The :id plus I want to pass my user_id. How do I pass it using the link_to? Stupid question I know... but I can''t find the answer. John Kopanas http://www.kopanas.com

Is there a pre-built disk image for rmagic on OSX (including image magic and all the other pre-requisites)?

Is it me or is my model getting the created_at from the wrong model! I have a HABTM relationship between Problems and Tags. In one of my controller I do the following: def view @tag = Tag.find_by_name @params[:id] end In my view I do this: <% @tag.problems.each do |problem| %> ... <%= problem.created_at %> ... <% end %> Now, how come the created_at
