I have a large number of html files that I want my application to render  
and embed ruby into from active record.

The files are named as such:

02\_welcome\_intro.html.erb  
06\_explore\_it.html.erb  
50\_standard\_presentation.html.erb  
55\_mc\_IE.html.erb

I’m getting the following error when attempting to render any of these  
views:

“undefined method `view\_paths’ for 2:Fixnum”

I’ve tried using all the different forms of “render” and all return the  
same error. Apparently it doesn’t like having numbers in the name of the  
view file.

Anyway around this?

Maybe we need to see your view script 🙂 so we can find out the trouble  
key.

Found the problem. Ended up be a restful routes issue. Created a  
custom route and resolved the issue.

Thanks anyway,
