Hi there,
How can I access and output the contents of the following array?
<%= User.find(:all, :conditions => { ...whatever_conditions... }) %>
When I try by simply adding a .join(", ") to the array, like so...
<%= User.find(:all, :conditions => { ...whatever_conditions...
}).join(", ") %>
...then I get a series of # signs: #, #, #
How come?
How can I access and display any attribute of "user"?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Tom

Depending on what your trying to do, the debug helper is pretty good for inspecting stuff.

Well, basically, I''d simply like to print some attribute (i.e. the nicknames) of all of the users in this array, i.e. separated by commas, like so: nickname1, nickname2, nickname3, ... Can you tell me what the correct code for that would be? Sorry, I haven''t come across the "debug helper" yet, how/where do I basically use that?

For what your''re doing, something like users.collect(&:name).join('', '') will do the trick (assuming users is an array of users and name is the attribute you care about) If you were outputting more stuff (eg a table row for each user, typically you''d use a partial.

In order to have access to all of the attributes, I would think of it
this way:
<% User.find(:all, :conditions => { ...whatever_conditions... }) .each
do |user| %>
<%= user.nickname %>, <%= user.another_attribute %>
<% end %>
~or~
set an instance variable in the controller
def index
@users = User.find(:all, :conditions =>
{ ...whatever_conditions... })
end
then in the view (index.html.erb)
<% @users .each do |user| %>
<%= user.nickname %>, <%= user.another_attribute %>
<% end %>
