I think you meant those to be () rather than {}

i notice, thanks i use that line too mucho on my code so i made on ApplicationControlller

  def privilege     (session[:user_id].exist? && session[:user_id].privilege == 50) ? true : false   end

and on the actual page i put

<%= :privilege ? link_to('Edit', edit_product_path(product)) : "" %>

but it doesnt work

true : false

end

<%= :privilege ? link_to(‘Edit’, edit_product_path(product)) : “” %>

but it doesnt work

There might be other issues, but the reason you can not access it is that you either need to put it in a helper (app/helpers), or make your code in the application controller look like:

helper_method :privelige def privelige

your code here

end

i put it like a helper on AplicationController but still doesnt work

def privilege (session[:user_id].exist? && session[:user_id].privilege == 50) ? true : false end

and on the actual page i put

<%= :privilege ? link_to('Edit', edit_product_path(product)) : "" %>

but it doesnt work

You've got a stray : in front of privilege
