Im new to Rails, and decided to start of with Rails3. After a lot of searching ive managed to get a little bit of Authlogic working. I'm able to register a user, login & logout.
Now, I would like to add more features, get more of authlogic working. I'm using Railscast EP 160 as my reference.
Portions of the code found on the tutorial throw errors: Eg:
<!-- layouts/_topbar.erb --> <%= link_to "Login", login_path %>
and I get the following error message:
undefined local variable or method `login_path' for #<#<Class:0x0000000311e8f8>:0x0000000310af38>
To overcome this, ive just used a string. i.e. <%= link_to "Login", "/UserSessions/new" %>
Now it seems like i've reached an impasse. When i try to output the current user with:
<%= @user.Login %>
I get an error that im unable to circumvent. Can you please help me?
Thanks 
Please find below the error message, and some of the code.
undefined method `Login' for nil:NilClass
