Hello! Total newbie question (new to rails, very new to authlogic). I am attempting to save the user_id to my projects table when a user is logged in. I have a number of sample projects in my database and I manually associated the projects to different users. I created a "my projects" controller that accurately retrieves from the db the projects associated with the logged in user. The issue I have is when I create a new project while a user is logged in: The user_id is not saved to the projects table (the project is saved, just not the associated user-id). The Read, Update, and Delete functions work fine from the 'my projects' controller.
Below are my models & controllers. I've changed the 'create' step in the controller to be a number of things, but nothing seems to work.
Should I be associating 'projects' to the 'UserSession' instead (model also included below, but currently empty)? Or do I need to declare some sort of logic that saves user_id when a user is actually logged in? Or do I need to create a new route that points to a 'project save' that also saves the user_id?
Thanks in advance for input!
