How do i define and access custom function in model

Rails
1

i need to define a custom finction in model which is named as
“count_remaked_users”.
when i try to access that function from view (<
%=User.count_remaked_users%>) i’m getting “undefined method” error.

any clue for this?.

2

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.count_remade_users
end
end

My guess is that you are missing the “self” part of the method
declaration, which tells ruby that this is a class method.

I see the problem has been solved, but just to point out that it is
generally considered bad form to call a model method from a view, it
is considered better to set up data in the controller and display it
in the view.
