Hi All,
I''m a bit stumped. All I''m trying to do is format a date and
I get an
error. Details below.
I have a partial to list all "notes" associated with a
"client" with the
following code.
<% for note in @client.notes %>
<hr />
<%=h note.note_text %>
Posted on <%=h note.created_at.strftime("%I:%M") %> by <%=h
note.created_by %>
<% end %>
Which gives me the error...
|"You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error
occured
while evaluating nil.strftime"
When I remove the |.strftime("%I:%M") from note.created_at the display
works correctly showing the data with the default format of "Fri Feb 17
22:05:10 Central Standard Time 2006 by Sam Schroeder"
I''m still fairly new to Rails so please bear with me.
Thanks,
Sam

Did you create the records first, then add the ''created_at'' field later which might mean that you have records where this field is null? Craig

"Fri Feb 17 22:05:10 Central Standard Time 2006 by Sam Schroeder" That is why I''m stumped at the error I get when attempting to format the data.

Perhaps try updating Rails to the latest version? If that doesn''t work I''m afraid I''m out of ideas. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
