Hi Dhruva, I tried this and get: No method error You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.weekday
I would also like to point out that in my def show I have the following: @bus_time = BusTime.find(:first, :order => "weekday", :conditions => ["time > ?", Time.now]) This helps me to get all the next available times on that day, can you see what I am trying to do, I am trying to get the latest times available for a bus on a particular day because sunday's times are different please could you help thanks for the very quick reply Dhruva Sagar wrote: > > I can give you an example, you would have to improvise on the same > according > to your needs. > > @bus_times = BusTime.find(:all, :conditions => ['weekday = > ?', Date::DAYNAMES[Date.today.wday]]) > > The above would give you all the bus_time records where weekday equals > todays day... > Hope it helps. > > Thanks & Regards, > Dhruva Sagar. > > > > > On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 3:01 PM, Terry6004 <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> Hi all, I am a newbie and just recently started to create apps with ruby >> on >> rails so please go easy on me :) >> >> I have an app which has a database in mysql which is called bus_times and >> consists of 3 columns which are: id, time and weekday.
