I''m trying to write a partial for a link_to_remote that i''m
using over
and over again, but simply moving the code to a partial doesn''t seem to
work.
Here is how I have it set up:
class_planner.rhtml:
<% for course in @courses %>
<%= render :partial => "class_list" %>
<% end %>
_class_list.rhtml:
<li>
<%= link_to_remote "#{course.title}",
{:url => {:action => "add_course", :id => course}},
:class => "course", :name => "#{course.title}"
%>
</li>
The main error I''m getting is that the method
''course'' is not found.
Is there something that I have to do differently when using a partial?
I''m thinking that I can''t access the
''course'' using #{course.whatever}
in a partial, but I''m not sure how to access it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Your problem is that course isn''t in the scope of the partial. By
default, the only variable that will get automatically passed is an @
variable that has the same name as the partial itself. If you want to
pass course into the partial, you need to amend your render call:
render(:partial => "course_list", :locals => {:course =>
course})
And then, in your partial, @course should be available.

Instance would exist, but you shouldn''t set instance variables in your view. The right is to tell partial to provide values for the local variables. <% for course in @courses %> <%= render :partial => "class_list", :locals => {:course => course} %> <% end %> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
