Thank you for the quick response, that leaves me with 3 questions.
1. How do I change the context in a dryml file like index.dryml? Can I
switch the context between models and pull different collections for each?
I was trying to work with collections but I had problems setting the context
as you said. I have been trying to figure out how to set the context but it
is not clearly laid out in the DRYML guide on the hobo site. It is kinda
vaguely mentioned.
2. Since the controller method is likely better how would I grab the records
in the controller?
I have tried:
auto_actions_for :front, :index
in the log controller
and several things such as
def index
hobo_show log
end
but haven't had any luck.
3. Where in the collections tag would I use ="&yourcollectionhere"? I tried
<collection="&yourcollectionhere"> and if I use param it tells me I have to
def a tag. The terminology can be confusing and clarification would help me
out a lot.
Thanks for your time,
Christian
