So i have this at the moment
<%= link_to 'Compare', event_path(event.id), class: "btn btn-info" %>
simple link to, Nothing fancy.
However, What im wanting to do, Is when users click the button to compare, If the event.id has a value inside column_a it will redirect to the /eventinfo/(data value inside column_a).html.erb
How do i go about this?
This is currently ona results page populated from searchkick if that helps at all?

link_to
only builds a link; you'll need to implement this logic yourself. The event.id
is a number, so it can't have a value in column_a
- I assume you meant column_a
exists on event
.
<%- if event.column_a.present? -%>
<%= link_to 'Compare', eventinfo_path(event.column_a) %>
<%- else -%>
<%= link_to 'Compare', event_path(event.id) %>
<%- end -%>
For a clean template or reuse, you could put this logic into a helper method that either generates the whole link or selects the desired URL.
