hi Matt thanks for your input -
I'm trying to filter so that by default only records belonging to current user get displayed. following your suggesion I've got... :user_is => params[:user] || current_user this mostly works- the default list is filtered by current user, and i can select others from the the filter-menu... but now the All option is also filtered to show only the current-user records. any thoughts? paul On 3 May, 04:23, Matt Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > On May 2, 2010, at 3:06 AM, storitel wrote: > > > hi all this must be an easy one ... i've got a <filter-menu> working, > > but I want to make it default to something other than All ... is there > > a simple trick for this or do I have to fully get my head around > > named_scopes? :-) > > Depends - what do you mean by "default to something"?
