anyone pls help me?

the error is

SyntaxError in Pages#index

Showing pages/index.html.erb where line #4 raised:

compile error
C:/rails/railscoder/app/views/pages/index.html.erb:4: dynamic constant
assignment
_erbout.concat “\t”; @pages.each do |Page| ; _erbout.concat “\n”
^

Extracted source (around line #4):

1:

All Pages

    4: <% @pages.each do |Page| %>
    5:

  • 6: <%= Page.permalink %> :<%= Page.title s%>

Still the same error…
May I know, Can the extension of View file be .html.erb ???
I heard that it should be .rhtml. But in my case rails auto generated
it
with extension .html.erb

whn u use scaffold rails auto generate the view files with the extension
.html.erb
it can be either .rhtml or html.erb

the problem is with the variable that ur using :frowning:
u can’t use Page bcz itz a key word
for ex request,Page,response … (these are the key words so u cant
use
them)

change ur variable name to page or some thing else

Controller

class PagesController < ApplicationController

def index
@pages = Page.find (:all)
end
end

View

All Pages

    <% @pages.each do |Page| %>
  • <%= Page.title %>
    • <% end %>

I donno why the View is named index.html.erb (instead of index.rhtml)

Thanks
