I am new to Rails and I am setting up the user profile and adding fields
to
it for users to add details to their profile such as career, about me,
height, religion, etc. This information is completely different from the
registration options (account settings). As of now the profile fields
are
being recognized as the registration fields, which is incorrect. When I
click “Update” on profile page, it redirects to registration page. So
the
profile page with all those fields have no value atm. The system is not
recogonizing that those values should be saved to the user profile. How
it
should work is when user goes to their page at /users/4 it will present
forms for all their profile details. After selecting answers for each
options, the user clicks the button “Update” and the profile information
saves. The complete opposite is happening as of now, user clicks
“Update”
and it directs User back to the index (which is the register page) and
it
acts as if the previous page the User was on (profile page) was trying
to
fill out information from the registration form…which is incorrect.
