Status id gets lost when I create the handlebar link/helper

It's telling me Couldn't find Status with id=Status

The whole app is working, including the dropdown for activities. Just when I click on the link in the dropdown for activities, suddenly it thinks my statuses don't have ids.

My app has been perfectly functional up until this moment. I've been working on it 8 months and never had it squawk about status id before. Ever.

Thoughts?

Error should be in app - controllers - statuses_controller

If I change show, then it tells me on my entire views - statuses - show page that users and gravatars and all kinds of things don't exist.

Please help. Thanks!

Hey Naomi Freeman it looks like your issue is on line 74 of application.js.

Currently it says:

path = Routes.status_path(activity.targetable_type);

Which makes sense that it would send in the "Status" model name. Instead, it should be the id:

path = Routes.status_path(activity.targetable_id);

Hope that helps!

Thanks Jason! I will play with it tonight, see if I can make it go. Just elbow-deep in an open data project atm :) Appreciate you taking the time to come answer this.
