hi currently i am making a new project using rails 5, and devise , my problem is that i am trying to get the current user that is logged into my webapp, and then get the current users id and save it into the database.
currently getting a lot of error and having trouble doing so.
my database are the following for the sample
Note this is the default devise setup for the user
User
username
password
email address
blog
title.text
body.text
user_id.integer
now my problem is that how do i get the current user that is logged into my webapp, and then save it into the blog database that contains the user_id. i havent added the blog yet into one of my samples , but i am currently failing at the results that i need to be making and pushing forward into it.
is there a way to scaffold it , or do i need to go commando and hardcode it, if so how is it possible to do so?
get the current user so that it gets the current user id and save it to each blog.
2.how do i push it into the controller
how do i do it into the model as well
i am a bit confused as to how it should be made and done , with rails any help will be appreciated
In your user.rb model
define relationship with user in this way
has_many :blogs
in your bolg.rb model
belongs_to :user
now in your create method in your blog controller
#user = current_user
then
if #user.blogs.create(blog_params)
#your logic
end
This automatically save user_id to database.

I'm relatively new to rails and am using devise for my user sign up and sign in processes. At sign up if a user doesn't have an invite token I would like them to also sign up and create their business that will be associated with their user account.
Below is a screenshot of the error I am getting in my RegistrationsController when trying to create the new business.
Here is my code in the registrations_controller.rb:
if params[:invite_code]
...
else
resource = build_resource({})
resource.businesses.build() # Inserts a blank object for business
respond_with resource
end
Any ideas on why it isn't able to pass the business information provided and create a new business? Thanks in advance for any help.
I think it's just a pluralization issue. The has_one association on the User should be singular (:business) as should the method call in the controller (resource.business.build()) and accepts_nested_attributes_for.
That being said, that part of the controller should never even be getting hit. All of your logic should be contained within this first conditional. Everything happening here should probably be pulled out into another method and called after the successful save. Here's a new gist with a refactoring of registrations_controller.rb: https://gist.github.com/ccschmitz/7ea0a41180e25de9168d
Hi clever programmers,
I've been searching and reading a couple days, but I need some Rails help-
Here is my goal: I want to make a multi-page profile for each user, and I'd like to handle this profile with a profile controller.
The problem? How do I make the 'show' REST action apply to an entire controller instead of just one page? Specifically, how can I have both a #current_user and a #user variable available in the Profile controller that correspond to the signed-in user and the current user's page.
I'm not sure if I should be making routes with multiple :id s in the route or if there is some way to persist the signed-in-user in something like #current_user when they sign in that is just available everywhere and then I would use the :id of the user who's profile it is in the route. I'm pretty sure facebook does something like facebook.com/{your_id}/{their_id}/ for example.
I tried accessing #current_user from my session_helper.rb class but it came up nil and I'm not sure how to pass the :id to use User.find(params[:id]) because the profile controller is not affiliated with the resource for the User model.
Any protips or links to helpful readings would be much appreciated. I'm a beginner so feel free to suggest a better course of action if I'm going against the rails way. Thanks in advance!
You may not know but you can store session data, and user_id it's really common thing that people saves on it.
So for saving at the sign in
session[user_id] = ....
Then you could have something like this on a helper
def current_user
User.find(session[user_id]) if session[user_id]
end
You should check the gem called devise. It provides all the functionality for aunthentication and it also provides a current_user method everywhere. You should check it at least to see how they have implemented that method.
I'm using rails 3.1 with Devise for user authentication...
I'm having trouble either getting the associations between two scaffold generated models working or I'm not accessing it correctly.
I have two models: User (Devise), and Post
I've added the belongs_to :user tag in the Post model and has_many :posts in the User model.
When I open a rails console, rails c from terminal in the app directory, I thought I should be able to reference the Post model through the user model. Such as User.post.count but I keep getting a NoMethodError: undefined method "post" error.
I've been through all the guide.rails.org and back through the railstutorial.org book and I'm definitely missing something somewhere.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Have you added your migrations that adds user_id to the posts table? Without that foreign key, Rails can't figure out which users are associated with which posts.
I'm a newb with Rails and am trying to get out my first Rails 3 app with Devise. I have a situation where pretty much everything on my site is specific to a user. I'm creating a kind of private gallery that isn't public facing, so that every image belongs_to a user and a user has_many images. Here's my issue... I want to rework my routes so that showing a users images doesn't require a user id in the URL. I will be showing a user's images in the user/show route.
current route (from rake:routes):
/users/show(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"users"}
Is it possible to have devise use only "resource" instead of "resources"? so it would be /users/show/? Am I making sense? I am not sure the terminology to ask, but I want all of a user's functionality to imply that I know who the user is, then I can check that in the controllers.
Thanks!
In your controller, for the show action:
def show
#user = current_user
end
That's all you need to do. If you were EXPECTING an id, then you do something like #user = User.find(params[:id], but since you know what user you want (in this case, the current_user, which is exposed by Devise), you don't need to do anything special.
I'm Rails newbie so this might be incredibly stupid question but I hope somebody finds the time to help me :)
I'm currently doing my first Rails 3 application with MongoDB. I have setup Devise for authentication and it's working great. I'm trying to create blog type of app so each registered user can post an article. Naturally user model has "many: posts" and post model has "belongs_to: user" but here's the problem: I don't want to have user_id as a field in the new post form for security reasons so how can I pass the current user to post model? I removed all fields related to user data from the form so now it doesn't seem to be able to get the data for user_id anywhere.
So how do I use Devise's current_user helper method to pass the correct user_id to post model for proper association?
I assume you have a controller action responsible for handling your post creation. In RESTful design that would be create action normally. That action would call a save or create method on your model. Prior to the method call, assign the user_id to your devise's #current_user.id.
