I''m struggleing in the early stages of learning RoR. I''m
playing
around with a simple blog format. I''m already stuck.
What I am trying to do is iterate over the titles of articles in my
database, and list them. The article table has rows id, link, title,
content. "Link" is actually what I would be using, incase I had a
title that I thought was too long to make into a link, I would put a
shorter version into the "link" row.
I imagine it must be something along the lines of :
<--
<ul>
<% for link in Article.link_columns %>
<li><%=h article.send(link.name) %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
--->
Of course, a: that doesn''t work, and b: that wouldn''t generate
clickable links, but it''s all I have at the moment.
Any suggestions?
