@ -843,28 +843,10 @@ above the "Title" output inside `app/views/blorgh/articles/show.html.erb`:
|
|||
```html+erb
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>Author:</b>
|
||||
<%= @article.author %>
|
||||
<%= @article.author.name %>
|
||||
</p>
|

```
|
||||
|

By outputting `@article.author` using the `<%=` tag, the `to_s` method will be
|
||||
called on the object. By default, this will look quite ugly:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
#<User:0x00000100ccb3b0>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is undesirable. It would be much better to have the user's name there. To
|
||||
do this, add a `to_s` method to the `User` class within the application:
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
def to_s
|
||||
name
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now instead of the ugly Ruby object output, the author's name will be displayed.

Because Rails controllers generally share code for things like authentication
