Question

I have the following HTML markup:

<div class="votes meta engagement">
  <span class="vote-count">
    <span class="vote-total">
      <strong><%= @post.total_votes %></strong>
    </span>
  </span>
  <span class="vote-text secondary">votes by</span>
  <span class='voted-user'>
    <% @post.votes.each do |vote| %>
      <%= link_to vote.user.username, vote.user %>
    <% end %>
  </span>
</div>

I can’t do <%= pluralize(@post_total_votes, "vote") %> because I need that text to be right before by in the vote-text div.

How can I solve this situation?

Answer 1

Shouldn’t this work for what you’re trying to do?

  <span class="vote-text secondary"><%= pluralize(@post.total_votes, "vote") %> by</span>

edit:
Then wouldn’t this work? You can obviously combine the two rails calls together, but just wanted to make sure this is what you were going for.

<div class="votes meta engagement">
  <span class="vote-count">
    <span class="vote-total">
      <strong><%= @post.total_votes %> <%= pluralize(@post.total_votes, "vote") %></strong>
    </span>
  </span>
  <span class="vote-text secondary">by</span>
  <span class='voted-user'>
    <% @post.votes.each do |vote| %>
      <%= link_to vote.user.username, vote.user %>
    <% end %>
  </span>
</div>
