Stuck at creating relationship lesson

I see that you have a status belongs_to :user, but you do not have the reciprocal. A user has_many :statuses also. This creates the relationship link between the two fully.

I have fixed the mapping of the relationships. Please check my git commit. I am getting following error when I am trying to access first_name. Also through rails console I checked that the first_name, last_name and profile_name are not getting updated.

undefined method `first_name' for nil:NilClass

Extracted source (around line #5

<p> <strong>Name:</strong> <%= @status.user.first_name%> </p> <p>

Have you completed this lesson?

You are missing many core concepts that are created/explained in the lesson.

I have followed the lesson. I am at 5:52 on the video. When I check the tables first_name, last_name and profile_name is not set.

Changing the application_controller.rb with following code allowed the application to save the first_name, last_name and profile_name. Rails 4 and Devise are not compatible (For custom fields the code needs to be modified.)

<code> class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base # Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception. # For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead. protect_from_forgery with: :exception before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

protected def configure_permitted_parameters devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation, :first_name, :last_name, :profile_name) } end

end </code>

Yes, because of strong_parameters you must tell the devise controller which fields will be used (instead of the default fields email, password, password_conformation). Happy you got it working!
