Error while customizing view template in Ruby on Rails

I was trying to create custom view pages in ROR as seen in
http://blog.hulihanapplications.com/browse/view/55-ruby-on-rails-multiple-model-form-generator

then i got some errors


(erb):6:in `template’: compile error (SyntaxError)
(erb):3: syntax error, unexpected $undefined

^
(erb):6: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting ‘)’
; _erbout.concat(( plural_name ).to_s); _erbout.concat “_path %>\n”
^
(erb):6: unterminated string meets end of file
(erb):6: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ‘)’
; _erbout
^

My edit page is


Editing <%= singular_name %>

<%= render :partial => “_form”, :locals => {:object => @<%=
singular_name %>, :f => f} %>

<%%= link_to ‘Show’, @<%= singular_name %> %> |
<%%= link_to ‘Back’, <%= plural_name %>_path %>

My partial form “form” is

<% for column in object.class.columns %>
  <% if column.name != "id" %>
  <div class="field">
    <div class="label">
      <%= f.label "#{column.name}".to_sym  %>
  </div>

    <% if column.type == :integer || column.type == :float ||

column.type == :string %>
<% if column.name =~ /_id$/ # is this a id/foreign key field %>
<% column_class = column.name.gsub(/_id$/,
‘’).classify.constantize %>
<% if column_class %>
<%= collection_select(object.class.name.underscore.to_sym,
column.name.to_sym, column_class.all, :id, :name, :prompt => true) %>
<% else %>
<%= f.text_field column.name.to_sym %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<%= f.text_field column.name.to_sym %>
<% end %>
<% elsif column.type == :text %>
<%= f.text_area column.name.to_sym %>
<% elsif column.type == :datetime %>
<%= f.datetime_select column.name.to_sym %>
<% elsif column.type == :boolean %>
<%= f.check_box column.name.to_sym %>
<% else %>
<% # Unknown Column Type %>
<% end %>

<% end %>
<% end %>

This was the default edit page


Editing <%= singular_name %>

<%% form_for(@<%= singular_name %>) do |f| %>
<%%= f.error_messages %>

<% for attribute in attributes -%>

<%%= f.label :<%= attribute.name %> %>
<%%= f.<%= attribute.field_type %> :<%= attribute.name %> %>

<% end -%>

<%%= f.submit 'Update' %>

<%% end %>

<%%= link_to ‘Show’, @<%= singular_name %> %> |
<%%= link_to ‘Back’, <%= plural_name %>_path %>

Share your controller code where you are rendering this view.

The controller code for edit view:


def edit
@<%= file_name %> = <%= class_name %>.find(params[:id])
end

Where the file_name and class_name are declared? I don’t see them
declared
inside the edit function.

you are using erb code inside the controller. i don’t get why you want
to
do this or if it’s even
possible to do it like this. start with the basic tutorials first
before
you go ahead with what you’re
trying to do.

These are files in rails installation folder the scaffold-generator
template.
These are defined default by rails

path of files in linux:

usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails
2.3.5/lib/rails-generator/generator/components/scaffold/template

manually set some specifications

You put ERB, which must be in the views, in the controller.
This is how the controller should be (pure ruby code):

def edit
@file_name = class_name.find(params[:id])
end

and in the view (edit.html.erb) you can show @file_name in this way:

<%= @file_name.some_attribute %>
