Redirect to new action not working?

Rails
1

any idea what’s wrong here: agreement return either 0 or 1

def select
@imitem = Imitem.find(params[:id])

if [params[:agreement] == ‘True’]
redirect_to :action => ‘agreement’, :id => @imitem and return false
else
redirect_to :action => ‘options’, :id => @imitem and return
end
end

it always goes to agreement action no matter what …

This isn’t bash :slight_smile: [params[:agreement] == ‘True’] is an array
containing one element, this isn’t nil or false and so is always
handled as true by the if. Remove the outer square brackets and you
should be ok.

Well I removed those ie. its now (agreement value on database is
either 1 or 0)

if params[:agreement] == ‘True’
redirect_to :action => ‘agreement’, :id => @imitem and return
else
redirect_to :action => ‘options’, :id => @imitem and return
end
end

but now it goes to options action all the time

Is params[:agreement] supposed to be a boolean? If not what other
possible values are there?
Could you mean ‘true’?

Hi

agreement on database has value either 0 (zero) or 1 (one). Now I try
to check if that value is 1 (true) and then it should
take route (action) to agreement and if not then route (action) should
go to options.

I tested with all possible values like: True / true / 1 … but all
those fails…

is that whole statement then wrong somehow… I am still waiting good
book and its hard to find proper examples from the net.

if @imitem.agreement == true

For a good book I would check out ‘The Rails Way’ published by Addison
Wesley.

I have some examples on my blog: http://matthewcarriere.com

And feel free to email me with a posting topic you would like to see.
