Can anyone help me?

I have a problem that when I click on the search button I get the following error message:

ActionView::MissingTemplate in Searches#show

Showing C:/finalproject/app/views/searches/show.html.erb where line #3 raised:

Missing partial games/game with {:handlers=\>[:erb, :builder, :coffee], :formats=\>[:html], :locale=\>[:en, :en]}. Searched in: &nbsp;&nbsp;\* "C:/finalproject/app/views" &nbsp;&nbsp;\* "C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/kaminari-0.13.0/app/views"

I have the following in my show.html.erb:

\<h2\>Search\</h2\>

\<%= render :partial =\> @search.games%\>

Any ideas?

Thanks R.Patrick

What do you have in your controller? Searches#show

If you see the log, the you’ll see a query ( the result of Search.find(params[:id]),

after that you haven’t told rails what to do with it, so as you see on you create method

you’re being redirect to “@search” (that’s a sort of abreviation of what you have on your routes.rb file)

You may want to do a respond\_to block, try searching that on rails guide or try this tutorial

What about Missing partial games/game (/views/games/\_game.html.erb) ? 🙂

in my games view folder I have the following:

index new show edit \_form

I don't really understand the missing partial part. I have already uploaded my search\_controller and show.html classes. I have below my search.rb model file if it is of any use:

class Search \< ActiveRecord::Base &nbsp;&nbsp;attr\_accessible :game\_name, :console, :genre

&nbsp;&nbsp;def games &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@games ||= find\_games &nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;private

&nbsp;&nbsp;def find\_games &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Game.find(:all, :conditions =\> conditions) &nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;def name\_conditions &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;["game\_name LIKE ?", "%#{game\_name}%"] unless game\_name.blank? &nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;def console\_conditions &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;["console LIKE ?", "%#{console}"] unless console.blank? &nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;def genre\_conditions &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;["genre LIKE ?", "%#{genre}"] unless genre.blank? &nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;def conditions &nbsp;&nbsp;[conditions\_clauses.join(' AND '), \*conditions\_options] end

def conditions\_clauses &nbsp;&nbsp;conditions\_parts.map { |condition| condition.first } end

def conditions\_options &nbsp;&nbsp;conditions\_parts.map { |condition| condition[1..-1] }.flatten end

def conditions\_parts &nbsp;&nbsp;private\_methods(false).grep(/\_conditions$/).map { |m| send(m) }.compact end

end

Hope this helps.

\<%= render @search.games %\>

means you have partial file:

---- /app/views/games/\_game.erb.html

hello world!, i’m \<%= game %\> instance!

I literally just solved it before you posted this 🙂 thanks for all the help, after reading a previous reply to my post it just clicked. Thanks all.
