Working on my own rails app; having a hard time with create, new, and adding things to the database

Hi everyone,

I’m in the post-tracks, working on projects phase of my Rails learning, and I’m a bit stuck. I will say this is mostly because I’ve been cobbling together different code and seeing what sticks, and sometimes that means that what I made doesn’t work.

Right now I’ve got an app with a functional user database. I’m trying to connect my second database so that each user can add RSS feeds and they will tie in to the user (based on the shared user ID).

I was successful in adding a record through the console where the url is included. However, if I go to my feeds page and try to add a new feed, after the feed is added it looks like this:

As you can see, the url is somehow “lost,” and if I check the record in the console, it has a feedurl of “nil.”

I am also having an issue where destroy just...doesn’t.

I realize that this is a pretty vague question, but I really am hoping that maybe someone could see what’s going on with my controller and tell me what I missed.

One other thing: like I said, I’m not quite sure what the deal is with my code and why it’s not working, partially because I’m cobbling code together from various sources. I might be missing something super obvious...and if so, please let me know.

The main project is here, and the feeds controller is here.

Thanks for looking.

Jim

Edited to add: I just realized that destroy is not working because I didn't write the controller yet. Whoops.
