I have a trivial question:
if i have defined something in my controller, like
def calendar
my_time = Time.now
end
how do I use that variable in my view?
I tried <%= my_time %>
But that simply returns an error.
Thanks

Hello Pierre You could either use an instance variable like this: @my_time = Time.now Then in your view access it with: <%= @my_view %> Or use the decent_exposure gem which I recommend since this lets you access your variables without exposing instance variables in the view context. 2013/1/19 Pierre-Andre M. <lists-fsXkhYbjdPsEEoCn2XhGlw@public.gmane.org>> I have a trivial question: > > if i have defined something in my controller, like > > def calendar > my_time = Time.now > > end > > how do I use that variable in my view? > > I tried <%= my_time %> > > But that simply returns an error. > > Thanks > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rubyonrails-talk+unsubscribe-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

helper_method :calendar Is what you want.

It''s a good gem but it''s a bit heavy handed since it (nicely) provides and, iirc, wraps helper_method.

Make sure that any tutorial you use is for rails 3 and that you install the correct version of rails for the tutorial.
