Your show action will usually be supplied with a :id parameter (since show usually means show me this particular user) via the url (eg / users/123) or query parameters. On the other hand it sounds like when you link to your home action in the pages controller you're not supplying an id parameter, and so params[:id] is nil, so User.find(params[:id]) can't work. Which user did you want to show? Fred > > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
