Both ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder#object() and ActiveRecord::Persistence#new_record?() exist in rails 3. Here is how "Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial" uses them:
<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %> <%= render 'some/partial', :object => f.object %> Then a local variable named 'object' is available in the partial and it is equal to @user (at least that is the way things appear to work). class User < ActiveRecordBase ... ... def some_action if new_record? #do something end end > and rails 3 seems angry about the > fields_for that defines person_form in Rails 2 You should post your code. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
