Evening all,
I've sat here scratching my head for the last few hours over this.
I have a very simple comments model attached to an article model. Issue is, there seems to be a blank comment at the end of every articles comments section. If i try and use a method like capitalize it errors out with "capitalize on nil class", also if i put the comments in a div with a grey background for each comment (facebook style) a blank box appears at the end of an articles comments. Does anyone know whats going on?
Anyway heres the code: Comments controller
def create
@article = Article.find(params[:article_id])
@comment = @article.comments.create(params[:comment])
if @comment.save
flash[:success] = "Comment created"
redirect_to @article
else
flash[:error] = "Something went wrong"
redirect_to @article
end
end
def destroy
@article = Article.find(params[:article_id])
@comment = @article.comments.find(params[:id])
@comment.destroy
redirect_to @article
end
end
comments Model
attr_accessible :name, :content
belongs_to :article
validates_presence_of :article_id
validates_presence_of :content, length: { maximum: 300 }
default_scope order: "comments.created_at DESC"
comment form
<a href='#', id='comments-form', class="btn btn-large">Add a comment</a>
<div id="comment">
<%= form_for([@article, @article.comments.build]) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.label :content %>
<%= f.text_field :content %>
<br>
<%= f.submit "Create", class: "btn btn-large" %>
<% end %>
</div>
comments show
<legend>Comments</legend>
<% comments.each do |comment| %>
<sabon><%= comment.name %></sabon><br>
<p><%= comment.content %></p>
<hr>
<% end %>
bottom of article show
<%= render partial: "comments/form", locals: { article: @article } %><br><br>
<%= render partial: "comments/show", locals: { comments: @article.comments }%>
routes
resources :articles do
resources :comments
end
any help would be great thanks guys, thanks in advance Andy, if you need more code just shout.
