I'm have some difficulties here, I am unable to successfully call a method which belongs to a ProjectPage
model in the ProjectPage
controller.
I have in my ProjectPage
controller:
def index
@searches = Project.published.financed
@project_pages = form_search(params)
end
And in my ProjectPage
model:
def form_search(searches)
searches = searches.where('amount > ?', params[:price_min]) if check_params(params[:price_min])
@project_pages = ProjectPage.where(:project_id => searches.pluck(:'projects.id'))
end
However, I am unable to successfully call the form_search
method.
To complete davidb's answer, two things you're doing wrong are:
1) you're calling a model's function from a controller, when the model function is only defined in the model itself. So you do need to call
Project.form_search
and define the function with
def self.form_search
2) you're calling params from the model. In the MVC architecture, the model doesn't know anything about the request, so params is not defined there. Instead, you'll need to pass the variable to your function like you're already doing...
