OK - I managed to figure it out myself using: user_id = current_user.id @posts = Post.find_all_by_user_id(user_id)
That works great for the index method. Where I'm having trouble now is the Show method. As it stands, clicking on the title of one of the projects calls the Show method like http://localhost:3000/projects/1 The problem is, if the user types manually into the address bar, they could call up whichever project id they want. Can someone give me a hand with the show method. I'm thinking that an If statement checking to see if the project.user_id for the project.id in the parameter match. If not, redirect. If so, then go ahead and show the project record. I'm not sure of syntax: def show user_id = current_user.id If user_id = :id then @post = Post.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.html # show.html.erb format.xml { render :xml => @post } end Else redirect_back_or_default('/projects') end if end Vince Gilbert wrote: > Thank you very much for the help.
