This is getting perhaps a little too complex for my mind to handle.
What I''m trying to accomplish is to generate a list of of hosts which
are clickable links from my related Person model.
Person # return an array with links
def hostlist_linked
if self.host == nil then
results = []
else
results = self.host.sort {|a,b| a <=> b }.collect { |host|
"link_to " + Setting[:base_url] + "/hosts/" + host + ",
" + host + "<br>" }
end
return results
end
and my view code has this...
<%= (@person.hostlist_linked.each do |host| host; end).to_s.html_safe %>
but that doesn''t actually give me links and just outputs the URL as
text and the link_to doesn''t actually function.
Is this possible?

Much easier just to put the urls in the collection then do the link_to in the loop, something like <% @person.hostlist_linked.each do |host| %> <%= link_to host %> <% end %> Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I thought I posted a follow up but sometimes this stupid Apple Mail sends it to myself instead (when I reply to the list).
