I get this error …

NoMethodError in StoreController#index
undefined method `salable_items’ for Product:Class

and here is my store_controller.rb …

class StoreController < ApplicationController

def index
@products = Product.salable_items
end

def self.salable_items
find(:all, :conditions => “date_available <= now()”, :order =>
“date_available desc”)
end
end

What am I doing wrong?

Define self.salable_items in your Product class, not your
StoreController class.

salable_items are defined in the StoreController class, not in the
Product class.

controller.

We say the same things with different words. What I meant was that in
the OP’s code, salable_items was defined in StoreController, when HE
should have put it in Product instead.

actually, its not.

You are trying to find all the salable products in your store. You want
that code to go into the Product class. Then you will call

@products = Product.salable_items to get the list of products in the
controller.
