I have a blog rails app where users can comment on an article and the article author can message the user directly from the comment for which i have added a send message button, i am using mailbox for getting the message option, everything is working but the problem is when there are multiple comments the message button also get multiplied, but i don't want that what i am trying to have is one message button for each comment.
This is what am getting right now:
my code
<div id="comments">
<h2 class="comment_count">
<%= pluralize(@shipment.comments.count, "Bid") %>
</h2>
<% @comments.each do |comment| %>
<div class="comment">
<li class="round-image-50"><%= image_tag(current_user.avatar.url(:thumb)) %></li><h6 class="username"><strong><font style="text-transform: capitalize;"><%= comment.user.full_name %></strong></font></h6>
<div class="shipment">
<p class="content">
<div class="text-center left col-md-4">
<%= comment.content %>
</div>
<% if @shipment.user == current_user %>
<% @shipment.comments.each do |comment| %>
<%= link_to 'Send Message', new_conversation_path(recipient_id: comment.user_id), class: "btn btn-default btn-xs" %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<%= render "comments/form" %>
</div>
Change this:
<% if @shipment.user == current_user %>
<% @shipment.comments.each do |comment| %>
<%= link_to 'Send Message', new_conversation_path(recipient_id: comment.user_id), class: "btn btn-default btn-xs" %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
to
<% if @shipment.user == current_user %>
<%= link_to 'Send Message', new_conversation_path(recipient_id: comment.user_id), class: "btn btn-default btn-xs" %>
<% end %>
PS: I assumed that @comments
is same as @shipment.comments
from your shown code
