    <p>Ok, i hope the title is descriptive enough but here's my problem. (i'm new to rails so let me know if i need more info as well)</p> <p>I have a form to edit a user on <code>edit.html.erb</code> This gets a <code>@user</code> object passed to it. The code on my controller that gets this is:</p> <pre><code>def edit @user = User.find(params[:id]) end </code></pre> <p>I am using that object to pre-populate the fields on the <code>edit.html.erb</code> page. Here are the columns in my database for users:</p> <pre><code>id username name email admin active created_at updated_at </code></pre> <p>My problem is that for some reason the value of <code>email</code> is being left off of the object, thus the values all get shifted left. For example, by using <code>&lt;%= @user.inspect %&gt;</code> on the <code>edit.html.erb</code> page this is what i get:</p> <pre><code>&lt;User id: 2, username: "exampleuser1", name: "Kaylee Kuhic", nickname: "exampleuser1", email: "Default", selected_color_scheme: "0", is_admin: true, active: nil, date_last_logged_in: "2012-08-30 19:28:31", created_at: "2012-08-30 19:28:31", updated_at: nil&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is just a test application i'm tinkering with so i may have moved a column around. Would that affect it? <strong>What is happening between the controller and the view that could be affecting the object?</strong></p> <p>Also, when i run <code>User.find(params[:id])</code> in the rails console i get all the data returned back correctly:</p> <pre><code>&lt;User id: 2, username: "exampleuser1", name: "Kaylee Kuhic", nickname: "exampleuser1", email: "exampleuser1@example.com", selected_color_scheme: "Default", is_admin: true, active: true, date_last_logged_in: nil, created_at: "2012-08-30 19:28:31", updated_at: "2012-08-30 19:28:31"&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any thoughts? Again, sorry if i have left out any vital info.</p>

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.
