I''m having some trouble with styling my views.
Here is a particular snippet that I think illustrates well:
<p><%= @tour_request.booked_datetime ? "<strong>Confirmed
For:</strong>
<span
class="red">#{@tour_request.booked_datetime_string}</span>
":"<strong>Date and time requested:</strong>
#{@tour_request.daterequested} | #{@tour_request.preferredtime_string}
<strong>Alternative date and time requested:</strong>
#{@tour_request.altdaterequested} #{@tour_request.preferredtime_string}"
%></p>
That will prevent the page from loading, showing a custom error screen.
But this, will display fine:
<p><%= @tour_request.booked_datetime ? "<strong>Confirmed
For:</strong>
<strong>#{@tour_request.booked_datetime_string}</strong>
":"<strong>Date
and time requested:</strong> #{@tour_request.daterequested} |
#{@tour_request.preferredtime_string} <strong>Alternative date and time
requested:</strong> #{@tour_request.altdaterequested}
#{@tour_request.preferredtime_string}" %></p>
The only difference is on the first example I had <span
class="red">#{@tour_request.booked_datetime_string}</span>
and the
second I had
<strong>#{@tour_request.booked_datetime_string}</strong>
I know I could just do <span
class="red"><%@tour_request.booked_datetime_string %> but
this field won''t always be
displaying, so I need to find a way to make whichever that particular
tour has filled out showing, whether it''s booked_datetime_string,
tour_request.daterequested, preferredtime_string or altdaterequested
Would appreciate any help!

I think the first doublequote around "red" is terminating the string
in the first part of your ? : expresion. If it were me, I''d verbose
that out some:
<% if @tour_request.booked_datetime then %>
<p>
<span class="label">Confirmed For:</span>
<%= @tour_request.booked_datetime %>
</p>
<% else %>
<p>
<span class="label">Date and time requested:</span>
<%= @tour_request.daterequested %>
</p>
<% end %>
That way you''re not so much mixing the markup & the ruby, which
always winds up confusing me.
Also--having .booked_datetime and .booked_datetime_string methods seems
odd--consider writing a format_date helper to use to make dates pretty if you
need to get fancy.
HTH,
