Set table value

Hi guys,

I'm a newbie in ruby and I would just like to know how you set a value for a field in a table where session[:user_id] matches user.user_id.

I am trying to do this from a submit form in the show.html.erb file because that is where the other field value is set.

Help would be much appreciated..

<p>   <b>Title:</b>   <%=h @post.title %> </p>

<p>   <b>Mood:</b>   <%=h @post.mood %> </p>

<p>   <b>Location:</b>   <%=h @post.location %> </p>

<p>   <b>Thoughts:</b>   <%=h @post.thoughts %> </p>

<h4>Comments</h4> <ul>   <% @post.comments.each do |comment| %>

  <li>     <%= h comment.comment %><br/>     <div class = "dateline">         Posted on <%= comment.created_at.strftime("%B %d, %Y at %I:%M %p")%>     </div>   </li>

  <% end %> </ul>

<% form_for(:comment, :url => post_comments_path(@post)) do |f| %>    <p>Comment:<br/>    <%= f.text_area :comment %></p>    <%= comment.username.set("User.find_by_id(session[:user_id]).name") %>    <%= f.submit "Create" %> <%end %>

<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(@post) %> | <%= link_to 'Back', posts_path %>

If I've understood you properly you're doing this back to front. You'd typically do this in the comments controller, when you are creating the new comment

is user.id no user.user_id
