Body
According to <a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html" rel="nofollow">http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html</a> I should be able to define the path from a different controller as I have done in my create action in my micropostscontroller: <pre><code>def create @micropost = current_user.microposts.build(params[:micropost]) if @micropost.save flash[:success] = "Micropost created!" redirect_to profile_path else render 'static_pages/profile' end end </code></pre> When I unsuccessfully create a post, however (leave it blank or make it too long), the page '/microposts' is rendered, the nonexistent home page of the controller. When I successfully create a micropost I am redirected to the profile path '/profile', and when I've changed <code>render 'static_pages/profile'</code> to <code>redirect_to profile_path</code> the redirect works. Why is the browser ignoring the render request and going to the microposts controller home? Additionally, the rendered microposts page gives a NoMethodError: <pre><code>NoMethodError in Microposts#create undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass <% provide(:title, @user.name) %> app/views/static_pages/profile.html.erb:16:in `_app_views_static_pages_profile_html_erb___1610169404003779010_70327969935820' app/controllers/microposts_controller.rb:10:in `create' </code></pre> The profile renders fine on its own when when redirected to, as @user is defined in profile action in the static_pages controller. <code>@user = User.find_by_remember_token(cookies[:remember_token])</code>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
