Hi I made a simple example that is not the original but is giving me the
same issue…
I create a method on my controller… and make it so I cant sent him data
to work with and return me the results…
but I keep getting that is an underfined method…! ;-(
error:
ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `paco’ for
#<#Class:0x2b1dcace86d8:0x2b1dcafabc80>) on line #10 of
app/views/rosteritems/_amigos.rhtml:
7:
8:
9: <% grupo.each do |amigo| %>
10: lolo <%= paco(amigo.jid) %>
11: <%= amigo.jid %>
12: <% end %>
13:
the controller method paco:
def paco(msg)
end
obviosly this is simple as it gets for the example…
I don’t know why is saying that paco is undefined!
thanks.

Controller methods are not available in views. Put the def paco method
in the roster_items_helper.rb helper and it will be available in the
view.

Hi Balara, I did that and still no luck… I am with you but
unfortunately
is not working. 
the only thing different I am doing is calling it from a _file (a
partial…)
any idea?

What did you actually put in roster_items_helper.rb (this assumes that
either the controller in question is the roster_items one or you’ve
got helper :all in application.rb)

Hi Fred
to keep it simple and test, I am doing someting simple
from the view partial I am calling the methond like:
paco(myvariable)
and in the method I got something like:
def paco(msg)
end
this is just to see if it sees it…
but it says paco does not exists.
and yes I did try the method to do something just in case rails need
that
but same result I even try to put it on the application helper file.
Thanks

Looking back at your original code, it should have been
rosteritems_helper.rb not roster_items_helper.rb - sorry about that. But
putting it in application_helper.rb like I suggested above should work
just fine, also.

Okay, in case I’ve misunderstood your controller layout, put it in the
Application Helper, application_helper.rb. Absent other code, that file
should look like this:
Methods added to this helper will be available to all templates in the
application.
module ApplicationHelper
def paco(msg)
end
end
If you do that you will be able to call <%= paco(x) %> from your view.
Defining paco in your controller, it will never be available in your
view.

is odd very odd and is driving me insane.
That is very odd - any method defined in application_helper.rb should be
available in any view. Are you certain that you are still getting the
same “undefined method `paco’ for” error message?
Your next steps in debugging are to remove the paco call in your view
and make sure that the view itself without it is working correctly in
all other respects.

yes I know… I done this before but with out passing a variable to the
method…
here is the method:
Methods added to this helper will be available to all templates in the
application.
module ApplicationHelper
def paco(lo)
example = lo
end
end
this is the error:
actionView::TemplateError (undefined method `paco’ for
#<#Class:0x2ad1f17d71f0:0x2ad1f17e5bb0>) on line #9 of
app/views/rosteritems/_amigos.rhtml:
6:
7:
8: <% grupo.each do |amigo| %>
9: <%= paco(amigo.jid) %> |
10: <%= amigo.jid %> |
11: <% end %>
12:
see…
this code where I add paco(amigo.jid)
is been called by an ajax method. just in case… here it is.
def jidamigos
@authreg_in = session[:authreg]
@name = Authreg.find_by_id(@authreg_in)
name2 = (@name.username + “@” + @name.realm)
@amigos = Rosteritems.find( :all, :conditions => {
:“collection-owner” => “#{name2}” })
render :partial => ‘amigos’
end
it calles the partial amigos so _amigos is getting in… all this works…
and it shows the list just right… is only when I add to the view the
call to the “paco” method to pass it the ID of the user so it can check
and return if he is online or not and also put it on the view.
Thanks

Rek,
Try this
class MyController < ApplicationController
helper_method :paco
end
Look at the corresponding API documentation for helper_method for more
information.

Hi, thanks for all the help… but Still can’t get this to work…
I have done 1000 of methods, and all this is a big application and all
the methods works… the only difference is that this is the first time I
have to pass it a variable and receive back a value.
I am going nuts, I have check books and online docs… what I am doing is
correct but is not working.
the only thing different like I say before is that all this starts with
a autoupdate ajax call, that calls a method and a partial the partial is
the one that calls this method that does not work…
is there a bug with this?
Well, I’m stuck then. Based on everything you’ve posted and say you have
done, it should have worked at least three times. I sure don’t like
giving up - I’m open to plugging your code into a test app and seeing
what happens if you want to send it to me.

Fire is over!!! hehe turns out it was mongrel and apache… I just needed
to “restart” this two…
it came to me after I though wait a second I am caching with apache…
:-/
it sucks that everytime I change the code I need to restart this two is
there anyway to bypass this?
I am sure others new to rails will have this problem sooner or late when
adding something to a similar setup
THANKS to everyone that help, we all were right…

Kill me. Kill me now.
You could do your development using a local server that’s suitably
speedy and doesn’t need to be restarted, like Webrick.
