Edit a Status

In the build social features / build a simple ruby on rails application we never got rid of "edit status"

We need to change this to be shown only when the status owner is the same as the current logged in user.

Can we guide each other in making sure we do the right thing here?

Hey Andrew, Try the following:

<% if current_user && current_user == status.user %>
  <%= link_to "Edit status", edit_status_path(status) %>
<% end %>
