I’ve just tried to follow the tutorial on the wiki, but i’m running  
into a problem. On my “view” page, I’m receiving this error:

undefined method `formatted\_photo\_path’

… around this line:

\<%= image\_tag formatted\_photo\_path(@candidate, :jpg) %\>

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I don’t know this tutorial, so a link would help.

But this kind of error normaly happens, if your  
routing isn’t setup correctly.

You should have something like  
map.resource :formatted\_photi

in your config/routes.rb

rake routes

on the command line gives you a list of routes  
defined in your project

Ok thanks. Will check the routes later on today.

BTW, the tutorial I was talking about is here:

Doens’t mention modifying my routes to get the plugin working.

Anyone who has used fleximage seen this before?

The problem is that the tutorial doesn’t mention you need to change  
the name of that method as appropriate. In your case it’s likely to be  
formatted\_candidate\_path, not formatted\_photo\_path.
