I''m basically a Ruby noobie.
At the moment I''m having a fair bit of trouble trying to figure out
what''s going wrong here (partial template):
<% @project = Project.find(@the_id)
if current_user.userid == @project.client
hidden_field ''messages'', ''recipient'',
''value'' =>
@project.project_manager
else
hidden_field ''messages'', ''recipient'',
''value'' => @project.client
end
%>
The current_user.userid method is as follows (from model user.rb):
def userid
"#{self.id}"
end
All the values I use there are correct. Say that the current user id is
2, you are the client (which == 2), and the project manager (id) is 3.
The form that is output is "hidden_field ''messages'',
''recipient'',
''value'' => @project.client" instead of
"hidden_field ''messages'',
''recipient'', ''value'' =>
@project.client", and it happens every time. Why
does it not work? I tried stripping white space from the userid, I even
looked for possible string comparison problems, but there is no
easy-to-find info online. Please help!

Like that provided by acts_as_authenticated. _______________________________________________> Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yes, I should have done it in the controller (slaps wrist). However,
until I got it working I assumed it didn''t matter where it was - I just
wanted to figure out why it didn''t work. And no, it still
doesn''t work.
The following code still fails to compare the two numbers together
correctly.
current_user.userid returns the value ''2''
@project.client returns the value ''2''
thus @recipient should equal ''3''
however, it equals ''2'' when I output the form (<%=
hidden_field
''messages'', ''recipient'',
''value'' => @recipient %>)
def reply_message
@project = Project.find(@the_id)
if current_user.userid == @project.client
@recipient = @project.project_manager
else
@recipient = @project.client
end
end
What''s going wrong here???

That''s what I thought, and that''s basically what I said in my original post. However, I looked everywhere but couldn''t find any indication on how to cast to an integer. I know how to cast to a string (to_s), but yeah...> What is probably happening here is that you are comparing a string "2" > to an integer (2). > > "2" == 2 #=> false-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
