Modules are exactly what I needed to figure out, but once I started my app over again putting my controller under a module folder, I can''t get my basic app going. Basically I have a News app, where we will post PR and other articles of interest. It was working fine with a model/controller combo of news/index for the public and news/admin for the administrators. Keep in mind this was the very early stages of development. So I knew I wanted more components in the admin area, so I finally found modules and went back to do it all again with news/index for the public and admin/news/index for the administrators. Everything set up fine with the generator and scaffold for adding news in the admin area. However now I can''t get the public area to show the list of news. Here is what I did: /app/controllers/news_controller.rb class NewsController < ApplicationController def Index @news = News.news_items end end /app/models/news.rb class News < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :date_added, :date_live, :news_date, :added_by, :headline, :summary, :article def self.news_items find( :all, :conditions => "news_date <= now()", :order => "news_date desc") end end /app/views/news/index.rhtml <h1>Recent News</h1> <% for news in @news %> <h3><%= news.headline %></h3> <% end %> Here is the output of http://localhost:3000/news NoMethodError in News#index Showing app/views/news/index.rhtml where line #3 raised: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occured while evaluating nil.each Extracted source (around line #3): 1: <h1>Recent News</h1> 2: 3: <% for news in @news %> 4: 5: <h3><%= news.headline %></h3> 6: RAILS_ROOT: /Users/Chad/Sites/xxx/public/../config/.. Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/news/index.rhtml:3:in `_run_rhtml_news_index'' Request Parameters: None Show session dump Response Headers: {"cookie"=>[], "Cache-Control"=>"no-cache"} It appears to me that @news doesn''t contain anything according to the error. Where is my problem in the code? This worked fine when the admin section was news/admin, so is there something different that must be done when it is in the module /admin/news/admin? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
