we can't create a new contact without putting it on at least one list?
