Hi everyone, I followed the railcast from Ryan at http://railscasts.com/episodes/117-semi-static-pages and works. But what I would like to do is on my general layouts have the permalink to be generated this is where i get confused with the tutorial ruby on rails http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/ My scaffold is called pages. I though we could fetch the resource by doing has follow <%= render @pages %> But i am getting and error ArgumentError in Static_pages#home Showing /home/jean/rail/wyw/app/views/layouts/_footer.html.erb where line #6 raised: 'nil' is not an ActiveModel-compatible object that returns a valid partial path. Extracted source (around line #6): 3: Copyright Where you Where 2012 4: </small> 5: 6: <%= render @pages %> 7: <nav> 8: <ul> 9: <li><%= link_to "About", '#' %></li> Trace of template inclusion: app/views/layouts/application.html.erb Rails.root: /home/jean/rail/wyw Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace Then the tutorial say i have to add a _page.html.erb which i added into the folder of pages, but render@pages doesnt see it. Not sure what to do!! Thanks

So to me this should be the string About Us and placing has html. Did i miss something??? I do know that the page.name = "About Us" But why not just displaying it has a html string. What step did i confused.

Have a look at the Rails Guide on Layouts and Rendering. Section 2 describes how to use render, but read and understand the rest of it. I forget whether you are a beginner. If so then work right through some tutorials such as railstutorial.org to understand the basics of Rails, also look at the other Rails Guides. Colin

How are you getting on with the tutorials. Colin

I have read and try several tutorial in the last 2 weeks. But this is what I am trying to do. I have a create a file Static_Pages/homes which his just a static pages. It has the following structure <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title><%= full_title(yield(:title)) %></title> <%= content_for(full_meta_description(yield(:meta_description))).html_safe %> <%= full_meta_keyword(yield(:meta_keyword)) %> <%= full_meta_author(yield(:meta_author)) %> <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all" %> <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %> <%= render 'layouts/shim' %> </head> <body> <%= render 'layouts/header' %> <div class="container"> <%= yield %> </div> <%= render 'layouts/footer' %> </body> </html> _footer.html would then have page links to my resources pages which contains static links such About Us, Company News, etc... Based on this tutorial http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/user-microp... section 10.22 you must use render to allow to insert a file which you then create which can be use if there is an association. However there is no association, About Us and Company News aren't related to a user or somesort. Any solution that ruby can have if i dont have a model association between those two field?

Make sure you understand absolutely every line of code. Colin

Using example 10.22 it says to insert a micropost into a user field you must do has follow <%= render @resources %> into the location where you want the micropost to appear or the content You then create a file called _micropost.html.erb in the folder micropost/_micropost.html.erb And voila, to me this is how i see it, I do see that you might have to define in the controller users @micropost.user to allow the association to works. But in my program this particular model doesn't have an association. Is there something I miss, does Rails allow a way to go around this or no. Cause if no, then I must change language

But it still his <%= render @microposts %> then you must create a file with all the information that you want to show in the folder microposts/_microposts.html.erb Once this is done then you need to tell in the User controllers def show @user = User.find(params[:id]) @microposts = @user.microposts.paginate(page: params[:page]) end But what if my model doesn't have a relation between the two! Then i can't use it?

Also the other advise I gave to study the rails guide on rendering would do that. There really is no shortcut, you need to learn stuff. The best way to start is by carrying on through the tutorial and studying the rails guides. Colin

Hmm i see my issues, i installed the rspec not through my gemfile but through a command line gem install rspec. Would this be the issue

What i am doing wrong??
So I am at chapter 8, and everything seem to be working except that once
loggin I am apparently not login but do see some of the information such
as show correct user.
Here what I have
app/controllers/customers.rb
class CustomersController < ApplicationController
def show
@customer = Customer.find(params[:id])
end
def create
@customer = Customer.new(params[:customer])
if @customer.save
sign_in @customer
flash[:success] = "Welcome to Where you Where"
redirect_to @customer
# Handle a successful save.
else
render 'new'
end
end
def new
@customer = Customer.new
end
def edit
@customer = Customer.find(params[:id])
end
def update
if @customer.update_attributes(params[:customer])
flash[:success] = "Profile updated"
sign_in @customer
redirect_to @customer
else
render 'edit'
end
end
private
def signed_in_customer
redirect_to signin_path, notice: "Please sign in." unless
signed_in?
end
def correct_customer
@customer = Customer.find(params[:id])
redirect_to(root_path) unless current_customer?(@customer)
end
end
I have change the name of the resource from user to customer for trying
different then the person
this is my session help found in the folder
app/helpers/session.rb
module SessionsHelper
def sign_in(customer)
cookies.permanent[:remember_token] = customer.remember_token
self.current_customer= customer
end
def current_customer=(customer)
@current_customer = customer
end
def current_customer?(customer)
customer == current_customer
end
def current_customer
@current_customer ||=
Customer.find_by_remember_token(cookies[:remember_token])
end
def sign_in(customer)
cookies.permanent[:remember_token] = customer.remember_token
self.current_customer = customer
end
def signed_in?
!current_customer.nil?
end
def sign_out
cookies.delete(:remember_token)
self.current_customer = nil
end
end
Here his my header just in case i made a small mistake
<header class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<nav>
<ul class="nav pull-right">
<li><%= link_to "Home", root_path %></li>
<% if signed_in? %>
<li><%= link_to "Customers", '#' %></li>
<li id="fat-menu" class="dropdown">
<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle"
data-toggle="dropdown">
Account <b class="caret"></b>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><%= link_to "Profile", current_customer %></li>
<li><%= link_to "Settings", '#' %></li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>
<%= link_to "Sign out", signout_path, method: "delete"
%>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<% else %>
<li><%= link_to "Sign in", signin_path %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
</header>
Again i only see sign and home as link has i am assuming something his
wrong with my sign process
