Hi QUESTION --- I want to access these methods from views directly. When I do <%= debug navbar.all_modules %> it fails. It cannot find the navbar.
This will work fine only if you have navbar as an object of your Navbar model, confirm whether you have done the same. As I observe that your method in model does not have anything related to specific object of the class, you can have it as a class method by defining it as self.all_modules. This can be directly used by Navbar.all_modules Note: One should not use model methods in views directly. Use controller objects or helpers for the same. - Nayak On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 10:55 AM, Narendra sisodiya < [email protected]> wrote: > can you tell me what you did exactly ? > > > On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 9:43 AM, Ritvvij <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> Did what you said.. >> Now getting error --- "undefined local variable or method `navbar' for >> #<ActionView::Base:0x4dfce0c>" >> >> On Jun 15, 10:54 pm, Narendra sisodiya <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > For accessing model method from view , you can define self methods in >> model >> > and than directly access by ModelName.methodName >> > >> > For example >> > >> > class Navbar < ActiveRecord::Base >> > def self.all_modules >> > Ur stuff >> > end >> > >> > end >> > >> > in view >> > <% Navbar.all_modules %> >> > >> > ~ >> > N A R E N >> > >> > On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 9:02 AM, Ritvvij <[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> > > Hi >> > > I have a model called navbar.
