issue with join table

[dionadk]

I am using a join table to tag a tag name to a picture uploaded. Currently i can add a pic and create a tag name for the pic. but not getting how to tag the pic to the tag name created(join table - tagging is supposed to link the tag id and pic id.). So that i can see all the tag name created for that pic.

I would create a form associated with the picture at a given route pictures/8/add_tag.

That will be a form with all the possible tags listed out (like this https://github.com/ga-wdi-exercises/rails-many-to-many-lab/blob/solution/app/views/appointments/_form.html.erb).

Then the user presses save which will create relationships between all of the saved ones -- which should just look like a normal update like this: https://github.com/ga-wdi-exercises/rails-many-to-many-lab/blob/solution/app/controllers/appointments_controller.rb.

This would be the easiest way -- you could also have that form embedded on the show page you have now using similar steps.

I tried doing. Can you please take a look at my routes?. Im not able to get a path like pics/1/add_tag added a tagging controller and forms

What does rails routes output?

Also, a note:

In /app/controllers/tags_controller.rb...

  def show
    @tag = Tag.find(params[:id])
    @taggings = Tagging.joins(:tag, :pic) #.joins is for performing a join query
  end

  def show
    @tag = Tag.find(params[:id])
-   @taggings = Tagging.joins(:tag, :pic)
+   @tag.taggings
  end

I am getting an error - when i try adding a new tag No route matches [GET] "/pics/2/add_tagging"

My routes output.......
