Question

In my view I would like to have Post.find.. before the raw as in the second example below. The raw is there because I’m using a separate font inline that I need to detect with css.

Putting the raw before the Post: this renders properly. However it’s not the sequence I want.

<%= link_to raw("<span id='arrow'>&gt</span>") + Post.find_by_id(post.id-1).title, params.merge(:page => @posts.previous_page) %>

This doesn’t work, the raw gets rendered like, "<span id='arrow'>&gt</span>". But it is the sequence I want.

<%= link_to Post.find_by_id(post.id-1).title + raw("<span id='arrow'>&gt</span>"), params.merge(:page => @posts.previous_page) %>

How can I get the second statement to render the raw properly?

Answer 1

<%= link_to raw("#{Post.find_by_id(post.id-1).title} <span id='arrow'>&gt</span>"), params.merge(:page => @posts.previous_page) %>
