how do i define and access custom function in model

rubyonrails-talk

i need to define a custom finction in model which is named as "count_remaked_users". when i try to access that function from view (< %=User.count_remaked_users%>) i'm getting "undefined method" error.

any clue for this?.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base   def self.count_remade_users   end end

My guess is that you are missing the "self" part of the method declaration, which tells ruby that this is a class method.

I see the problem has been solved, but just to point out that it is generally considered bad form to call a model method from a view, it is considered better to set up data in the controller and display it in the view.
