Rails 4: Edit/Update Threads, Edit/Update Posts - ruby-on-rails

Question

Before I begin yes I know I need a edit and update function in the posts and threads controller, but the issue I have is with the forum_post.user details getting lost in the update and the thread duplicating posts after the update, so I removed the code entirely so I can get help solving the problem by posting the controllers themselves.
But you're going to need the routes, before I post it /forum/ is just a fake route to nest the forum_threads/posts in and does not exist outside of it's scope.

before_action :set_forum_thread

#forum_post = #forum_thread.forum_posts.new forum_post_params
#forum_post.user = current_user
if #forum_post.save
redirect_to forum_thread_path(#forum_thread, anchor: "forum_post_#{#forum_post.id}"), notice: "Successfully posted!"
else
redirect_to #forum_thread, alert: "Unable to save your post"
end
end
private
def set_forum_thread
#forum_thread = ForumThread.find(params[:forum_thread_id])
end
def forum_post_params
params.require(:forum_post).permit(:body)
end
end
I know the forum edit path for link_to will be edit_forum_thread_path or just correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the posts edit/delete path I need help with since that controller is nested under forum_threads and using the module forum_threads, I originally figured it would be edit_forum_threads_forum_posts_path but that wasn't it either last time I tried before I removed those functions.

Answer 1

It would be edit_forum_thread_forum_post_path based on your rake routes output.
