Question

The following code works fine:

<table border="1">
    <% @allevents.each do |allevent| %>
        <tr>    
            <td><%= allevent.name %></td>
            <td><%= button_to "View", :action => "view", :allevent_id => "0000000000000131"%>
        </tr>
   <% end %>
</table>

However when I swap out the ID I’m passing to :

<%= button_to "View", :action => "view", allevent_id  %>

Its passing a nil value. Any idea how I can reference this correctly? It doesn’t seem to like allevent.id but the allevent_id is nil? I tested displaying allevent.id in output text and it looked correct.

Controller code for reference:

def index
@allevents = Event.all     
end

Also wanted to add my routes.rb code which seems to vague:

match 'event/:action' => 'events#view' 

Thanks in advance!

try:

<table border="1">
    <% @allevents.each do |allevent| %>
        <tr>    
            <td><%= allevent.name %></td>
            <td><%= button_to "View", :action => "view", :allevent_id => allevent.id %>
        </tr>
   <% end %>
</table>
