[Rails] can't config profile page to update data forms and save

Ruby on Rails Wednesday, February 27, 2013

I am new to Rails and I am setting up the user profile and adding fields to it for users to add details to their profile such as career, about me, height, religion, etc. This information is completely different from the registration options (account settings). As of now the profile fields are being recognized as the registration fields, which is incorrect. When I click "Update" on profile page, it redirects to registration page. So the profile page with all those fields have no value atm. The system is not recogonizing that those values should be saved to the user profile. How it should work is when user goes to their page at /users/4 it will present forms for all their profile details. After selecting answers for each options, the user clicks the button "Update" and the profile information saves. The complete opposite is happening as of now, user clicks "Update" and it directs User back to the index (which is the register page) and it acts as if the previous page the User was on (profile page) was trying to fill out information from the registration form...which is incorrect.

Users_controller file (can also find all this information on https://gist.github.com/pwz2k/5047974) :

class UsersController < ApplicationController
def new
@user = User.new
end

def create
@user = User.new(params[:user])
if @user.save
UserMailer.registration_confirmation(@user).deliver
session[:user_id] = @user.id
redirect_to root_url, notice: "Thank you for signing up!"
else
render "new"
end
end

def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
end

def edit
@user = User.find(params[:id])
end

def index
@users = User.all
end

def destroy
User.find(params[:id]).destroy
flash[:success] = "User deleted."
redirect_to users_url
end

def update
@user = User.find(params[:id])
if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
flash[:success] = "Account updated"
redirect_to @user
else
render 'edit'
end
end
end

show.html file:
