Can't get options_for_select to display choices - ruby

I'm working in ruby on rails. Trying to get set-up a drop-down menu for users to choose what state they're from. Is it possible to show the States as an option but record their selection as the state_id?
The .erb file
<% provide(:title, 'New Profile') %>
<%= bootstrap_form_for(#profile) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :name, :autofocus => true, :placeholder => 'Name' %>
<%= f.number_field :age, :placeholder => 'Age' %>
<%= f.form_group :sex, label: { text: "Sex" } do %>
<br>
<%= f.radio_button :sex, 'Male', label: "Male", inline: true %>
<%= f.radio_button :sex, 'Female', label: "Female", inline: true %>
<% end %>
<%= f.text_field :city, :id => 'gmaps-input-address', :placeholder => "City" %>
<%= f.select :state_id, options_for_select(State.pluck(:home_state)), :label => "State", :class => "dropdown-menu" %>
<%= f.submit "Submit", :class =>'btn btn-primary' %>
<% end %>
The database schema for the state's table
create_table "states", force: :cascade do |t|
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
t.string "home_state"
t.string "code"
end
And the schema for the profiles table
create_table "profiles", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "name"
t.integer "age"
t.string "sex"
t.string "city"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
t.integer "user_id"
t.string "home_state"
t.float "longitude"
t.float "latitude"
t.string "aasm_state"
t.integer "state_id"
end

That is definitely possible. You were close, but you need to format your form helper like this to get the desired result:
<%= f.select(:state_id, options_for_select(State.all.collect {|p| [ p.home_state, p.id ]), :label => "State", :class => "dropdown-menu")%>

Using checkboxes to pass multiple strings to array in migration with ruby

Im looking to have a user create a post where they specify what instruments they play. There should be a checkbox for each instrument so the user can select the ones that apply to the post. I was able to display the instruments and their checkboxes in the post creation but I cannot figure out how to save them to the post. I get error ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch.

Rails Associations - user_id states nil Rails 4

I am completely unsure where i am going wrong and it surprises me that i can not figure it out, so any advise would be much appreciated.
i have 2 models userr(recruiters) & feedbackr(recruiters feedback)
[userr model] userr has_many :feedbackr
[feedbackr model] belongs_to :userr
[schema] i have added userr_id column to the table feedbackrs
[feedbackrs_controller] i have added :userr_id to the feedbackr_params
the problem is, when i create a feedback comment as a recruiter & go
into my console and type Feebackr.find(4) (the last created
feedback) the userr_id shows nil - it
is suppose to display the id of the userr(recruiter) that created a
feedback - i am unsure why it is displaying nil as my associations all seem right -
any advise would be much appreciated - i have my files below -
console

Did you want to set the current_user as the userr ?
def create
#feedbackr = Feedbackr.new(feedbackr_params)
#feedbackr.userr = current_user # And make sure the user is authenticated (though you probably did that in your ApplicationController ?)
respond_to do |format|
if #feedbackr.save
format.html { redirect_to dashboard_path, :notice => 'Thank you for your feedback' }
format.xml { render :xml => #feedbackr, :status => :created, :location => [#feedbackr] }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => #feedbackr.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
Assigning #feedbackr.userr = current_user in your feedbackrs_controller.rb file would automatically generate the user_id field. Since currently, you didn't assign anything to user_id when feebackr is being generated, therefore your userr_id = nil.

Form not saving if try to upload image with Paperclip

so paperclip, seems as if there is a different way to get it working every time i use it.
So at the moment i try and submit a form but it fails and re renders the form (which is what its supposed to do if the form does not save).
This is my setup so far
Gemfile
gem "paperclip", "~> 3.0"
Controller
def new
#post = Post.new
end
def create
#user = current_user
#post = #user.posts.new(params[:post])
if #post.save
redirect_to root_path, :notice => 'Post Successfully Created'
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
Post Model
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :category
belongs_to :user
attr_accessible :comments, :title, :category_id, :user_id, :photo
has_attached_file :photo, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" }
end
Form
<%= form_for #post, :class => 'post-form', :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<%= f.label :title, "Title", :class => 'title_label' %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
<%= f.label :category_id, "Choose Category", :class => 'title_label' %>
<%= f.collection_select(:category_id, Category.all, :id, :name, :prompt => "Please Select a Category") %>
<%= f.label :comments, "Comments", :class => 'title_label' %>
<%= f.text_area :comments %><br>
<%= f.file_field :photo %>
<%= f.submit 'Submit', :class => 'btn' %>
<% end %>
My migration to add photo was successful as my schema looks like so
create_table "posts", :force => true do |t|
t.string "title"
t.text "comments"
t.integer "category_id"
t.integer "user_id"
t.datetime "created_at", :null => false
t.datetime "updated_at", :null => false
t.string "photo_file_name"
t.string "photo_content_type"
t.integer "photo_file_size"
t.datetime "photo_updated_at"
end
Can anyone see reason why this is not working as expected?
EDIT
Do i need ImageMagick installed to allow the upload of an image or is this just for rendering an image in the view?
ok so from the comments i have started to try and debug and put this in my view
<%= #post.errors.full_messages %>
I get this returned
["Photo C:/Users/RICHAR~1/AppData/Local/Temp/bitman20130724-5600-agvtgn.png is not recognized by the 'identify' command.", "Photo C:/Users/RICHAR~1/AppData/Local/Temp/bitman20130724-5600-agvtgn.png is not recognized by the 'identify' command."]
Any ideas?
Thanks
Step 1
From paperclip documentation:
ImageMagick must be installed and Paperclip must have access to it. To ensure that it does, on your command line, run which convert (one of the ImageMagick utilities). This will give you the path where that utility is installed. For example, it might return /usr/local/bin/convert.
Then, in your environment config file, let Paperclip know to look there by adding that directory to its path.
In development mode, you might add this line to config/environments/development.rb:
Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin/"
Step 2
For agvtgn.png is not recognized by the 'identify' command. error:
Not sure how you do this in windows, for linux this is what you need to do:
$ which identify
/path/to/identify
Set command_path to that path in config/environments/development.rb:
Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/path/to"
also you need ImageMagick to be installed
http://ganeshprasadsr.blogspot.com/2010/12/paperclip-issue-is-not-recognized-by.html
What I think - You just need to install ImageMagick.
p.s. Windows is the worst development machine. You could install at least a virtual machine running on linux.

How to list the users who LIKE a given Post

I am having trouble figuring out how to list all of the USERS who have LIKED a particular POST. Currently I am using:
<span class="count"><%= dailypost.likes.count %></span>
This has allowed me to count all of the LIKES associated with that particular POST.BUT it does not list the actual users.
I have tried using this to list all of the USERS who LIKED that POST
<%= dailypost.likes %>
Instead I get back:
[#<Like id: 360, dailypost_id: 306, user_id: 1, created_at: "2013-04-28 21:51:45", updated_at: "2013-04-28 21:51:45">,
#<Like id: 319, dailypost_id: 306, user_id: 104, created_at: "2013-04-28 19:27:35", updated_at: "2013-04-28 19:27:35">,
#<Like id: 314, dailypost_id: 306, user_id: 103, created_at: "2013-04-28 19:24:19", updated_at: "2013-04-28 19:24:19">]
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN PULL THE LIST OF USERS OR USER_ID'S??

<%= f.hidden_field :user_id %>
<span title="Like!"><%= image_submit_tag "Superman2.png" %></span>
<% end %>
<% end %>
</span>
The simplest way to understand is to take each like, and ask it for its user:
dailypost.likes.map {|l| l.user}
Of course that does a database lookup for each like, which you may wish to avoid if you have hundreds and hundreds of users.
So a more sophisticated way is to do a single query to get all the users by user_id:
User.find(dailypost.likes.map {|l| l.user_id})
This will give you a list of users, and it's up to you what you do with it. If you just want a HTML list, try this instead:
<ul>
<% dailypost.likes.each do |l| %>
<li> <%= link_to(l.user.name, l.user) %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
This looks at each like in turn, and then asks it for its user, and then asks the user for its name.

Undefined Method in Picture Controller

Warning, I'm a newb and trying to learn RoR on my own. Been doing the tutorials etc and now trying to learn through experience. Long story short I'm trying to attach a user picture from a url defined by them, with a default pic if they don't supply one. Been running into all kinds of errors, I think I have it down to one primary issue now after hours of trying to figure it all out (since I'm new at this). So right now the error I'm getting is:
NoMethodError in GravsController#update

I know this means I need to do something like:
#something = Model.new/build(params[:method])
