So I have the following: flash[:success] = 'Your payment has completed. Please contact ' + @order.seller.name + ' (mobile: ' + @order.seller.mobile_number + ', email: ' + @order.seller.email + ')' Strangely inside this method, I can't seem to do string interpolation and it prints '@order.seller.name'. So that is a strange issue. But the main thing that puzzles me is should I be replacing + with << here? I read somewhere the performance is better but I really hate seeing << in my code. It just seems ugly and raises my blood pressure for some reason. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
