Hi,
Im having problems with an association in rails:
Currently I have Post and User models, and the relationship is set this way:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :username, :name, :lastname
has_many :posts
end
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :title, :body
belongs_to :user
end
However, in my app/views/posts/index.html.haml when Im trying to access the username for the post I get this error:
undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
This is my view:
- title "Posts"
%table
%tr
%th Title
%th Body
%th Author
- for post in @posts
%tr
%td= h post.title
%td= h post.body
%td= h post.user.name
%td= link_to 'Show', post
%td= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(post)
%td= link_to 'Destroy', post, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete
%p= link_to "New Post", new_post_path
Any thoughts of what Im doing wrong will be appretiated
