Session hash and fetch problem?

Rails
#1

Short version of the problem:

Why this works
session[:sub_menu].fetch(:stock)
and this don’t?
session[:sub_menu].fetch(“stock”)

thanks

Because :foo != ‘foo’

The fact that the params hash doesn’t care is an exception

Thanks Frederick.

I want to do something like:

<% session[:sub_menu].fetch(controller.controller_name) do |sub_menu|
-%>
<% sub_menu.each do |menu| -%>


  • <%= link_to “#{menu[:presentation_name]}”, :controller =>
    “#{menu[:controller]}”, :action => “#{menu[:action]}” %>

    • <% end -%>
    <% end -%>

    Where the main idea is to fetch the hash values for the key that has the
    same name of the controller.

    What do you suggest?

    tks again.

    It doesn’t matter whether you use symbols or strings for your session
    keys as long as you pick one and stick with it.

    Hey Frederick thank you very much…

    How was x-mas? (I hope you are not Jewish or some thing like that!)
    Have a happy new year…

    tks again.
