maybe i misunderstand, but what i see is a helper-method in application_helper. i don't know how many times you call that method in one single view, but if you call it only once @rev is not yet set when you write it into your log file.
does the method return your revision-number correctly? if so, why don't you just write something like this: Footer ... <%= revision_info %> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
