I'm currently trying to install savage beast and it has worked well to the point that I'm able to post an read topics.
However, I've run into the following weirdness that I haven't been able to figure out:
At the Forums' index view I get the following error (trace at the bottom of my post): "Showing vendor/plugins/savage_beast/app/views/forums/index.html.erb where line #53 raised: undefined method `display_name' for #<User:0x867efa0>"
What makes it totally weird is that face that I don't get this error the first time I call this page after a fresh server start. The page loads fine first (displaying the correct display_name) but then starts to fail with this error on every call.
The line that fails is the following one: "<%= 'by {user}'[:by_user,"<strong>#{h(forum.recent_post.user.display_name)}</
"] %>"
I can change it to "forum.recent_post.user.login" or any other database field and that works. The model correctly loads the database fields and creates the methods to access them all. All methods i defined in my app/model/user.rb are gone however.
I tried "forum.recent_post.user.instance_of? User" and that oddly returns "false" ("true" right after a server reboot).
I tried this on Mongrel, WeBrick and Apache and the error is consistent on all servers. I'm running Rails 2.0.2 and ruby 1.8.6.
Any suggestions on what could be wrong?
