Hello there,
I have a mini blog in which stores a few bits of info:
- title - body - created on - user_id
If you're logged in, you can enter a comment too. this stores:
- body - blogpost_id - user_id
however. For some reason, the user id when the blog is created is stored. It is not stored when a user adds a comment, and I wondered if anyone can spot what i ave missed?
Actions from the Blogpost controller:
def new @user = User.find(session[:user_id]) #@blogpost = Blogpost.new @blogpost = Blogpost.create(:body => params[:body], :user_id => session[:user_id])
@cat = Category.find(:all) respond_to do |format| format.html # new.html.erb format.xml { render :xml => @blogpost } end end
def create @user = User.find(session[:user_id]) @blogpost = Blogpost.new(params[:blogpost]) #@blogpost.category_id = (params[:category])
respond_to do |format| if @blogpost.save flash[:notice] = 'Blogpost was successfully created.' format.html { redirect_to(@blogpost) } format.xml { render :xml => @blogpost, :status => :created, :location => @blogpost } else format.html { render :action => "new" } format.xml { render :xml => @blogpost.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity } end end end
And then the comment: (this is also in the same controller)
def comment @user = User.find(session[:user_id]) @blogpost = Blogpost.new @blogpost = Blogpost.create(:body => params[:body], :user_id => session[:user_id])
Blogpost.find(params[:id]).comments.create(params[:comment])
flash[:notice] = "Added your comment"
redirect_to :action => "show", :id => params[:id]
end
THe coment does get stored to the database, but the user_id remains NULL.
Any ideas?
thanks for reading.
