Hi All, I have created sample job application which contain employers area, admin area and I am using Mysql database. I have created job post area or form via scaffold then I created authenticated area for employers via act\_as\_authenticated, now I have two users when they login they can see all posts and they can update or delete. I want each user see his job posts, and by the way I have users table which created by act\_as\_authenticated and jobs tables I have created manually for job posts. I have added FK called users\_id in jobs table and it pointing to PK ID in users tables. When the employer fill new job post his ID not add to the database I don’t know why. Could you please guide me to fix users authentications? I am reading Agile Web D. with Rails book which good but it talk about shopping cart, I have not find what I need in other book, this is why I wrote my post here and looking for your help. Yours, Waleed ---

My post code I called employer as you see below : class EmployerController \< ApplicationController before\_filter :login\_required def index list render :action =\> ‘list’ end # GETs should be safe (see [URIs, Addressability, and the use of HTTP GET and POST](http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/whenToUseGet.html)) verify :method =\> :post, :only =\> [:destroy, :create, :update], :redirect\_to =\> { :action =\> :list } def list ``` @job_pages, @jobs = paginate :jobs, :per_page => 10 ``` end def show @job = Job.find(params[:id]) end def new @job = Job.new end def create @job = Job.new(params[:job]) if @job.save flash[:notice] = ‘Job was successfully created.’ redirect\_to :action =\> ‘list’ else render :action =\> ‘new’ end end def edit @job = Job.find(params[:id]) end def update @job = Job.find(params[:id]) if @job.update\_attributes(params[:job]) flash[:notice] = ‘Job was successfully updated.’ redirect\_to :action =\> ‘show’, :id =\> @job else render :action =\> ‘edit’ end end def destroy Job.find(params[:id]).destroy redirect\_to :action =\> ‘list’ end end This above code generated by scaffold and I have added before\_filter :login\_required. ---

The must be user\_id not users\_id. That could be the problem. Look at the output in the dev log. ---

You need to make some new files. A User model (which I think you already have) which belongs\_to :employer An Employer model which has\_many :jobs, and has\_one :user A Job Model which belongs\_to :employer The code you listed shows all your Job activies in your employer controller. Get all your controller code generated. I have the feeling you got a little mixed up. thanks, C. ---

If you are seeing all jobs for all posts you are making progress. If your Employer model has\_many :jobs than you can do something like @first\_employer = Employer.find(:first) than in a view you can do \<% @first\_employer.jobs.each do |job| %\> \<%= job.id %\> \<% end %\> ---
