NoMethodError in UsersController#show

So I am getting the error

NoMethodError in UsersController#show error undefined method `feed' for nil:NilClass

{"authenticity_token"=>"zalkdfsjfksjd;lfs;lfksdkf/2tPzo=", "login"=>"session", "password"=>"admin", "commit"=>"Log in"}

Why is login being set to "session"? Instead of the real login?

This is my form:

<fieldset>     <div class="yui-g" >         <% form_tag session_path do %>             <p><label class="block" for="login">Login</label>             <%= text_field_tag 'login' %></p>

            <p><label class="block" for="password">Password</label>             <%= password_field_tag 'password' %></p>

            <!-- Comment this if you don't want this functionality -->             <p><label for="remember_me">Remember me:</label>             <%= check_box_tag 'remember_me' %></p>

            <p><%= submit_tag 'Log in', :class => "btn", :id => "login_btn" %> <%= link_to "Sign Up", new_user_path %></p>         <% end %>     </div> </fieldset>

Here are the relevant controllers and models: Users_Controller: def show     #@user = User.find(params[:id])     @user = User.find_by_login(params[:login])     #@feed_items = @user.feed     @feed_items = @user.feed   end

Users Model: def feed     #Post.all(:conditions => ["user_id = ?", id])     Post.from_users_subscribed_by(self) end

Post Model (using SQLite3) : named_scope :from_users_subscribed_by, lambda { |user| subscribed_by(user) }

  private

    # Return an SQL condition for users followed by the given user.     # We include the user's own id as well.     def self.subscribed_by(user)       subscribed_ids = %(SELECT subscribed_id FROM subscriptions WHERE subscriber_id = :user_id)       { :conditions => ["user_id IN (#{subscribed_ids}) OR user_id = :user_id",                         { :user_id => user }] }     end

Ok, so I found the issue. The below resource in my routes is the issue.

map.profile_link '/:login', :controller => 'users', :action => 'show'

I used this to try and get Twitter-like urls so something like myapp.com/coolusername.

So what was happening anything after myapp.com/ was being set at the :login so I am not sure how to get the Twitter-like urls plus have things like myapp.com/posts or myapp.com/session.

Anyone have any clues?
