Trying to get to grips with ERB, new to Webby

[Alex Muller]

Hi all,

New to Webby and Ruby, and I'd appreciate any help you can give me
with ERB; this seems to be a great little tool for a project I'm
working on.

I'm editing my default.txt layout file and can't understand why this
is happening:

<%= @page.title %> returns "My Page Title"
<%= @content %> returns "My page content goes right in here"
<%= ((defined? @page.title) ? 'SET' : 'NOT SET') %> returns "NOT SET"
<%= ((defined? @content) ? 'SET' : 'NOT SET') %> returns "SET"

I'm trying to include a variable from the content metadata, but only
if it's set.

Hope that makes sense,

Alex

Webby uses method_missing, so defined? won't work here. Try checking !@page.title.nil? instead.

That's brilliant Magnus, thank you!

Much appreciated,

Alex
