You forgot to update Strong params in section 6.4 (deleting comments) http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html This is your final code: class CommentsController < ApplicationController def create @post = Post.find(params[:post_id]) @comment = @post.comments.create(params[:comment]) redirect_to post_path(@post) end def destroy @post = Post.find(params[:post_id]) @comment = @post.comments.find(params[:id]) @comment.destroy redirect_to post_path(@post) end end It should be: class CommentsController < ApplicationController def create @post = Post.find(params[:post_id]) *@comment = @post.comments.create(params[:comment].permit(:commenter, :body))* redirect_to post_path(@post) end def destroy @post = Post.find(params[:post_id]) @comment = @post.comments.find(params[:id]) @comment.destroy redirect_to post_path(@post) end end -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
