I am wrapping my head around the Rails framework and routes. I am building a site where users can post Rails articles and tips and I've already added a ton of functionality to my site but I am having an issue with nested resources. I want my users to create post. I also want the same user and other users to leave comments on the post. Now, the tricky part is that I need a way for them to edit their own comment. So once they go to a post>comment>edit, I am receiving a No route matches [GET] "/posts/48/comments/edit" and this is from the Post show template. For tht particular post, I can tell by the error that it cannot find the id of that comment to edit it. I am sure that this is nested resources issue but I cant wrap my head on it. Looking at my code, everything seems in tact to me. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any insight.
routes.rb file
