write a block method to print a list
def column (&block) if block_given? content_tag(:li, capture(self, &block)) else content_tag(:li, "") end end
and using it as
<%= data_list_for @leads, [" :10", "Age:30", "Contact:140", "Phone: 140", "Email:180", "Company:100", ""] do |l| %> <%= l.column { |c| link_to " ".html_safe, "leads/details/ #{c.object.id}", :class=>:plus, :remote=>true } %> <%= l.column { |c| c.object.age } %> <%= l.column { |c| c.object.contact.complete_name } %> <%= l.column { |c| c.object.contact.phones.blank? ? "-" : c.object.contact.phones.first.phone_number } %> <%= l.column { |c| c.object.contact.emails.blank? ? "-" : c.object.contact.emails.first.email } %> <%= l.column { |c| c.object.company.title } %> <%= l.column do |c| %> <%= options_menu do |m| %> <%= m.item link_to 'Show', lead_path(c.object) %> <%= m.item link_to 'Edit', edit_lead_path(c.object) %> <%= m.item link_to 'New Note', "leads/#{c.object.id}/notes/ new", :class=>"display-newxdoc", :id=>c.object.id %> <%= m.item link_to 'Create Opportunity', new_lead_opportunity_path(c.object) %> <% end %> <% end %> <% end %>
Every thing is working fine. But the only problem is that options_menu is generating twice. Means two option_menus are there. I traced out one menu is from l.column command because it has proper formating of column, other is generating by its on block in the view, How can i stop it for doing twice?
