Rails - Dec 2005 - probably a very dumb question

why does <%= render_text "hey ya" %>

cause ''undefined method `render_text'' for 
#<#<Class:0x3851120>:0x3851000>''

can i use render text in a template?

Pete,

It has a changed syntax (see: http://api.rubyonrails.org/)

Rendering of text is usually used for tests or for rendering prepared content, 
such as a cache. By default, text rendering is not done within the active 
layout.

  # Renders the clear text "hello world" with status code 200
  render :text => "hello world!"

Deprecation notice: This used to have the signature
render_text("text", status
= 200)

There''s no need to - all you need here is

<%= "hey ya" %>

(assuming that "hey ya" is a placeholder for something more dynamic -
if
it was just static text it should be part of the template itself).

The render method is a controller method.

Try <%= render :text => "hey ya" %> instead.
