How would i go about using a mapped resource in my model?
eg.
# routes file
map.resources :questions
# model
def after_create
notification = UserNotification.new(:user => current_user)
notification.body = ''You posted a new <a href="'' +
question_url(question.id) + ''">question</a>''
notification.save
end
comes up saying undefined method for question_url

They are available in controllers and views. I''d humbly suggest that the best way to solve this is to have the UserNotification have a reference to the question, and then use question_url in UserNotificationsController and/or it''s views. This would properly keep the M-VC business logic-ui separation. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
