Ruby on Rails - Problems with controller method show in views - ruby-on-rails

Right now i am finishing my small learning project but I am sturggling with one thing. The funcionalities of the project are: register, login, logout for the Author; creating, editing, removing of the Events; attend, un-attend event.
Last thing what I want to implement is, to be able to see who is attending certain event. The functionality of attending / un-attending is already done (made a table Eventattendences with references to events and author).
The only thing which is missing is showing WHO is attending different event (that means to show Authors_key from the eventattendances table where events_id is equal in my show.html.erb). When i am trying to do that i always get an empty object from the SHOW method of eventattendacnes_controller.
Adding here all the code that should be related to this (if anything is missing just let me know and I will add it here). THANK YOU!

end

In first place, if you are rendering the views/events/show you could do
<% #event.eventattendances.map do |eventattendance| %>
<tr>
<td><%= eventattendance.author_id %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
to get the author_id.
But thinking better, maybe you are having a problem of relations and you need a
has and belongs to many association

The solution was to put it into the show method of events_controller.rb (instead of eventattendances_controller)
#eventattendances = Eventattendance.find_by(events_id: params[:id])
+
to change the arguments of the find:
from (events_id= params[:event_id]) to (events_id: params[:id])
(maybe it is going to help someone in the future)

Rails - routing to a parent show page with a child_id

I would like to route to the parent (journal) show page after deleting the child (habit) using the child_id.
In my app, a User can create journals, which then have multiple habits. I would like to be able to delete (and edit) a habit and then return to the journal show page, which displays all of the habits.
Getting the following and similar errors:
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in HabitsController#destroy
journal.rb
class Journal < ApplicationRecord
has_many :entries
has_many :habits
belongs_to :user
end
habit.rb
class Habit < ApplicationRecord

end
def set_journal
#journal = Journal.find(params[:journal_id])
end

#habit = Habit.find(params[:id])
end
end
Your trying to create URL to a deleted resource (#habit).
Change
def destroy
#habit.destroy
redirect_to journal_path(#habit, #journal)
end
to

#habit.destroy
redirect_to journal_path(#journal)

Clicking on a Username of another user links to my profile instead of the user's profile

I need help with this my code,that displays list of posts of users along with their username.What i want is, when i click on a username of a particular post, it should send me to that user's profile. instead, it send's to my own profile or the current user's profile whiles i want it to link me to the username i have clicked profile. (e.g like when you click on a username on Instagram, it links you to the user's profile so you can follow or unfollow and see their post)
Please i need help. what i'm i not doing right in my code.
i'm on rails 5.2.3 & ruby 2.3.3

end
home controller
class HomeController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!
def index
#posts = Post.order(created_at: :desc).page(params[:page]).per(5)

I guess the problem is that on the show method from users_controller, you are getting the posts from current_user instead of the user, it should be #posts = #user.posts.order(created_at: :desc)

how to make my created award object become assigned to a car object?

I am new to rails and building my first app. I can't figure how to assign a car_id to new instances of awards that get created with the views/awards/new.html.erb file. Can anyone take a look and see where I am going wrong?
awards controller:
class AwardsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_award, only: [:show]
def new
#award = Award.new
end
def index
#awards = Award.all
end
def create
#car = Car.params
#award = Award.new(award_params)
#award.save
redirect_to user_path(current_user)
end
def show
end
def destroy
end
private
def set_award
#award = Award.find(params[:id])
end
def award_params
params.require(:award).permit(:title, :year, :description)
end
end
cars controller
class CarsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_car, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
def new
#car = Car.new
end
def index
#cars = Car.all
end
def create
#car = Car.new(car_params)
#car.save
current_user.cars << #car
redirect_to current_user, :flash => { :success => "car created!" }
end
def edit
end
def update
#car.update(car_params)
if #car.valid?
#car.save
redirect_to user_path(current_user)
else
render :edit
end
end
def show
#car = Car.find(params[:id])
end
def destroy
#car.destroy
redirect_to user_path(current_user)
end
private
def set_car
#car = Car.find(params[:id])
end
def car_params
params.require(:car).permit(:make,:model,:year,:color)
end
end

<%= f.label :description %>
<%= f.text_area :description %><br>

I need to be able to assign awards to specific cars, does anyone know how I can go about doing this?
Since you are using nested routes:
resources :cars do
resources :awards
end
Then:
app/controllers/awards_controller.rb
class AwardsController < ApplicationController
# add more into the array as you need
before_action :set_car, only: [:new, :create]
def new
#award = #car.awards.new
end
def create
#award = #car.awards.new(award_params)
#award.save
redirect_to user_path(current_user)
end
private
def set_car
#car = Car.find(params[:car_id])
end
end
app/views/awards/new.html.erb
<%= form_for [#car, #award] do |f| %>
...
Trivia:
because you are using nested routes, then your links would be something like:
<%= link_to 'New Award', new_car_award_path(SOMECAR) %>
<%= link_to 'Awards', car_awards_path(SOMECAR) %>
<%= link_to 'Edit Award', edit_car_award_path(SOMECAR, SOMEAWARD) %>
<%= link_to 'Delete Award', car_award_path(SOMECAR, SOMEAWARD), method: :delete %>
...just replace SOMECAR and SOMEAWARD with a Car and Award instances respectively, that you want to be in that link.
Recommendations:
handle validations errors. See tutorial
If possible, use shallow nesting

Trying to have 2 forms pass to 2 different controllers from one view

I have 2 forms in one view one is displayed if the user is a moderator and the other if it is a normal user and they both send the information to 2 different controllers. My problem is that if its a normal user, the form that is displayed for them uses the wrong controller.
Here is the coding
categories/new.html.erb
<% if current_user.mod_of_game? #guide %>
<%= form_for([#guide, #category], url: guide_categories_path) do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>
<%= f.label :name, "Category name" %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.submit "Next" %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<%= form_for([#guide, #check_category], url: check_category_post_path) do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>
<%= f.label :name, "Category name" %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.submit "Next" %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Categories controller
before_action :mod_checker, only: [:create]
def new
#guide = Guide.friendly.find(params[:guide_id])
#category = Guide.friendly.find(#guide.id).categories.new
#check_category = CheckCategory.new
end
def create
#guide = Guide.friendly.find(params[:guide_id])
#category = Guide.friendly.find(#guide.id).categories.new(category_params)
if ((#category.save) && (current_user.mod_of_game? #guide))
flash[:info] = "guide category added succesfully!"
redirect_to #guide
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def category_params
params.require(:category).permit(:name)
end
def mod_checker
#guide = Guide.friendly.find(params[:guide_id])
unless current_user.mod_of_game? #guide
flash[:danger] = "Sorry something went wrong!"
redirect_to root_path
end
end
check_categories controller
def new
end
def create
if #check_category.save
flash[:info] = "Game category added successfully. A mod will apporve it shortly."
redirect_to #guide
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def check_category_params
params.require(:check_category).permit(:name)
end
and the routes
resources :guides do
resources :categories, only: [:new, :create, :edit, :update]
end
resources :check_categories, only: [:new, :edit, :update]
match 'guides/:guide_id/categories/' => 'check_categories#create', :via => :post, as: :check_category_post
sorry the coding is a bit messy, the 4 spaces to put it in a code block was spacing my coding weird.
When i have a non moderator user submit the form, the before action in the categories controller is run and I'm redirected to the homepage. I don't know why it does this because the submit path should go to the check_categories controller for non moderator users, the check_categories controller doesn't have the before filter.
Why does it use the before filter in the controller I'm not using for that form? How can I fix it?
Building this app to learn rails better. So I can only assume lack of rails knowledge is causing me to do something wrong.
Bad practice to have two forms with identical code (apart from the path) - goes against DRY Don't Repeat Yourself.
As mentioned by #Akash, this sounds like a job for authorization.
Further, it also denotes that you have issues with the underlying structure of your code. Specifically, you have an antipattern with CheckCategory (you can put it all into the Category model):
#config/routes.rb
resources :guides do
resources :categories, only: [:new, :create, :edit, :update] do
patch :approve, on: :member
end
end
#app/models/category.rb
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
before_action :set_guide
def new
#category = current_user.categories.new
flash[:notice] = "Since you are not a moderator, this will have to be approved." unless current_user.mod_of_game? #guide
end
def create
#category = current_user.categories.new category_params
#category.guide = #guide
#category.save
end
def approve
#category = #guide.categories.find params[:id]
#category.approve
end
private
def set_guide
#guide = Guide.find params[:guide_id]
end
end
#app/views/categories/new.html.erb
<%= form_for [#guide, #category] do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>
<%= f.label :name, "Category name" %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.submit "Next" %>
<% end %>
The above will solve most of your structural issues.
--
To fix the authorization issue, you'll be best denoting whether the category is "approved" in the model:
#app/models/category.rb
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
enum status: [:pending, :approved]
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :guide
validates :user, :guide presence: true
before_create :set_status
def approve
self.update status: "approved"
end
private
def set_status
self[:status] = "approved" if self.user.mod_of_game? self.guide
end
end
--
If I understand correctly, you want to allow anyone to create a category, but none-mods are to have their categories "checked" by a moderator.
The code above should implement this for you.
You will need to add a gem such as CanCan CanCanCan to implement some authorization:
#app/views/categories/index.html.erb
<% #categories.each do |category| %>
<%= link_to "Approve", guide_category_approve_path(#guide, category) if category.waiting? && can? :update, Category %>
<% end %>
Use "Cancan" Gem and give authorization

Parameter is missing or the value is empty?

I am trying to access an "edit" link to edit an object, but I'm getting this error:
Param is missing or the value is empty: preview
Basically, I have 2 models that I linked through association:
Game model
Review model
I'm rendering reviews in the Game's show page. When I try to edit a review, it's saying I'm missing params or the value is empty in the Reviews controller.
The routes are also nested. How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance :)
routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
root "games#index"

resources :news
resources :reviews, except: [:show, :index]
resources :previews, except: [:show, :index]
end

<%= r.submit %>
<% end %>
Reviews controller
class PreviewsController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!
before_action :set_preview, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
before_action :set_game
def new
#preview = Preview.new
end
def create
#preview = Preview.new(preview_params)
#preview.user_id = current_user.id
#preview.game_id = #game.id
#preview.username = current_user.username
if #preview.save
redirect_to :back
flash[:notice_submit] = "Thanks for you comment!"
else
redirect_to :back
flash[:notice_submit] = "Either you've already voted, or you're not filling in all forms."
end
end
def edit
#preview.update(preview_params)
redirect_to #game
end
def destroy
#preview.destroy
redirect_to #game
end
private
def set_preview
#preview = Preview.find(params[:id])
end
def set_game
#game = Game.find(params[:game_id])
end
def set_user
#user = User.find(params[:user_id])
end
def preview_params
params.require(:preview).permit(:title, :content, :vote)
end
end
You are getting this error because in your preview_params you are requiring a preview object.
I think your controller logic for the edit action is invalid. For the edit action, you just need to set_preview and then render the edit template. The current logic in your edit action should go in an update action.
def edit
end
def update
#preview.update(preview_params)
redirect_to #game
end
Also the first line of your form should be:
<%= form_for [#game, #preview] do |r| %>
