When I click on “record” I get: Unknown action No action responded to record [http://localhost:3000/feeds/record](http://localhost:3000/feeds/record) I’m going by the tutorial at \<[http://developer.apple.com/tools/](http://developer.apple.com/tools/) rubyonrails.html\> and am adapting it to my project; all code at \. I added a “record” method to feeds\_controller.rb which corresponds with feed/show.rhtml, so I’m unclear as to what the error message the browser gives means. thanks, Thufir ---

The file name is “feeds\_controller.rb”, but, yes, it’s class FeedsController. Yes, the name of the file and the class name are related. Still, I don’t get the significance of your observation. Nor, really, what you’ve observed. What I want is something similar to the screenshot at \, albeit for a many-to-many. thanks, Thufir ---

I’m going to look at this later, but when I click on the submit (record!) button the result is: ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in FeedsController#record Couldn’t find Category without an ID RAILS\_ROOT:

You’re doing Category.find(params[:id]), but there is no :id parameter in your form. Fred
