I forgot to add commits for a while. I've managed to fix the linking problem so I can get to individual pet pages. Pictures don't work yet, though I am only attempting to display a single photo for ever pet listed by a search. I am attempting to and failing to access the records for a single pet though at the moment. I was attempting to search the provided list by id and then only display data from that entry on the show page.
I've added a global variable. It works for my purpose of allowing me to display data on the show page, but I pretty sure that it is a horrible practice. When I'm done I will look into another means of handling the issue. Not sure if this is a double commit, if it is the first one lacks any of the changes I made.
I've finally gotten the show page to receive and display data from petfinders! Now I just have to add in all the shelter details so that people can actually attempt to adopt and styling so that it doesn't look horrendous.
I've moved the logic I'd placed in the show view template into the controller. I've also added code to the pet model and controller to access shelter records. Seems to work just fine, I got the show page to display the name of the shelter that a cat belongs to.
I've added important shelter information to the show page. Images still don't work, so that's next on my agenda before styling the pages.
