Have this instance variables been set anywhere in your app? If not, you wont be able to access attributes anywhere.
I suggest to first find a record in the DB and set the results to and instance variable like: @var = User.find(params[:some_params]) and then you will be able to access attributes for that object @var.name + @var.lastname 2012/1/30 Rodrigo Ruiz <[email protected]> > Hi, I'd like to know why I can't, or how can I, access attributes like > that: > > class User < ActiveRecord::Base > def name > @first_name + @last_name > end > end > > first_name and last_name are user attributes in the database. > > Thanks in advance. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
