When using Rails 4. You need to tweek the code a bit.

  1. So the first step is adjusting your create method in statuses. When we create a status, we want to make sure the status know to attach itself to a user. your first few lines should look like this:

def create @status = Status.new(status_params) @status.user= current_user //this is the new stuff, so in your "_form" file now, the code knows what you mean when you say "user".

  1. Now we need to allow the user_id to be permitted. right now we only allow name and content. So to do that, at the bottom, your permitted params method should look like this:

def status_params params.require(:status).permit(:user_id, :content) end

  1. So far so good, but we need to manual associate the then last step is to adjust the status model! This associates the user model to the status model:

class Status < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user end
