Hello - am still very new and need any help available
I have a user model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :calls
has_many :visits
has_many :calls_visited,
:through => :visits,
:source => :call
has_many:calls do
def recent
find :all, :order => ''id DESC'', :limit => 5
end
end
end
and I have a view to display the calls for a particular user using
a partial
The view is
<div id="top_full">
<h2>My Dashboard - <%= @current_user.login.capitalize
%></h2>
</div>
<div id="c_left">
<div id="recentCalls">
<% if @current_user.calls.blank? %>
<h3>You have no calls</h3>
<ul>
<li><%= link_to ''Add a call to get started!'', {
:controller =>
"calls", :action => "new" } %></li>
</ul>
<% else %>
<h3>My Recent Calls</h3>
<%= render :partial => ''user/
recentCalls'', :collection => @current_user.calls.recent %>
</ul>
<% end %>
</div>
<div id="recentVisits">
<% if @current_user.visits.blank? %>
<h3>You have no visits</h3>
<ul>
<li><%= link_to ''Add a visit to get started!'',
{ :controller =>
"visits", :action => "new" } %></li>
</ul>
<% else %>
<h3>My Recent Visits</h3>
<ul>
<% @current_user.visits.each do |c| %>
<li><%= link_to c.name, {:controller =>
''visits'', :action =>
''show'', :id => c.id} -%> - <em><%= c.date
%></em></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
<div id="c_right">
<%= render :partial => ''dashActions'' %>
</div>
and the partial that doesn''t work is the user/recentCalls partial
<li>
<h5><%= call.created_at.to_formatted_s(:long) %></h5>
<h4><%= call.name %></h4>
</li>
when the view evaluates <% if@current_user.calls.blank? %> it goes
through to the
<%= render :partial => ''user/recentCalls'', :collection
=>
@current_user.calls.recent %>
and throws an error NameError in User#dashboard
Showing user/_recentCalls.rhtml where line #3 raised:
undefined local variable or method `call'' for #<ActionView::Base:
0x2658158>
Extracted source (around line #3):
1: <li>
2:
3: <h5><%= call.created_at.to_formatted_s(:long) %></h5>
4: <h4><%= call.name %></h4>
5: </li>
Trace of template inclusion: /user/dashboard.rhtm
Any ideas on why it doesn''t get the call? I''ve tried
current_user.call.created_at..... and @current_user and @call et. .
Anyway any help will be appreciated

render creates a local variable for the object(s) passed to it based on the filename of the partial. So in ''user/_recentCalls'', passing the collection would result in a local variable named ''recentCall''.

I looked that up and thanks for the reply but I still don''t understand what I should write in my render code to call the partial and then how my _recentCalls partial should be referenced in the partial template? any suggestions will be appreciated!!

You could name your partial just "call" or... At the start of it do: <% call = recentCall %> I would reccomend doing it the first way. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
