maybe I missed the details in some other post,
but I have no idea, what exactly you want.
please be more specific, otherwise nobody will be able
to help you.

I do not really understand, what you are doing here, but:

You are using “else if” without a condition several times,
beneath the fact that the correct ruby syntax is elsif

Then Ruby would interpret the following line:
@stage = params[:stage].to_i
as condition and the outcome of this is most likely not
what you would expect.

And all those "end’ show too, that the structure is a bit weird.

I think, what you want to do would need something like this:

def wizard
if params[:stage].nil?
…
elsif params[:stage].to_i == 1
…
elsif params[:stage].to_i == 2
…
else
…
end
render :template => ‘wizard\stage’+@next_stage.to_s
end

Hi Thorsten Müller
i got bugs:
NoMethodError in WizardController#wizard

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]

Please help me.

Thanks and Regards

If you see the above, you should seriously start thinking about giving
up Ruby and going back to Applesoft BASIC. And even that would be
insulting BASIC in a way.

render :template => ‘wizard\stage’+@next_stage.to_s
end

Why the double backslashes and where does that instance variable come
out of all of a sudden? ‘wizard/stage’+params[:stage]

I’m really sorry to say, but your code has more wrong to it than right.

You could also check out acts_as_wizard:

Well, if an application gives you an error, it usually wants to say
something. In this case it expected a string, and got a nil. You
didn’t include what line it choked on, but I guess it’s the render
one. It’s telling you that params[:stage] is nil, so you need to
handle that.

‘wizard/stage’+(params[:stage] || ‘’)

And please please please, do yourself a favor, read some books on
Rails first. There are some nice ones out there and most of them have
a nice introduction to basic programming principles. Your code is just
completely unmaintainable.
