13,810 PointsDesigning URLs: Extra Credit
So, I thought "What the hell?" and started working with this extra credit piece. Seemed easy enough; figured out how to get everything to show up in the routes as updates instead of statuses. Got all my links and everything updated just fine. My problem comes in on the loop;
<% @statuses.each do |status| %>
<div class="status">
<strong>Name: <%= status.user_id %></strong>
<p><%= status.content %></p>
<div class="meta">
<%= link_to time_ago_in_words(status.created_at) + " ago", status %>
<span class="admin"> | <%= link_to "Edit", edit_status_path(status) %></span>
<span class="admin"> | <%= link_to "Delete", status, method: :delete, data: { confirm: "Are you sure you want to delete this status?" } %></span>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
I keep getting an issue with switching 'status' inside the loop to 'update' or 'updates'. I realize that it is creating the instance variable 'status' (I think that is the correct term), but even changing those over to update or updates doesn't seem to work.
