ruby on rails - Retrieving the correct model id -

i'm attempting edit data model, keeps listing user id instead of own id. why that?

<% provide(:title, 'activations') %> <div class="row">  <div class="col-md-8"> <% if @user.activations.present? %>   <h3>activations (<%= @user.activations.count %>)</h3>   <ol class="activations">     <%= render @activation %>   </ol>   <%= will_paginate @activation %> <% end %> </div> </div>  </div> 

this part of partial being rendered

<span class="user"><%= link_to activation.id, edit_activation_path %></span> 

i've tried passing edit_activation_path(params[:id])the activation id being listed correctly, don't know how set edit path id activation model.

thank help.

try passing model object link helper.

edit_activation_path(activation).
