tag ‘kids:kid\_sport\_list’ do |tag|  
kid = tag.locals.kid  
kid.sports.each do |sport|  
%{#{sport.name})  
end  
end

For some reason this outputs a “#” for each sport in kid.sports instead  
of the name… Would anyone know why?

That’s just a result of me typing wrong on this forum, not causing the  
problem. Its correct in my code.

Also, each just iterates over the collection and then returns the  
original collection. You’ll want to use map/collect or inject instead.

tag ‘kids:kid\_sport\_list’ do |tag|  
kid = tag.locals.kid  
kid.sports.map {|s| s.name.to\_s }.join(", ")  
end

tag ‘kids:kid\_sport\_list’ do |tag|  
kid = tag.locals.kid  
result = []  
kid.sports.each do |sport|  
result \<\< sport.name  
end  
result.join(’ ')  
end
