Agile book lacks some basic information, perhaps I need to learn ruby as
I am lacking information - some basic things - especially debugging.
The following are stupid newbie questions and any portion of them
answered would be great.
- If I am viewing a page from app/views/clients/ and on this page, I
want to put a ‘link_to’ directive to say app/views/case_managers…
how do I do this? For example,
<% link_to client.case_manager_wholename, :action => case_managers/show
%>
takes me to /clients/case_managers/show.rhtml which is an error instead
of /case_managers/show.rhtml which is where I wanted to go,.
-
rdoc… I tried the other day…I somewhat forgot but I think I
tried something like ‘rdoc Application::Controller’ and it reported
couldn’t find the file and exited…where do I find information on how
to use ri and rdoc ?
-
type conversions and concatenation…where do I find information on
this?
-
Is the answer one of the Ruby books? Which one? Pragmatic Programming
with Ruby?
Thanks
Craig

This might help you…
Page 350 of Agile Web D. with Rails says suggests you might
want to try <%= link_to client.case_manager_wholename,
:controller=>case_managers
:action=>show
%>
Please let me know if this worked for you or not.
Thanks,

- type conversions and concatenation…where do I find information on

To convert, you an use @var.to_i (for Fixnum), .to_f (for Float), .to_s
(for string)… And to convert into a date, you can use :
@date Time.parse(str=@str_date)
And to concatene, you can use +.
I use a book, a GREAT book, “Agile Web D. with Rails” and few
sites… :
http://api.rubyonrails.com
http://railsmanual.org
and this one it’s great for your search:
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/lib_standard.html
Good Rails

thanks - it worked fine after I added
:id => client.case_manager_id
that was exactly the issue…I needed the :controller directive.
Thanks
