I took a little of everyones advice. I downloaded from source and
installed everything fresh. rails 2.2.2 ,ruby 1.8.6, etc... and I will
have you know my css prob is solved!! Yay!! Of course thats not the
end of my woes. no I have a new error to deal with. now i can't access
the admin area.
NoMethodError in Admin/users#index
Showing app/views/admin/users/index.html.erb where line #8 raised:
undefined method `f' for nil:NilClass
Extracted source (around line #8):
5: <% @results.each do |p| %>
6: <div class="<%= cycle('odd','even') %> search_row left">
7: <div><%= icon p, :small %></div>
8: <div><%= link_to h(p.f), p %></div>
9: <div><%= mail_to h(p.email), p.email %></div>
10: <div><%= link_to_remote "#{ p.is_active ? 'deactivate' :
'activate' }", {:url => formatted_admin_user_path(p, 'js'), :method
=> :put}, {:id => p.dom_id('link')} %></div>
11: </div>
But I'm pretty sure once I figure this out all will be fine. If I can
figure it out.
