[Rails] Re: Struggling to delete posts... Can you help?

I don't see where you are actually passing in the id!

We do something like this:

<%= link_to image_tag("cross.png"), post, :confirm => 'Are you
sure?', :method => :delete, :title => "Delete this post" %>

That gives us an icon to click on and will delete the post by calling
PostsController#destroy

which looks like:

def destroy
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
@post.destroy

respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to(posts_url) }
format.xml { head :ok }
end
end
