Rails 4: Friendly_id gem finding users by username - ruby-on-rails

I have a rails 4 app where I am trying to create permalinks with friendly_id gem based upon a users "username". The error I receive when I try to create a permalink based upon a users username is "undefined method username=" and it points to my User_controller Here is my code so far.
Users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController
before_action :signed_in_user, only: [:edit, :update]
before_action :correct_user, only: [:edit, :update]
def index
#users = User.all
end
def show
#user.username = User.friendly.find(params[:id])
end
def new
#user = User.new
end
def edit
end
def update
if #user.update_attributes(user_params)
flash[:success] = "Profile updated"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def create
#user = User.new(user_params)
if #user.save
sign_in #user
flash[:success] = "Welcome to the Sample App!"
redirect_to #user #edit_user_path(current_user)
else
render 'new'
end
end
def following
#title = "Following"
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#users = #user.followed_users.paginate(page: params[:page])
render 'show_follow'
end
def followers
#title = "Followers"
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#users = #user.followers.paginate(page: params[:page])
render 'show_follow'
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :username, :email, :password,
:password_confirmation)
end
def signed_in_user
unless signed_in?
store_location
redirect_to signin_url, notice: "Please sign in."
end
end
def correct_user
#user = User.friendly.find(params[:id])
redirect_to(root_url) unless current_user?(#user)
end
def career_finder
end
end
User.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :username, use: [:slugged, :finders]

To lookup the user by friendly_id:
def show
#user = User.friendly.find(params[:id])
end
This is covered in the readme for friendly_id

Rails__Association Relationships

I have 2 models:
User model and Profile Model.
My association is as follows:
Class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :profile
end
Class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
validates user_id, presence: true
end
My Controllers is as follows:
USER:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
if logged_in?
#micropost = current_user.microposts.build
#profile = current_user.build_profile
#new_comment = Comment.build_from(#user, current_user.id, ' ')
end
#microposts = #user.microposts.paginate(page: params[:page])
#profile_player = #user.profile
end
end
PROFILE:
class ProfilesController < ApplicationController
before_action :logged_in_user, only: [:create, :destroy]
before_action :correct_user, only: [:destroy]
def create
#profile = current_user.build_profile(profile_params)
if #profile.save
flash[:success] = 'Profile Has Been Published'
# redirect_to request.referrer || root_url
redirect_to users_url
else
render :'pages/home'
end
end
def update
#profile.update(profile_params)
redirect_to user_url
end
def destroy
end
private
def profile_params
params.require(:profile).permit(:name, :age, :nationality, :country, :city, :height, :weight,
:dominant_hand, :play_position, :highschool, :college, :team,
:awards, :highlights)
end
def correct_user
#profile = current_user.profile.find_by(id: params[:id])
redirect_to root_url if #profile.nil?
end
end
Now, what I'm trying to do is render the profile view partial in the user show page (following Michael Hartl's tutorial):
hence I'm rendering the view via the instance variable I created in Users Controller show action for profile:
def show
##username = params[:id] ==============> this is intended to show the user name instead
# of the user id in the address bar
#user = User.find(params[:id])
if logged_in?
#micropost = current_user.microposts.build
#profile = current_user.build_profile
#new_comment = Comment.build_from(#user, current_user.id, ' ')
end
#microposts = #user.microposts.paginate(page: params[:page])
#profile_player = #user.profile
end
so, in my user show page:
I'm rendering the profile view like this:
Now here is the error I run into, my profile saves correctly when the form is submitted, however, when I return to the User show page (I'm rendering the profile form in the user home page) to view the profile, I get the error:
'nil' is not an ActiveModel-compatible object. It must implement :to_partial_path.
<div class="current-user-persona">
<%= render #profile_player %> =====> highlighted section for error
</div>
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, can you help me?
been staring at this for days.

Pundit rescue_from not redirecting or displaying alert message when non-user accesses posts/new

I'm trying to add authorization to my rails app and want to redirect a non-user to root_url when they try to access posts/new, using rescue_from. However, there is no redirect to root or error message being displayed and I'm not sure why.
This is my application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include Pundit
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
rescue_from Pundit::NotAuthorizedError do |exception|
redirect_to root_url, alert: exception.message
end
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :name
end
end
This is application_policy.rb
class ApplicationPolicy
attr_reader :user, :record
def initialize(user, record)
#user = user
#record = record
end
def index?
false
end
def show?
scope.where(:id => record.id).exists?
end
def create?
user.present?
end
def new?
create?
end
def update?
user.present? && (record.user == user || user.admin?)
end
def edit?
update?
end
def destroy?
update?
end
def scope
record.class
end
class Scope
attr_reader :user, :scope
def initialize(user, scope)
#user = user
#scope = scope
end
def resolve
scope
end
end
end
This is post_policy.rb
class PostPolicy < ApplicationPolicy
def new
#post = Post.new
authorize #post
end
end
This is posts_controller.rb
class PostsController < ApplicationController
def index
#posts = Post.all
end
def show
#ApplicationController::Find
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
end
def new
#post = Post.new
end
def create
#post = current_user.posts.build(params.require(:post).permit(:title, :body))
if #post.save
flash[:notice] = "Post was saved."
redirect_to #post
else
flash[:error] = "There was an error saving the post. Please try again."
render :new
end
end
def edit
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
if #post.update_attributes(params.require(:post).permit(:title, :body))
flash[:notice] = "Post was updated."
redirect_to #post
else
flash[:error] = "There was an error saving the post. Please try again."
end
end
end
The issue was that I defined another new method in the post_policy.rb file, overwriting the new method in application_policy.rb. I also didn't include authorize #post in the new method in the posts_controller.rb file.

rails 4. how to create actions using relationships between three models?

I would like to create relationships between three models: user, post and comment.
User have many posts and comments
Post have only one user and many comments
Comment have one user and one post
so i create next migrations:
class Users < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :users do |t|
t.string :name
t.string :email
t.timestamps
end
end
end
class Posts < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :posts do |t|
t.string :content
t.integer :user_id
t.timestamps
end
end
end
class Comments < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :comments do |t|
t.string :title
t.string :content
t.integer :user_id
t.integer :post_id
t.timestamps
end
end
end
=============================================
models are next:
user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :posts
has_many :comments
end
post.rb
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
has_many :comments
end
comment.rb
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :post
end
===============================================
My users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController
before_action :signed_in_user, only: [:index, :edit, :update, :destroy]
before_action :correct_user, only: [:edit, :update]
before_action :admin_user, only: :destroy
def index
#users = User.paginate(page: params[:page])
end
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#posts = #user.posts.paginate(page: params[:page])
#comments = #user.comments.paginate(page: params[:page])
end
def new
#user = User.new(params[:user])
end
def edit
##user = User.find(params[:id])
end
def update
##user = User.find(params[:id])
if #user.update_attributes(user_params)
flash[:success] = "Profile updated"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def destroy
User.find(params[:id]).destroy
flash[:success] = "User deleted."
redirect_to users_url
end
def create
#user = User.new(user_params)
if #user.save
flash[:success] = "Welcome to the Sample App!"
redirect_to #user
else
render 'new'
end
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password,
:password_confirmation)
end
# Before filters
def correct_user
#user = User.find(params[:id])
redirect_to(root_url) unless current_user?(#user)
end
def admin_user
redirect_to(root_url) unless current_user.admin?
end
end
now i want to create some actions for next tasks:
For posts_controller.rb
1.1 create a post by user
1.2 delete a post by user
1.3 show user post with all comments
1.4 show all user posts
class PostsController < ApplicationController
before_action :signed_in_user, only: [:create, :destroy]
before_action :correct_user, only: :destroy
def create
#post = user.post.build(post_params)
#post = post.save
end
def destroy
#post.destroy
end
def show_user_post_with_all_comments
???
end
def show_all_user_posts
???
end
private
def post_params
params.require(:post).permit(:title, :content)
end
def correct_user
#post = current_user.posts.find_by(id: params[:id])
redirect_to root_url if #post.nil?
end
end
For comments_controller.rb
2.1 create a comment by user in post
2.2 delete a comment by user in post
2.3 show all user comments
2.4 find and show a post by user comment
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
before_action :signed_in_user, only: [:create, :destroy]
before_action :correct_user, only: :destroy
def create
#comment = user.comment.build(comment_params)
#comment = comment.save
end
def destroy
#comment.destroy
end
def show_comment
???
end
def show_all_user_comments
???
end
def find_and_show_post_by_user_comment
???
end
private
def comment_params
params.require(:comment).permit(:content)
end
def correct_user
#comment = current_user.comments.find_by(id: params[:id])
redirect_to root_url if #comment.nil?
end
end
Pls check for correct my migrations and models and help me with creating of actions with "???" in bodies
Thank you much for your answers.
PostsController
def show_user_post_with_all_comments
#post = Post.find(params[:id]).eager_load(:comments)
end
def show_all_user_posts
#posts = current_user.posts
end
CommentsController
def show_comment
#comment = Comment.find(params[:id])
end
def show_all_user_comments
#comments = current_user.comments
end
def find_and_show_post_by_user_comment
#comment = Comment.find(params[:id]).eager_load(:post)
#post = #comment.post
end
What I've done in the past in a similar situation would be to put all this work in the UsersController and add a few new actions to it:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
...
def new_post
#user = User.find(params[:id])
end
def create_post
#user = User.find(params[:id])
if #user.update_attributes user_post_params
redirect_to somewhere_path
else
render 'new_post'
end
end
def show_post
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
# Not sure how you are implementing sessions, but say you have current_user defined
# for sessions, then your view could have a delete link conditional on
# #post.user_id == current_user.id
#comments = #post.comments
end
def show_all_posts
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#posts = #user.posts
end
def new_comment
#user = current_user
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
end
def create_comment
#user = current_user
#post = Post.find(params[:id])
#comment = Comment.new(comment_params)
if #post.update_attributes comment_params
#user.comments << #comment
if #user.save
redirect_to somewhere
else
render 'new_comment'
end
else
render 'new_comment'
end
end
def show_comments
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#comments = #user.comments
end
...
private
def user_post_params
params.require(:user).permit(:id, posts_attributes: [:title, :content])
end
def comment_params
params.require(:post).permit(:id, comments_attributes: [:content, :user_id])
end
In show_post.html.erb:
<% if #post.user_id == current_user.id %>
<%= link_to 'delete', post, method: :delete, data: { confirm: "you sure?" }
<% end %>
in your routes.rb:
get '/user/:id/new_post' => 'users#new_post', as: :user_new_post
put '/user/:id/create_post' => 'test_takers#create_post', as: :user_create_post
...and similar lines for the other actions.
Hopefully this can get you started...

How do you create a current_user method without using devise

I want to create a Current_User method but I don't want to use a gem or similar. How would I do that in Rails 4.1.2
Questions_Controller where i want the current_user method.
class QuestionsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :auth, only: [:create, :your_questions, :edit, :update]
# def index
# #question = Question.new
# #questions = Question.unsolved(params)
# end
#questions = current_user.your_questions(params[:page])
def your_questions(page)
questions.paginate(page: page, order: 'created_at DESC', per_page: 3)
end
def self.unsolved(params)
order('created_at DESC').where(solved: false).paginate(page: params[:page],per_page: 3)
end
def create
#question = current_user.questions.build(params[:question])
if #question.save
flash[:success] = 'Your question has been posted!'
redirect_to #question
else
#questions = Question.unsolved(params)
render 'index'
end
end
def new
#question = Question.new
end
def show
# raise FOO
puts params
#question = Question.find(params[:id])
#answer = Answer.new
end
def your_questions
#questions = current_user.your_questions(params[:page])
# current_user.your_questions(params[:id])
end
def edit
#question = current_user.questions.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#question = current_user.questions.find(params[:id])
if #question.update_attributes(params[:question])
flash[:success] = 'Your question has been updated!'
redirect_to #question
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def search
#questions = Question.search(params)
end
end
My user model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :questions
has_many :answers
# attr_accessible :username, :password, :password_confirmation
has_secure_password
# validates :username, presence: true, uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false },
# length: { in: 4..12 },
# format: { with: /A[a-z][a-z0-9]*z/, message: 'can only contain lowercase letters and numbers' }
validates :password, length: { in: 4..8 }
validates :password_confirmation, length: { in: 4..8 }
def your_questions(page)
questions.paginate(page: page, order: 'created_at DESC', per_page: 3)
end
end
My application controller
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
# protect_from_forgery
helper_method [:current_user, :logged_in?]
protected
private
def login(user)
session[:user_id] = user.id
end
def current_user
current_user ||= User.find(session[:user_id]) if session[:user_id]
end
def logged_in?
!current_user.nil?
end
def auth
redirect_to login_url, alert: 'You must login to access that page' unless logged_in?
end
end
If there are more files you want me to add to the question please comment im a novice ruby on rails developer :)
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
helper_method :current_user
private
def current_user
#current_user ||= User.find(session[:user_id]) if session[:user_id]
end
end
I think your problem is not in the controller but in you helpers.
It is calling methods which are looking for a local variable current_user and there isn't one. You need to instantize these like this:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
helper_method [:current_user, :logged_in?]
private
def login(user)
session[:user_id] = user.id
end
def current_user
#current_user ||= User.find(session[:user_id]) if session[:user_id]
end
def logged_in?
!current_user.nil?
end
def auth
redirect_to login_url, alert: 'You must login to access that page' unless logged_in?
end
end
Like #RafalG. stated see the # in front of current_user. This will create an instance variable to track around instead of referencing a local variable that is missing.
Also note your current current_user method will always run the User.find because the local variable current_user will always be nil inside this scope, thus why you need to make it part of the instance.
UPDATE
I will leave the above for edification because you should still create an instance. I think this is the real issue
class QuestionsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :auth, only: [:create, :your_questions, :edit, :update]
# def index
# #question = Question.new
# #questions = Question.unsolved(params)
# end
#vvvv This Line is out of a scope and will raise errors vvv#
#questions = current_user.your_questions(params[:page])
def your_questions(page)
questions.paginate(page: page, order: 'created_at DESC', per_page: 3)
end
....
end
If you want to do this you would declare it in a before_filter call back because right now Rails has no idea how to handle this statement appropriately and outside of a method it will not have access to any of your helpers.
