Help With partials

Rails
1

ok i’m having problems moving a piece of code into a partial

I have a line in a view:

<%= image_tag( createturing ) %>

moving to a partial _createturing.rhtml and changing the view to:

<%= render(:partial => "createturing") %>

gives errors:

ActionView::TemplateError (can’t convert nil into String) on line #1
of accounts/_createturing.rhtml:
1: <%= image_tag( createturing ) %>

what changes do i need to make when i move it into the partial?

btw: the function createturing is in a helper if that makes a
differance!

By default when looking at the partial createturing rails will set the
local variable createturing to the value of @createturing which would
seem to be nil.
You however don’t want to use the local variable createturing but the
method of the same name. You can force a method call by saying
createturing() instead of createturing

It’s because you’re trying to pass a local variable to a partial, and
that
won’t work. Change it to an instance variable or specify :locals => {
:variable_name => variable_name } in your partial.

i think the render line should be:
<%= render :partial => ‘createturing’ %> without the brackets~
