Rails basic form issue

I am attempting to create a basic form within rails. I have the form running and can fill in details and submit data, which I can see in the terminal log is being saved. The issue I am having is when I attempt to display the data saved I get the following message " "Couldn't find Editprofile with 'id'=show" and it points to an issue with my show controller.

class EditprofilesController < ApplicationController

def index
    @editprofile = Editprofile.all
end

def show
    @editprofile = Editprofile.find (params[:id])
end

def new
    @editprofile = Editprofile.new
end

def create
@editprofile = Editprofile.new(editprofile_params)

if @editprofile.save
    redirect_to editprofiles_url
else
    render 'new'
end
end 

def editprofile_params
params.require(:editprofile).permit(:image,:fristname, :lastname, :country,) 
end

end

I just can not work out what the issue is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Matt

Are you trying to access your page with http://whatever.domain/editprofiles/show ?

If yes you have to access it with http://whatever.domain/editprofiles/1 ( While 1 being the id of your Editprofile object).

Hi Daniel, thank you so much for replying.

I am pretty new to rails and have been following some instructions on a website called www.guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html and it has a section on how to create a basic form in rails.

Within Views/Editprofiles/New I have a form created with the following code. I have taken the ruby brackets out so it will display. For some reason it wont display it here.

form_for :editprofile, url: editprofiles_path do |f| 

f.label :fristname 
f.text_field :fristname 

  f.label :lastname
  f.text_field :lastname

I checked the source code on the web page and the form action is pointing at editprofiles. The form saved the data no problem.

My routes are set as resources :editprofiles so that looks ok.

So that just leaves my controller settings and honestly its doing my head in as to what I am doing wrong :) I know its something pretty simple but I can't work out why I can't display this information at the following view

http://localhost:3000/editprofiles/show

It just displays ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in EditprofilesController#show Couldn't find Editprofile with 'id'=show

If you can help solve this it would be really appreciated :) It would also ensure I don't lose my sanity!

Regards

Matt
