I created a user profile page that shows all the listings the user made. Each listing has a 'show' link that links to a new page that shows the listing individually on a different page. I got this to work for the user profile page. I'm using this link
<li><%= link_to "Show", user_listing_path(name: @user.name, id: listing.id) %></li>
However, now I want to create a listings index page that shows all listings of every user. Each listing again should have a 'show' link that links to a page that shows the listing individually. The same link that worked on the user profile page does not work on the listing index page.
I get the following error undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass and it points to
Does anyone know why?
