I have the following code in a layout: Posted <%=time_ago_in_words post.created_at %> ago <% if post.has_tag != nil %> in the <%= post.get_first_tag.name %> category <% end %> And the following code in the post model which is inheriting form ActiveRecord::Base
def has_tag !self.tags.empty? end def get_first_tag self.tags[0] end Tags is also inherited from ActiveRecord::Base and Post 'has_many' Tags Firstly: Is this the best way of checking if the post object has at least 1 associate tag attribute. Secondly: Should I be putting this logic into a helper method? Thirdly: Why doesn't the following work (it returns a # where the tags should be): in the <%= post.tags.to_sentence %> category, I guess its because tags aren't actually stored as an array attribute, but i don't really know. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
