Rails - Aug 2006 - Having Problem w/ Agile Web Development book

I get this error ...

 NoMethodError in StoreController#index
undefined method `salable_items'' for Product:Class

and here is my store_controller.rb ...

class StoreController < ApplicationController

  def index
	  @products = Product.salable_items
  end

  def self.salable_items
	find(:all, :conditions => "date_available <= now()", :order
=>
"date_available desc")
  end
end


What am I doing wrong?

Define self.salable_items in your Product class, not your  
StoreController class.

salable_items are defined in the StoreController class, not in the 
Product class.

actually, its not.

You are trying to find all the salable products in your store.  You want 
that code to go into the Product class.  Then you will call

@products = Product.salable_items to get the list of products in the 
controller.

We say the same things with different words. What I meant was that in 
the OP''s code, salable_items was defined in StoreController, when _HE_ 
should have put it in Product instead.
