Hi Friends,
I am very new to RoR. I have now got the pager working for my
listing page and was trying to get the sorting to work. However I get
this error:
MissingSourceFile in PeopleController#index
Missing helper file helpers/sorting_helper.rb
RAILS_ROOT: C:/ruby/contact
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_controller/

Following is the code in the controller:
def index
@sorter = SortingHelper::Sorter.new self, %w(name address),
@params['sort'], @params['order'], 'name', 'ASC'
@people = Person.search(params[:search], params[:page])
end
following is the code in the view:
<h1>Listing people</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<th><%= link_to 'Name', @sorter.to_link('name') %></th>
<th><%= link_to 'Address', @sorter.to_link('address') %></th>
</tr>
<% for person in @people %>
<tr>
<td><%=h person.name %></td>
<td><%=h person.address %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Show', person %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_person_path(person) %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Destroy', person, :confirm => 'Are you
sure?', :method => :delete %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
<br />
<!-- products/index.rhtml -->
<%= will_paginate @people %>
<%= link_to 'New person', new_person_path %>
following is the code in the model:
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# models/product.rb
def self.search(search, page)
paginate :per_page => 5, :page => page,
:conditions => ['name like ?', "%#{search}%"],
:order => 'name'
end
end
i also added this line to the routes.rb
map.connect ':controller/:action/:sort/:order'
Looking forward to your help yet again.....
