Hi guys,

I'm a newbie in ruby and I would just like to know how you set a value
for a field in a table where session[:user_id] matches user.user_id.

I am trying to do this from a submit form in the show.html.erb file
because that is where the other field value is set.

Help would be much appreciated..

<p>
  <b>Title:</b>
  <%=h @post.title %>
</p>

<p>
  <b>Mood:</b>
  <%=h @post.mood %>
</p>

<p>
  <b>Location:</b>
  <%=h @post.location %>
</p>

<p>
  <b>Thoughts:</b>
  <%=h @post.thoughts %>
</p>

<h4>Comments</h4>
<ul>
  <% @post.comments.each do |comment| %>

  <li>
    <%= h comment.comment %><br/>
    <div class = "dateline">
        Posted on <%= comment.created_at.strftime("%B %d, %Y at %I:%M
%p")%>
    </div>
  </li>

  <% end %>
</ul>

<% form_for(:comment, :url => post_comments_path(@post)) do |f| %>
   <p>Comment:<br/>
   <%= f.text_area :comment %></p>
   <%= comment.username.set("User.find_by_id(session[:user_id]).name")
%>
   <%= f.submit "Create" %>
<%end %>

<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(@post) %> |
<%= link_to 'Back', posts_path %>
