One to many parse

I would like to create a one to many object but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is my code below.

- (IBAction)Send {

    // Create a new Post object and create relationship with PFUser
    PFObject *newPost = [PFObject objectWithClassName:@"Post"];
    [newPost setObject:[self.textField text] forKey:@"textContent"];
    [newPost setObject:[PFUser currentUser] forKey:@"author"]; // One-to-Many relationship created here!

    //Set ACL permissions for added security
    PFACL *postACL = [PFACL ACLWithUser:[PFUser currentUser]];
    [postACL setPublicReadAccess:YES];
    [newPost setACL:postACL];

    // Save new Post object in Parse
    [newPost saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
        if (!error) {
            //[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; // Dismiss the viewController upon success
            NSLog(@"Error");
        }
    }];
}

What do you get from this code? Are you sure about the one-to-many relationship? Because you create a new post and you set an author for that post, this is a one-to-one relationship, for an author you can have multiple posts, that is the one-to-many, am I wrong? :)

I got the code from the parse one to many tutorial. What should I be doing differently? I am trying to do this for a messaging app if that helps.

The code seems to be correct if every author can have many posts. Exactly, what is the result you want to obtain?

I would like it to take the text from a textfield and upload to parse. However it does not seem to be uploading.

Did you get an error somewhere? Since the code is correct, the only thing that I can image is that you are not logged with a user. If you are not logged in, [PFUser currentUser] returns NULL and then you get an exception.
