I’m newbie. Please, help. I suppose it’s easy 🙂  
I have admin controller which is working ok and with usual controller I  
have trouble.  
This is app/controllers/team\_controller.rb

* * *

class TeamController \< ApplicationController  
def show  
@team = Team.find(params[:id])  
end  
end

* * *

And in app/controllers/admin/teams\_controller.rb “Show” function is  
absolutely same. Then, app/views/admin/teams/show.rhtml looks like  
\<% for column in Team.content\_columns %\>

\<% if column.human\_name != "Image" %\> **\<%= column.human\_name %\>:** \<%=h @team.send(column.name) %\> \<% else %\> \<%= image\_tag url\_for\_file\_column :"team", :"image" %\> \<% end %\>

\<% end %\> But when I try to use this code in app/views/team/show.rhtml I get an error: " Showing app/views/team/show.rhtml where line #6 raised: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.split"
