When creating a new object how do I relate it to current user

I have a model in which allows a user to create many of. I want only the user to see these objects if they are logged in. So as of now I have the object belongs_to:user and user has_many:objects set, but how do I set the user property when an object is created. I basically want the user to create this and then later on display all of them back using object find(where user=current_user).

In your objects_controller.rb create action do this:

@object = current_user.objects.build(params[:object])

Instead of:

@object = Object.new(params[:object])

To retrieve the current user's objects, simply:

@objects = current_user.objects

@object = current_user.objects.build(params[:object])

<% if current_user %>
<% objects = current_user.objects %>
<% for object in objects %>
   <% object.name %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<p>Not logged in</p>
<% end %>

You need something that will authenticate Users. I would suggest using Devise or authlogic
