Hi,

statement in it.

<% if flash[:notice].empty? then puts flash[:message]%>

<%= yield %>

whats wrong with the if statement here…?

Thanks in advance,

puts won’t work in rhtml. You can try this:
<%= flash[:message] if flash[:notice].empty? %>

think i read somewhere that “puts” should not be used in templates.

use

<%= flash[:message] if flash[:notice].empty? %>

You need to use <%= %> to get output from ERb and (as others have
said) you don’t use puts in templates.

You’re Welcome,
