Hello there,
I have a mini blog in which stores a few bits of info:
- title
- body
- created on
- user_id
If you’re logged in, you can enter a comment too.
this stores:
- body
- blogpost_id
- user_id
however. For some reason, the user id when the blog is created is
stored. It is not stored when a user adds a comment, and I wondered if
anyone can spot what i ave missed?
Actions from the Blogpost controller:
def new
@user = User.find(session[:user_id])
#@blogpost = Blogpost.new
@blogpost = Blogpost.create(:body => params[:body], :user_id =>
session[:user_id])
@cat = Category.find(:all)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @blogpost }
end
end
def create
@user = User.find(session[:user_id])
@blogpost = Blogpost.new(params[:blogpost])
#@blogpost.category_id = (params[:category])
respond_to do |format|
if @blogpost.save
flash[:notice] = 'Blogpost was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to(@blogpost) }
format.xml { render :xml => @blogpost, :status
=> :created, :location => @blogpost }
else
format.html { render :action => “new” }
format.xml { render :xml => @blogpost.errors, :status
=> :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
And then the comment: (this is also in the same controller)
def comment
@user = User.find(session[:user_id])
@blogpost = Blogpost.new
@blogpost = Blogpost.create(:body => params[:body], :user_id =>
session[:user_id])
Blogpost.find(params[:id]).comments.create(params[:comment])
flash[:notice] = "Added your comment"
redirect_to :action => "show", :id => params[:id]
end
THe coment does get stored to the database, but the user_id remains
NULL.
Any ideas?
thanks for reading.
