Has the classifieds table got a column updated_at? Show us the bit of db/schema.rb for that table if you think it has.

Post the start of classified.rb showing the class definition and any other stuff before the methods (if any).

I have these tables on my database with these fields each one:

->classifieds:(id,title,location,description,email,create_at,updated_at,category_id,content_type,picture)

->categories(id,name)

This is what I have in the followings files:

I presume you just typed that and have mistyped. That is why I asked for schema.rb. Copy/paste in order to avoid typos.

What happens if you run the rails console and do c = Classified.first Does it show update_at

If "updated_at" was a column you manually specified, I recommend you rename it. That name is used automagically by Rails behind the scenes, so using it manually is asking for trouble. That and created_at are the timestamps added to any generated migration that creates a new table.

Or are you actually trying to use the automagic one? The details were "tl;dr", but if you really need, I can slog through them....
