Error while customizing view template in Ruby on Rails

[Sreekesh O.]

I was trying to create custom view pages in ROR as seen in
http://blog.hulihanapplications.com/browse/view/55-ruby-on-rails-multiple-model-form-generator

then i got some errors
**********************************************

(erb):6:in `template': compile error (SyntaxError)
(erb):3: syntax error, unexpected $undefined

^
(erb):6: unterminated string meets end of file
(erb):6: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ')'
; _erbout
^

My edit page is
**********************************************

<h1>Editing <%= singular_name %></h1>

<%= render :partial => "_form", :locals => {:object => @<%=
singular_name %>, :f => f} %>

<%%= link_to 'Show', @<%= singular_name %> %> |
<%%= link_to 'Back', <%= plural_name %>_path %>

My partial form "form" is

<% for column in object.class.columns %>
<% if column.name != "id" %>
<div class="field">
<div class="label">
<%= f.label "#{column.name}".to_sym %>
</div>

<% if column.type == :integer || column.type == :float ||
column.type == :string %>
<% if column.name =~ /_id$/ # is this a id/foreign key field %>
<% column_class = column.name.gsub(/_id$/,
'').classify.constantize %>
<% if column_class %>
<%= collection_select(object.class.name.underscore.to_sym,
column.name.to_sym, column_class.all, :id, :name, :prompt => true) %>
<% else %>
<%= f.text_field column.name.to_sym %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<%= f.text_field column.name.to_sym %>
<% end %>
<% elsif column.type == :text %>
<%= f.text_area column.name.to_sym %>
<% elsif column.type == :datetime %>
<%= f.datetime_select column.name.to_sym %>
<% elsif column.type == :boolean %>
<%= f.check_box column.name.to_sym %>
<% else %>
<% # Unknown Column Type %>
<% end %>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>

This was the default edit page
**********************************************

<h1>Editing <%= singular_name %></h1>

<%% form_for(@<%= singular_name %>) do |f| %>
<%%= f.error_messages %>

<% for attribute in attributes -%>
<p>
<%%= f.label :<%= attribute.name %> %><br />
<%%= f.<%= attribute.field_type %> :<%= attribute.name %> %>
</p>
<% end -%>
<p>
<%%= f.submit 'Update' %>
</p>
<%% end %>

<%%= link_to 'Show', @<%= singular_name %> %> |
<%%= link_to 'Back', <%= plural_name %>_path %>

The controller code for edit view:
******************************************

def edit
@<%= file_name %> = <%= class_name %>.find(params[:id])
end

[KUL KING]

Where the file_name and class_name are declared? I don't see them declared inside the edit function.

you are using erb code inside the controller.  i don't get why you want to do this or if it's even

possible to do it like this.  start with the basic tutorials first before you go ahead with what you're

trying to do.

You put ERB, which must be in the views, in the controller.
This is how the controller should be (pure ruby code):

def edit
@file_name = class_name.find(params[:id])
end

and in the view (edit.html.erb) you can show @file_name in this way:

<div>
<%= @file_name.some_attribute %>
</div>
