Oh, thanks that relaly helped, but one more thing- If i assigned posts to anotherposts, through a has_many :anotherposts and belongs_to :posts relationship, how would i do @post = current_user.posts.build(params[:post]) in this situation? Because i dont have the current_user helper anymore, because we are not dealing with users, but with the post that i want to create anotherposts ontop of.
so basically instead of the current_user helper, i want to use the post that the anotherposts is being created on. Do you understand? Hit me with more questions if you want :) I really need help, this shouldn't be difficult at all. Just a minor switch, that i can't get my mind around. Hope you can help! thanks!!
