Hi list,

I keep getting the following error:

NoMethodError in Admin#create\_survey

undefined method `assign\_variables\_from\_controller’ for  
#Survey:0xb7462244

contents of Admin#create\_survey is:

@template = Survey.find(params[‘survey’][‘id’])  
render :layout =\> false

I have no idea where this comes from, bug in Rails?

Your use of the variable @template is clashing with a Rails  
internal variable. Try using another variable name.
