I was wondering if someone could help me with an error i am getting undefined local variable or method `first'' for KeyWord:Class i thought i had the method declared in my key_word.rb model i have this: def self.get_in_wet_list(status) wet_list = @message.find(first, :conditions => "name ''wet_list'' ") wet_list.split('','').include?(status) end the code in the view that calls it is this: <td><%= site.name %></td> 9: <td> 10: <%= site.sensor.page_value %> 11: <img src="<%= fetch_circle_for(site.sensor.page_value)%>" %> 12: </td> 13: don''t know what i am missing or declaring wrong here. thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

ok, that got me further, apparently that was not the only thing wrong. i got this: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occured while evaluating nil.find the table `key_words` looks like this `id` int(11) , `name` varchar(20) , `message` varchar(30) what i am trying to do in the key_word.rb model is get the value of `message` when the `name` = ''wet_list'' . There should only be one ( why i tried first ) i think i am confused about how to set this as a value. thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
