please help me with my code:
im calling a helper, which has to return different links.
--list.rhtml
...
<% for message in @messages %>
<tr>
<td><%= message.author.send(''name'') %></td>
<td><%=
message.send(''date'').strftime("%d.%m.%y/%H.%M.%S")
%></td>
<td><%= message.send(''subject'') %></td>
<td><%= test(3,message) %></td> #THE PROBLEM
<tr>
<% end %>
...
--application_helper.rb
def test(level,message)
if level == 2
link_to "read", :action => "show", :id =>
message.send(''id'')
elsif level == 3
link_to "read", :action => "show", :id =>
message.send(''id'') #PROBLEM
1
link_to "edit", :action => "edit", :id =>
message.send(''id'') #PROBLEM
2
else
end
end
the problem is, when i call the test helper, with the param level 3, i
become only one link, the last one and not both of them.

The string it''s returning is the value of the last expression evaluated -- that is, the edit link_to. What you want to do is mush it all up into a single expression with a +, and everything will work. Oh, and the empty else clause will cause grown men to weep. - Matt -- I''m not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else''s.
Hi vincent,
don''t know if this is the proper way to do things (I''m using
partials most
often) but you might try (untested):
def test(level, message)
case level
when 2
return read_link(message)
when 3
html = read_link(message)
html += ''<br/>''
html += link_to ''edit'', :action =>
''edit'', :id => message
return html
end # case
end # def test
def read_link(message)
link_to ''read'', :action => ''show'', :id
=> message # message should send id
without the explicit call
end
ruby returns the result of the last executed line of code. This is why only
one link is returned..
Cheers
Jan

That''s why you get only the last line and not both the lines. So your code may be modified as --list.rhtml <% for message in <at> messages %> <tr> <td><%= message.author.send(''name'') %></td> <td><%= message.send(''date'').strftime("%d.%m.%y/%H.%M.%S") %></td> <td><%= message.send(''subject'') %></td> <% if somecondition ==3 %> <td><%= test(3,message) %></td> <td><%= test(4,message) %></td> <%end%> <tr> <% end %> --application_helper.rb def test(level,message) if level == 2 link_to "read", :action => "show", :id => message.send(''id'') elsif level == 3 link_to "read", :action => "show", :id => message.send(''id'') elsif level == 4 link_to "edit", :action => "edit", :id => message.send(''id'') end end HTH, Ashutosh
