added attribute to person class
added field to views/person/show to capture date of benefits award
changed access to session from 'through locally scoped' variable
to 'directly accessing global' session object
renamed root action on PersonController to more meaningfull 'new'
edited routes.rb and renamed associated view accordingly
annotated PersonController for readability
Stuck! Control structure in person#first_screen is not having any effect
Tried using different message format in case call to
'render' function had something to do with it.
Doesn't work with 'puts' function either.
commented out calls to 'puts'
apparently 'puts' looks for the controller's 'view'
'render' doesn't
Fixed logic by creating local variables to hold session values
git complaing of untracked files. ran 'git add --all'
removed unnecessary comments
set all local variables from session
testing conditional evaluation of trd_dsp variable
successfull
