I am trying to implement edit comment functionality in blog. I am able to create comments on an article and displaying them. When I click "Edit" link for an particular comment of an article, it takes me edit comment form but it does not contains any content. Like when we edit any comment or question on stack overflow, it takes us to edit page with content. But in my case , it takes me to edit page of comment but it is empty( does not contain content of comment). Following is my code files.
comments_controller.rb
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :user_signed_in, except: [:create]
def new
@comment = Comment.new
end
def create
@article = Article.find(params[:article_id])
@comment = @article.comments.build(params[:comment])
@comment.user_id = current_user.id
@comment.save
flash[:success] = "Comment created!"
redirect_to article_path(@comment.article)
end
def edit
@comment = Comment.find(params[:id])
end
def update
@comment = Comment.find(params[:id])
@article = @comment.article
respond_to do |format|
if @comment.update_attributes(params[:comment])
redirect_to @article_path(@article)
else
render :action => "edit"
end
end
def destroy
@comment = Comment.find(params[:id])
@article = Article.find(params[:article_id])
@comment.destroy
redirect_to @article_path(@artilce)
end
end
