Issues with update action using acts_as_votable - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm currently getting the votes to hit the database but I'm now having issues getting the update action to work in my controller. The votes don't record with the update action but do without out it. However, I then get a missing template error for Pits#update. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Terminal Error

Not sure about everything you have going on here, but I suspect the error has to do with use current_user to find the pit. If the current_user is not the user_id for the pit, it won't find any pit (exactly your error).
Try adjusting to this and it should be able to find the pit propperly.
def update
#pit = Pit.find(pit_params[:id])
if #pit.update_attributes(pit_params)
redirect_to #pit
end
