[Rails] Re: RES: Newb question- method not working

[Rath ---]

<%= @uname = User.find_by_id(session[:user]) %>
or
<%= @uname = User.find_by_id(session[:user].id) %>

This will be cleaner... remember that find_by_XX is the same as 
find(:first, :conditions => ["XX = ?", XX]) or find_all_by_XX returns 
:all

You can check the section "Dynamic attribute-based finders" in
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M000858
