I think you want to restructure your code a bit. For example, create an instance method on household for retrieving a view object given a year. Assuming you had a helper function or a partial for displaying views your partial for displaying a household wouldn't need to be much more complicated than <%= format_view household.view_for_year @year %> <%= format_view household.view_for_year @year - 1%> <%= format_view household.view_for_year @year - 2%> fred > > def print > debugger > @today = Date.today > @year = @today.year > @households = Household.find(:all, :order => "last_name, > first_name") > @churches = Church.find(:all, :order => "name").map {|u| [u.name, > u.id]} > > respond_to do |format| > # format.html # index.html > # format.xml { head :ok } > # format.pdf { send_data render_to_pdf({ :action => > 'log', :layout => 'pdf_report' }) } > format.pdf { send_data render_to_pdf( :action => 'print', > :layout => > 'pdf_report'), > :filename => "households > for " + Time.now.to_s(:long) + ".pdf" } > end > end > > <% @households.each do |@household| %> > <% �...@thisyear = > Visit.find_or_create_by_household_id_and_year(:household_id => > @household, :year => @year) %> > <% �...@lastyear = > Visit.find_or_create_by_household_id_and_year(:household_id => > @household, :year => @year-1) %> > <% �...@twoyearsago = > Visit.find_or_create_by_household_id_and_year(:household_id => > @household, :year => @year-2) %> > <%= render :partial=>"print" %> > <% end %> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
