In a class, I'm built a Pintrest style app, and I recently set up a show action for my users. The link works fine on the individual pins, but when I try to add the users#show
link to the Navbar called "Profile" it does not navigate anywhere. The Profile link should navigate to users#show
, but the URL is showing for Profile is my pins#index
which is my root route. Here are the links in my Navbar under _header.html.erb
.
<div class="nav-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav pull-right">
<% if user_signed_in? %>
<li><%= link_to "Add Trip", new_pin_path %></li>
<li><%= link_to "About", about_path %></li>
<li><%= link_to "Profile", @user %></li>
<li><%= link_to "Logout", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete %></li>
<% else %>
<li><%= link_to "About", about_path%></li>
<li><%= link_to "Login", new_user_session_path %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
Here is my users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
@pins = @user.pins.page(params[:page]).per_page(20)
end
end
But the show user link on the pins in _pin.html.erb
which is rendered in my pins#index
works fine.
<div class="box">
<p class= "description">
<%= pin.description %>
</p>
<%= link_to (image_tag pin.image(:medium)), pin %>
<p class= "author">
<strong>
Posted by <%= link_to pin.user.name, pin.user %>
</strong>
</p>
</div>
Lastly, if I copy the same link that is in _pin.html.erb
<%= link_to pin.user.name, pin.user %>
to the Navbar, I get undefined local variable or method
pin' for #<#:0x00000100c82520>`.
Here is my routes.rb
incase that helps.
devise_for :users
match 'users/:id' => 'users#show', as: :user
