Rails - Dec 2006 - Is the equality failing or is something else going on?

I''m trying to prototype, but I''m running into an error after
modifying
the scaffolding slightly.

        if(column.name == ''content'')
            page.send(column.name)
        else
            render_template ''rhtml'', page.send(column.name)
        end

I have a datetime field and I''m getting this error "can''t
convert Time
into String" and the render_template line is causing the problem.  The
''content'' column isn''t a datetime field.  So the if
statement is
failing.

Another question, I''m trying to pretty this up using an
''unless''
statement but I can''t seem to figure it out

<%= page.send unless column.name ==''content''
render_template ''rhtml'',
page.send(column.name) %> doesn''t seem to work either.  Rails spits
out
a problem with a missing '')'' after
''render_template''.  Any ideas?

It looks like you''re using the old-style render_template... not sure  
if that''s causing difficulty or not.  Try this:

render :template => "path/to/template"

You could try this too, although I''m not certain I''m thinking
the
same thing you''re thinking:

render :template => "path/to/#{column.name}", :locals => {:value
=>
page.send(column.name)}

Then, in each of your #{column.name}.rhtml files, you will have a  
local variable called ''value'' which contains the value of the
relevant column.

It looks like you''re trying to do an unless / else statement on one  
line, so you''ll need a ''then'' and an
''else''.  You''ll also need to
clean up the code a little, as it seems you''re not actually
''send''ing
anything to ''page''... actually, I''m not sure about
that, but the Ruby
syntax isn''t right anyway, so maybe that''s why the parser in
my head
won''t work :)

<%= unless column.name ==''content'' then
render_template(''rhtml'',
page.send(column.name)) else page.send(column.name) end %>
