#1

yesterday, i make a demo with Rails2.2.2.

#2

See: <http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/ReservedWords> -- the
"reported to cause trouble" section includes 'format'.

You might want to rename that attribute of your model.

HTH,

Thank you.

I know the 'format' cause trouble, it's a private method , cause
stop calling method_missing,
   I change 'format' to 'formater' or other form, it's be fine.

but why this is good :

#4

Did you mean: You got the error in the Model, but it was worked in the View?

Maybe you can try this in the Model:

self[:format] replace self.format

#5

Thank you.
I know the issue. sefl[:format] is good.
but i dont' understand why it reported the error : "Attempt to call
private method" in View page, when i called show action.

I know the column 'format' will be cause trouble. beacuse all of
instance variable has the private method named 'format', right ?

but why it is good as following :

#6

Same as the model
Change @release.format to @release[:format]
:slight_smile:
Cause format is a private method, so you can’t call it.
No matter it is in the model or in the view.
So, you can use model[:method] to grab the correct column.
Or, you can try to use: read_attribute(“format”) in the model :slight_smile:
