Hi all, I am trying to get a select box to choose the type of goal records to display using the scope field. I keep getting a " NoMethodError in Admin#list" on line 8 "undefined method `scope'' for {"scope"=>"Yearly"}:HashWithIndifferentAccess" The code from list.rhtml is <%= start_form_tag :action => ''list'' %> <p>View goals by scope: <% options = [["Select the Goal''s Scope", ""]] + Goal::GOAL_SCOPES %> <%= select("goal", "scope", options) %> <%= submit_tag ''Go'' %> </p> <%= end_form_tag %> and the list method is def list log = Logger.new(STDERR) log.level = Logger::DEBUG #log.debug(params[:goal][:scope]) @goal = params[:goal] if @goal != nil #@goals = Goal.find(1) @goals = Goal.find(:all, :conditions => ["scope = :scope", @goal]) #log.debug(@goal.scope) else @goal_pages, @goals = paginate :goals, :per_page => 10 end end The goal.rb is: class Goal < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :goal validates_uniqueness_of :goal acts_as_tree :order => "goal" GOAL_SCOPES = [["Lifetime", "Lifetime"], ["This Year", "This Year"], ["This Quarter", "This Quarter"], ["This Month", "This Month"], ["This Week", "This Week"]].freeze end It seems that this is just a simple problem, but I am very new to rails, any help is much appreciated Cheers Paul -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
