Is play_list an instance of a model? If so then why is
sequence_questions not just a method of the model?

Yes it is. I'll try that now.
Thank you.
Dave Castellano
Well, maybe...
Here is the code, te question is is it an instance if its not yet
created?
# POST /drills
# POST /drills.json
def create
if params[:level] == "subject"
session[:scope_id] = session[:student_subject_id]
session[:scope] = "subject"
elsif params[:level] == "book"
session[:scope_id] = session[:student_book_id]
session[:scope] = "book"
elsif params[:level] == "chapter"
session[:scope_id] = session[:student_chapter_id]
session[:scope] = "chapter"
end
if !Drill.exists? user_id: current_user.id, scope: params[:level],
scope_id: session[:scope_id]
if params[:level] == "subject"
klass = ScopeSelector::Subject
scope_id = session[:student_subject_id]
elsif params[:level] == "book"
klass = ScopeSelector::Book
scope_id = session[:student_book_id]
elsif params[:level] == "chapter"
klass = ScopeSelector::Chapter
scope_id = session[:student_chapter_id]
end
scope_selector = klass.new(scope_id)
play_list = scope_selector.play_list
# play_list[0] contains question ids corresponding to minisection
id in play_list[1]
# play_list[1] contains the minisection_id of the question ids in
play_list[0]
# play_list[2..infinity] contain upcoming minisection ids waiting
to be converted to their corresponding question ids
=begin
initial_now_playing_length = play_list[0].length
now_playing = play_list[0] # Create the now_playing from the long
list by shifting starting_now_playing_length question id's fron question
pool.
clone_number = 3 # $$$Variable # Number of repeats of
now_playing used to create initial playlist
order = "random" # $$$Variable
if order == "random"
now_playing_temp = Array.new
for i in 1..clone_number
now_playing = now_playing.dup.shuffle
now_playing_temp = now_playing_temp + now_playing
end
now_playing = now_playing_temp
for d in 1..clone_number # Check for sequential duplicates:
if now_playing[(initial_now_playing_length * d) -1 ] ==
now_playing[initial_now_playing_length * d] # Finds a duplicate...
value = now_playing.delete_at(initial_now_playing_length *
d) # Get the item and delete it from array
now_playing.insert(now_playing.length, value) # Reinsert
the item in a new position
end
end
else # Sequential
now_playing = now_playing.dup * clone_number
end
=end
now_playing = play_list[0].sequence_questions
binding.pry
play_list[0] = now_playing
@question = Question.find(play_list[0][0])
session[:play_list] = play_list
@drill = Drill.new(play_list: play_list, scope: params[:level],
scope_id: scope_id, user_id: current_user.id)
if @drill.save
redirect_to(:controller => "questions", :action => "show", :id
=> @question)
else
redirect_to :back
end
else # Drill already exists
@existing_drill = Drill.where("user_id = ? AND scope = ? AND
scope_id =?", current_user.id, params[:level],
session[:scope_id]).first.play_list
session[:play_list] = @existing_drill
@question = @existing_drill[0][0]
redirect_to(:controller => "questions", :action => "show", :id =>
@question)
end
end
The code between begin and end is the code I need to use in more than
one method...
