def index
@albums=Album.find(:all)
@cart=find_cart
end
since find_cart is also used by another controller, I decided to move
it from to the application_helper.rb file too reduce redundancy.
Rails is throwing an error saying that there is no method find_cart.
Any insight?
You'll want to put the shared method in app/controllers/application.rb instead. application_helper.rb is for shared code you use in views, not controllers.
def index
@albums=Album.find(:all)
@cart=find_cart
end
def add_to_cart
itemType=params[:itemType]
productId=(params[:id]) #parameter passed in from "add to cart" submission, it's either 1 or 2 in this case
if itemType=='album'
product_temp=Album.find(productId)
dest='/inventory'
end
if itemType=='dvd'
product_temp=Dvd.find(productId)
dest='/inventory/dvd'
end
product=Product.new(itemType,product_temp.title,product_temp.price)
@cart=find_cart
@cart.add_product(product) #add the album to the cart in the sessions
redirect_to dest
end
def check_out
@cart=find_cart
redirect_to ‘/inventory/checkOut’
end
def review
@cart=find_cart #for shopping car display in the sidebar
@title=(params[:title])
@itemType=(params[:itemType])
if @itemType=='album' #must be a better way to reduce the amount of redundant code
@album=Album.find_by_title(@title)
@review=Review.new
@reviews=@album.reviews #Review.find(:all, :conditions => ["album = ?", @title])
end
if @itemType=='dvd'
@dvd=Dvd.find_by_title(@title)
@review=Review.new
@reviews=@dvd.reviews #Review.find(:all, :conditions => ["album = ?", @title])
end
end
def dvd
@cart=find_cart
@dvds=Dvd.find(:all)
end
end
The method is “check_out”…i had it in my application.rb file originally, tried it in this one and still no change…
