[Rails] Re: nil object - can anyone help?

Are you defining @user in application_controller.rb? I don't see it
defined anywhere in the code you posted. If you're using an
authentication plugin, you probably want to do something like:

@user = current_user

Even then, you'll have to check to see if current_user is nil, unless
that page is only visible to logged in users. You can do this with
something like:

<% if @user && @user.invitation_limit > 0 %>

Also, in your create method you'll want to do something like:

@invitation.sender = @user

or

@invitation.sender = current_user
