Please Im trying to create an application where i can post like twitter,
but i was the users name to be posted under their respective posts
My Post_controller looks like this
def index @posts = Post.all(:order => “created_at DESC”) @users = User.find(:all)
#@user_id = current_user.find(params[:id])
the models both have the correct association and tables are having
User_id as primary on User table and Foreign on the Post Table, how do
i create a method to be a able to have my index view show the post and
name.
format.html
name.
Not sure I understand exactly, but if you have a post in this_post,
say, then the user is this_post.user, so the name will be
this_post.user.name
format.html
name.
Not sure I understand exactly, but if you have a post in this_post,
say, then the user is this_post.user, so the name will be
this_post.user.name
Please don’t top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread.
Insert your reply at appropriate points in previous message. Thanks
i want to have the name of the user who created the each post under
their post, what i have now in my view only shows the post, can u help
me wit this
I said how to do this already. In your view at some point you have a
variable this_post or just post or something. The user created that
post will be this_post.user and the name, presumably, is
this_post.user.name.
I suggest that you work through some rails tutorials to get a grasp of
the basics. railstutorial.org is good and is free to use online.
Work right through it doing all the exercises and so on. Also look at
the Rails Guides.
