When used in this context, content_tag returns a string with
corresponding fragment of html. Your innermost calls to content_tag
aren't doing anything with that result whereas you probably want to be
concatenating them.
Thanks both!! So the code snippet below now works correctly.... Is there
a more typical way of doing what I am doing or would you consider this
idiomatic rails?
-- PIto
def user_navigation_helper
content_tag(:div, :class =>"banner_right") do
content_tag(:ul, :class => "wat-cf") do
if current_user()
content_tag(:li) { current_user.email } +
content_tag(:li) { link_to("Edit profile",
edit_user_path(:current)) } +
content_tag(:li) { link_to("Logout", logout_path) }
else
content_tag(:li) { link_to("Login", login_path) } +
content_tag(:li) { link_to("Register", new_user_path) }
end
end
end
end
