Error of undefined method

def index

@users= User.all
@pic= []

You would probably have fewer problems if you observed the Rails

naming conventions; e.g.

@pictures = # plural

@users.each do |user|

 @pictures << Picture.where(:phrase_id => :route , :culture_id

=>user.culture_id).first

end

@pictures.compact!

Now it’s obvious that the next line makes no sense:

     send_data @pictures.image, :type => 'image/png', :disposition

=> ‘inline’

An array of pictures doesn’t have an “image” attribute.

because i want to take a value “image” from Picture model what can i do … I am really stuck now…

thanks

  1. Remove the send_data line, it isn’t required. Yes, it did remove it.
  1. Can you check if there are any records in your pictures table? Right now it looks like it is returning nil.

Yes, It has 1 record in Picture table and 3 records in User Table

I think it might be a good idea for you to work through some Rails tutorials to understand the basics of Rails. The free-to-use-online tutorial railstutorial.org is good. It might seem that the tutorial does not lead to the application that you want to develop but if you work right through it you will learn a vast amount and will then be embarrassed to look back here at the questions you were asking :slight_smile:

Also take a good look at the Rails Guides. I mean a *good* look do not just skim through them. Again you will learn a lot and the time spent will be saved many times over.

Not sure why it errors out now.

Do you get the same error is it a different error this time?

this is my index

def index @user= Users.all @pictograph =

@user.each do |p|   
@pic= Picture.where(:phrase_id => :route , :culture_id => p.culturet_id).first

@pic.compact!
 end

end

and my view is

Oh, so you are trying to get the image url from the user’s index action?

If yes, that’s not correct.

You should instead have a different method name and should request for image url of only one specific user.

It would help in cleaning up the code and solve this issue faster, if you can tell me what exactly you are trying to do.

yes, i am trying to get image url from db

I have def show to get specific user

def show @user= User.find_by_id(params[:id])

end

I want take a value image from Picture table with specific user and display it on the screen. can u help me… thanks :X so much much…

Yes, It has 1 record in Picture table and 3 records in User Table

Can you paste what you have in your index method? You should not be getting this error because we have already defined @pic as an empty array.

def index

@users= User.all
@pic= []

@users.each do |p|   

@pic<< Picture.where(:phrase_id => :route , :culture_id => p.culture_id).first

end

@pic.compact!

send_data @pic.image, :type => 'image/png', :disposition => 'inline'

end

Oh yes… sorry about that. I assumed that you will find picture for every query.

You can try this instead:

def index

@users= User.all

@pic =

@users.each do |p|

@pic << Picture.where(:phrase_id => :route , :culture_id => p.culture_id).limit(1)

end

@pic.compact!

end

by calling compact! on the array, we will eliminate all nil object.

On another note, are you sure, this is what you want to do? If you have 100 users, it will fire 100 sql queries which is not good.

Yes i think i have that problem as well because if i remove "@users.each do |p| "

and then it will cause undefined method of culture_id… plus when i call @pic.compact! , it gives me

NoMethodError (You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array.

The error occurred while evaluating nil.compact!): app/controllers/patients_controller.rb:29:in `index’

what is mean? cuz i want to display picture on the browser too…

please help… thank you very much

Joanne

it does not work, it is complaining other error

NoMethodError (undefined method image' for [nil]:Array): app/controllers/patients_controller.rb:27:in block in index’ app/controllers/patients_controller.rb:25:in `each’

app/controllers/patients_controller.rb:25:in `index’

Your index action should be something like this:

def index

@users= User.all

@pic =

@users.each do |p|

@pic << Picture.where(:phrase_id => :route , :culture_id => p.culture_id).limit(1)

end

Ok, that’s clear now.

Do you use pastie (http://pastie.org/) or gist (https://gist.github.com/)?

If yes, can you paste following on any of them and reply with link?

No, I am not using that…

  1. So, you want to display an image of the culture associated with the user, right?

  2. How are you uploading pictures to your database?

Ok, some more questions:

  1. So, you want to display an image of the culture associated with the user, right?

yes

  1. How are you uploading pictures to your database?

right now, i just using the sqlite manager to upload the blob.

Getting pretty late here, heading to bed. We can work on a cleaner solution tomorrow or others on the forum can help.

For now, this quick and dirty solution should work:

In your view

<% @users.each do |user| %>

<%= user.name %> <%= image_tag url_for(:controller => "users", :action => "culture_image, :culture_id => user.culture_id, :phrase_id => ""), :width => "25px", :height => "25px"%> <% end %>

Note that I haven’t put in a value for :phrase_id in the url, please substitute appropriate value there as required.

In your controller

def index @user= User.all end

def culture_image

picture = Picture.where(:phrase_id => params[:phrase_id], :culture_id => params[:culture_id]).limit(1)

if picture

 send_data picture.image, :type => 'image/png', :disposition => 'inline'

else

 render :status => 404

end

end

Note that you may have to modify your routes to include the new method “culture_image”… something like this"

resources :users do

get :culture_image, :on => :collection

end

thanks you so much… Joanne

Is it working now?

If not post the error and we’ll see how to get it to a good shape.
