Hey Michael Nickey -

Looking over your code, it looks like the problem is that you don't have a name field on your status model (you used to have it, but then you removed it in this commit). Because you're trying to reference that field (with <%= f.text_field :name %>) but it doesn't exist, Rails is throwing an error.

Hopefully that helps :)

So I thought the same thing but even when I comment out the line, save it, do a 'rake db:migrate', refresh I get the same error:

undefined method `name' for #<Status:0x007fc67bb02fb8>

<div class="field">
<%= f.label :name %><br>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :content %><br>

add_user_id_to_statuses.rb

class AddUserIdToStatuses < ActiveRecord::Migration
    def change
        add_column :statuses, :user_id, :integer
        add_index :statuses, :user_id
#    remove_column :statuses, :name
    end
end

Still looking for more help on this...

I'm thinking of scraping and rebooting the entire process. One thing I'd like to know beforehand though is what version of RoR is this using?

The reason I ask is because I currently am using version 4 which is why I was running into issues with the refresh and hover effects. It seems that this version includes a gem called 'TurboLinks' which caches pages for faster use. Once this was removed (commented out) it resolved the issue.

However, since I am using RoR version 4 I want to know two things. 1) Since this project is about halfway done, can I switch back to an older version and if so how? I expect that since some of the code is already done in version 4 it may cause errors... 2) What version of RoR is the Treebook app using? If I start over I'd like to make sure that I use the proper version so I can finally finish this project.

Thanks in advance! :)
