Question

I’ve been using the

to_param
    username
end

in my user model so that I can access users by /user/username (instead of ID)

I’m trying to make links to user listings (listings is a nested resource) with:

@listings represent a query on the Listing model

<% @listings.each do |listing| %>

  <%= link_to 'Show', user_listings_url(listing.user_id, listing) %>

<% end %>

But its giving me the user_id instead and I tried querying the listing.user_id into the users model but it just returned and object and I can’t get the simple user/username/listing path to work :/ Any help? Should I not be using to_param?

Answer 1

try this:

<% @listings.each do |listing| %>
  <%= link_to 'Show', user_listings_url([listing.user, listing]) %>
<% end %>

this will link to /user/username/listings/listing_id
