Menu
In my app, I've got a little box that appears on every page, checking on the status of requests made by the user. If a request is accepted at any time, then the user should automatically be taken to a certain page. This is my code so far:
<% offersMade.each do |w| %>
<% if w.accepted == true %>
<% redirect_to offer_path(:email => "[email protected]") %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
But I'm getting this error:
undefined method `redirect_to' for #<ActionView::Base:0x1042a9770>
Is it not possible to user redirect_to in a view? If not, is there something else I can use? Thanks for reading.

There is an important difference between render and redirect_to: render will tell Rails what view it should use (with the same parameters you may have already sent) but redirect_to sends a new request to the browser.
Rails's redirect_to takes two parameters, option and response_status (optional). It redirects the browser to the target specified in options. This parameter can be: Hash - The URL will be generated by calling url_for with the options.
redirect_to is a method of ActionController::Base Class so you can not use it in ActionView.
You can try following
<% if w.accepted == true %>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location.href="/logins/sign_up" // put your correct path in a string here
</script>
<% end %>
Edited for the email parameter
window.location.href="/logins/sign_up?email=<%= w.email %>"
Sorry i don't know if there is anything in ruby for that.

If you want to use redirect_to from view , do this method:
syntax : <%controller.redirect_to path %>
Example:<% controller.redirect_to users_profile_path %>
