Not sure what happened to my last post so I will try again, here goes…

I am getting the following error and not sure why? I think its because  
I am sending over an id when I shouldn’t be. I was logged into my app  
when I created this code referenced below and all was fine. I then  
logged out and now I am getting this error everywhere and can’t even get  
into the log-in screen without commenting the code out. Any  
suggestions?

Showing app/views/pages/\_stats.html.erb where line #4 raised:

subscribing\_user\_url failed to generate from {:controller=\>“users”,  
:action=\>“subscribing”, :id=\>false}, expected: {:controller=\>“users”,  
:action=\>“subscribing”}, diff: {:id=\>false}

Extracted source (around line #4):

1: \<% @user ||= current\_user %\>  
2:

  
3: 
# 4: 5: 6: \<%= @user.subscribing.count %\> subscribing 7:

Ok, think I figured it out. @user and current\_user are both nil and so  
thus the error. So put in the following and seems to work.

\<% @user ||= current\_user %\>  
\<% if @user %\>  
…  
\<% end %\>
