3,706 PointsCan't get statuses to appear on profiles controller
I am currently on the "testing the profiles controller" exercise on "building a simple ruby on rails app" learning adventure.
I am having a problem because when I write the code to display the "statuses" (In my application I call them logs) it displays the html or the console information instead of the proper front end display with the image, and bootrap customization.
here is what is displayed when I run my app:
Log id: 1, description: "einstein", created_at: "2013-11-26 06:09:06", updated_at: "2013-11-26 06:09:06", user_id: 1, image_file_name: "93434191-einstein-tongue_custom-36fb0ce35776dc2d92e...", image_content_type: "image/jpeg", image_file_size: 52317, image_updated_at: "2013-11-26 06:09:03"
Here is the code I wrote in the profiles/show page:
<div class="page-header"> <h1> <%= @user.username%> </h1> </div>
<% @logs.each do |log| %> <%= log.inspect %> <% end %>
the log.content command doesn't work for me like in the lesson.
Any help would be appreciated!

You say that .content isn't working here, which I am not sure why, can you post what happens if you do use the .content on log instead of inspect. This method still works in Rails 4 so there really isn't any reason it shouldn't be working.
Also keep in mind all your styling aspects such as <div> tags etc should all be inside the <% @logs.each do |log| %> <% end %>
For example with bootstrap classes for styling, you would do.
<% @statuses.each do |status| %>
<div class="container">
<div class="status">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-7">
<b><%= status.user.full_name %></b>
<p><%= status.content %></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>

3,706 PointsHi Casey,
I am getting a NoMethodError
undefined method `content' for #<Log:0x007f96d5872be8>

16,708 PointsWhat this means is that your log object is uninitialized. Check in your log_controller.rb file and see if you have something like the following. (I used status in the example just change it to your object name.) The @objectname = Object.new is what you need to make sure it is initializing the object.
def new
@status = Status.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: @status }
end

3,706 PointsI added the initializer like so to my log_controller.rb file:
def new
@log = Log.new
@log = current_user.logs.build
end
but still no luck :/
btw happy thanksgiving! lol

16,708 PointsHm that's odd. The only reason I can think that it would be throwing that error is because it isn't being initialized properly. If you have posted this to github could I get a link? If not could you possible upload it so I could download the source and see if I can come up with a solution that way.
