I am relatively new to this and completely lost. I'm trying to make a user's profile page. If the user is an admin, they can see all the users, as well as access and edit/update each user's profile page.
I finally got it to work...but when I logged in as a user I received several errors which can be noted in the accompanying jpgs. The first jpg is the url that I am assuming the user will go to for their profile page. The second jpg (User-Index) is the error I get when I try to access the index page as a non-admin. The third jpg (User-Edit) is the error I get when I try to access the Edit page for a user account as a non-admin. The project can be found at: https://github.com/GBressler/esl-site Any help that could be proved on these issues would be greatly appreciated. Here is my Users Controller: class UsersController < ApplicationController before_action :set_user, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy] def index if current_user.id == 1 @users = User.all else render 'profile_page' end end def show render 'profile_page' authorize! :show, @user @user = User.find(params[:id]) current_user.first_name end def update end def edit authorize! :edit, @user end def destroy end private def set_user @user = User.find(params[:id]) end def user_params params.require(:user).permit(:id, :first_name, :last_name, :email, :username) end end Here's the code for my yet-to-be developed Edit and Profile Page: <h1>hi</h1> <p><%= @user.username %></p> Here's the code for the index page that the admin sees: <h1>Listing users</h1> <!-- START_HIGHLIGHT --> <% if notice %> <p id="notice"><%= notice %></p> <% end %> <!-- END_HIGHLIGHT --> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Username</th> <th></th> <th></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <% @users.each do |user| %> <tr> <td><%= user.first_name %></td> <td><%= user.username %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Show', user %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_user_path(user) if can?(:edit, user)%></td> <td><%= link_to 'Destroy', user, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></td> </tr> <% end %> </tbody> </table> Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/11128/nonadmin-user-page.jpg http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/11129/User-Index.jpg http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/11130/User-Edit.jpg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
