I think you have it backwards. If there's no query, there's nothing to put in the partial, but the partial is needed in the case that you DO have a search query. Make a second partial that only has "No search yet" in it. Put that in the else side. In the if side, put this: render :partial => 'search_results', :locals => @games Inside your partial, change any instance of @games to games (remove the @). There's an even easier way to do this, and that's by making a single row of your table as a partial, and saving it with the name _game.html.erb. Then in your index page, add this: <table> <%= render @games %> </table> If you haven't done so yet, I really recommend a thorough read of the Rails Guide on Views and Rendering. http://guides.rubyonrails.org Walter > > Rolando Garros suggestion is simply not changing anything, maybe I'm not > implementing it correctly... > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to rubyonrails-talk+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
