Hi, I need help about Creating Relationships. When i follow the introduction on this part, i add has_many :statuses and belongs_to :user to each model, and finished the view part. However, when i run server it comes out "undefined method `first_name' for nil:NilClass" in show.html.erb file also the same problem in index file. I already used the Status.delete_all in console. it still don't work. Please advise
OK, I fixed it.

1,740 PointsYeah I am having that same problem, for me, when I go into my console and run User.all I see that my first_name, last_name, and profile_name have not been set (they are just nil). So I tried to delete the user and re-register but again I end up with nil for those three fields, maybe that has something to do with it and is a similar problem to what you're having

1,740 PointsHey, not sure if this will help but I was getting a similar problem. Heres a link to my posting where I posted how I fixed it. I was getting an error that said this: NoMethodError in Statues#show. "undefined method "full_name" for nil:NilClass. Hope that helps some!

5,660 PointsHave you also had to use different bootstrap classes?
There are also a few steps that I didn't have to do, like deleting index.erb and setting accessible attributes to models.

1,740 PointsYoure welcome! Glad it helped. Yeah I didn't have to do the attr_accessible part, not exactly sure what it does and any consequences of not doing it. Yeah had to use a few different class names in bootstrap as well. Just tried to find the equivalent on the bootstrap site lol. Good luck!
