<![CDATA[Rails Forum - Ruby on Rails Help and Discussion Forum - two things seem to equal, but the UNLESS statement passes anyway.]]> http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=51680 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:20:06 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[two things seem to equal, but the UNLESS statement passes anyway.]]> http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=157700#p157700 when params[:which_post] happens to equal the users last message, the unless staement on line 10 passes when in fact they both equal. I've done testing and I know the params work and they do in fact equal, but it still passes when it shouldn't

<!-- finding out if there is a param for the post or we should always use the last one. -->

<% if params.has_key?(:which_post) %>

    <% which_post = params[:which_post] %>

<% else %>

    <% which_post = @user.messages.last.id %>

<% end %>

<!-- This is the recent activity bar -->

<div id="recent_activity_bar">

    <% for message in @user.messages.reverse[(0..9)] %>

      <% unless message.id == which_post %> <!-- the point of this is so the main post isn't
shown on the recent activity -->
          <%= message.id %> : <%= which_post %>

          <%= message.content %><br/>

      <% end %>

    <% end %>

</div>
