Hi all, This may seem really basic, but it tripped me up for a while because I'd forgotten a basic Hobo tenet: *Always be aware of context*. I'd defined a tag that calls another custom tag as follows:
<def tag="plans" attrs="showspecialcontrols"> <my-table-plus:plans fields="plan_no, plan_type" showmycontrols=" &showspecialcontrols"> ... </def> But, for the longest time, the highlighted attribute call generated: undefined method `showspecialcontrols' for #<#<Class:... It took me a while to realize/remember that by including "plans" in my call to <my-table-plus:> I'd shifted the context for the attribute I'd passed in. Hobo was now looking for a *showspecialcontrols* method on a plan, which didn't exist. Unless someone can contribute an alternate solution, I couldn't see a way around this without assigning the *showspecialcontrols* attribute to an instance variable: <def tag="plans" attrs="showspecialcontrols"> <!-- We need an instance variable here otherwise context is confused within call to my-table-plus --> <% @show = showspecialcontrols %> <my-table-plus:plans fields="..." showmycontrols="&@show"> Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
