Thanks Peter!
I put the method in the application_helper.rb file:
----
def leading_zeros(number)
"%05d" % number
end
----
And then put the following like you said:
----
#{leading_zeros order.id} #{order.name}"
----
It's giving me this error when I refresh my view:
----
NoMethodError in Orders#index
Showing app/views/orders/index.html.erb where line #9 raised:
undefined method `leading_zeros' for "00009":String
----
Any ideas? Thanks again for all your help.
