Hi I want to do a simple create method and then it will open a view  
(show) to show all the data that was inputed (pretty simple).  
But I want the person to see the show ONLY when he/she first input his  
data (for example after the create it will redirect to show in  
localhost/anything/1 )  
But I dont want to be possible to ppl go to localhost/anything/1 and see  
other people data, is there a way to do it ?

It’s called scoping. Imagine I have a logged in user, and they can  
view a list of, say, posts. Post belongs to user which (almost  
obviously) therefore has many posts. Then, we do this for the view:

@post = logged\_in\_user.posts.find(params[:id])
