You have snipped the original.
I don't know whether has_permalink is happy with nil parameters, if so
then you could just do
def neighborhood_name
neighborhood.name if neighborhood
end
This will return nil if neighborhood is nil.
If you need a default name however then something like
def neighborhood_name
neighborhood ? neighborhood.name : 'default_name'
end
If Marnen reads this he will tell you (and probably me) in no
uncertain terms to read up on basic Ruby coding :)
