692 PointsPage not working when I follow instructions
I'm following the instructions on the videos in the "Build a Simple Ruby on Rails Application" videos. I must be using a different version of rails since the attr_accessible method seems to have been removed in the rails version I am using. I am using ruby 2.1.2p95 and rails 4.1.1. When I get to the part where I create relationships between the status and user, the website does not seem to recognize that there is a user connected to the status. I get an error "NoMethodError in Statuses#show" and it says "undefined method 'full_name' for nil:NilClass" I had a similar error while trying to do only the first_name. I'm hoping it's just an issue with different versions of rails and someone might be able to help out fairly easily.

31,756 PointsYea they no longer use attr_accessible in raisl 4 and above. They now use something called strong params. You can install rails 3 to work thru the tutorials exactly as how they have done it. I ran into the same issue when I was doing it.
