    <p>I am currrently in the process of writing a new rails application and have a div near the top of my page called background that contains an image, a Title and some sub title text. </p> <p>At the moment I have created seperate helper methods, as below, that passes in each of the elements by testing against the action and controller parameter. </p> <p>This doesn't however seem like a very efficient way of implementing the code and so I was wondering what would be the best way to pass the three elements together in one method?</p> <p>Currently I have a setup like this:</p> <pre><code>def background if params[:action] == "index" &amp;&amp; params[:controller] == "everydays" return "/assets/everyday.jpg" elsif params[:action] == "index" &amp;&amp; params[:controller] == "mens" return "/assets/mens.jpg" elsif params[:action] == "index" &amp;&amp; params[:controller] == "womens" return "/assets/womens.jpg" end end def title_h1 if params[:action] == "index" &amp;&amp; params[:controller] == "everydays" return "Everyday" elsif params[:action] == "index" &amp;&amp; params[:controller] == "mens" return "Mens" elsif params[:action] == "index" &amp;&amp; params[:controller] == "womens" return "Womens" end end def title_h3 if params[:action] == "index" &amp;&amp; params[:controller] == "everyday" return "Example text for this Everyday Section" elsif params[:action] == "index" &amp;&amp; params[:controller] == "mens" return "Example text for this Mens Section" elsif params[:action] == "index" &amp;&amp; params[:controller] == "womens" return "Example text for this Womens Section" end end </code></pre> <p>Any advice people can offer would be much appreciated.</p>

    2. COThanks for your reply Debadatt. Do you know how I define where each part that is returned? For example how can I ensure the title_h1 text ends up in the correct div?

    3. COAs you are fetching the values from helper methods by calling 3 methods. You can call single method from top of the div and capturing three values and replace those at their particular positions.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
