Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Hey I think this tutorial is out of date! you are referring to .rhtml files (although I did see that register.html.erb was mentioned in the tutorial)

You might want to try something like this:

<h1>Register</h1>
<% form_for @user do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :screen_name %>:
    <%= f.text_field :screen_name %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :e_mail, "E-Mail" %>:
    <%= f.text_field :e_mail %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :password %>:
    <%= f.password_field :password  %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.submit "Register" %>
  </p>
<% end %>

Edit: Since this didn't work for you, I'm going to start a fresh rails app from scratch to make this work:

prompt>rails test_app
prompt>cd test_app
prompt>script/generate scaffold user screen_name:string e_mail:string password:string
prompt>rake db:migrate
prompt>script/server

point your browser to http://localhost:3000/users/new and it should work. You will get something similar to what I posted above. This can show you that what I gave you SHOULD work but I think something is missing for your app. Try this start to finish and then from there figure out how to get a register action to work.

so should I be using rhtml or html.erb? I am still getting the same error btw. Thanks

try my 'tutorial' from start to finish. This should get it to work.

Answer 2

A:

You Rails version is outdated. You're using rails 1, current is rails 2 and rails 3 is already in beta. Rails 1 doesn't have this function, it was introduces in rails 2

see http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/v1.2.6/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb and http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/v2.0.0/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb

Yeah good point. I didn't even notice the version number in the logs.
