i have to say, this is the most poorly written tutorial i have ever come across. the code is broken and after doing this tutorial over a few times, even taking into consideration the comments’ fixes, it did not work. how this author was able to submit, i have no idea. can someone put up the working source code for this?

Just wanted to say hello all. This is my first post.

I came to learn some great information here.

Well heck, half the file code I pasted did not show up above…let me retry!

class Topic :destroy
end

class Forum :destroy
end

I too am stuck early on; the 960.gs and Typography files are not apparent.

Are there any updates to this tutorial?

These are a few of my files:

class Forum :destroy
end

class Topic :destroy
end

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :content
belongs_to :topic
end

They show up with additional code that you did not construct. I will erase what was automatically generated and retry, but a heads-up would have been nice that we should delete.

Yep – I too am a nub!

Can you share the complete app source code for download? Im also interested in how you use the 960.gs and Typography files. Where goes the reference for these files?

Never mind the never mind, I actually read a tutorial on the internet that really helped me out in getting started. I’m a total noob when it comes to rails but, this is the second rails app that I have worked with. It will take me a while to feel comfortable with Ruby. I’m only on step 8 but I hope that I can finish it and learn a little.
