当前用户个人资料视图和其他用户的Rails if语句

Question

Hi I'm having some trouble getting different views to display based on whether or not the user being viewed is the logged in user.

I'm using Rails 3.2 and Devise

I've tried the code below but it always returns the template for the logged in user (where I have edit info links) rather than the one for the other users.

<% if user = current_user %>  
  <%= render 'users/myprofile' %>
<% else %>
  <%= render 'users/viewprofile' %>
<% end %>

Thanks very much

Answer 1

The statement should be..

<% if user == current_user %>  

The reason being, = is for assignment, == is for comparison.

Answer 2

Check the sign of comparison. You have used equals to sign.

<% if user == current_user %>

= sign assigns the current user to user variable. Hence the condition will always be true unless there is no current user.
