Woah. Firstly, why are you calling .collect on project.messages and everything? This is unnecessary.
Secondly, if messages is an association for a project it would be better if you used nested routes, as explained here: http://guides.rails.info/routing_outside_in.html . Your controller would be called messages_controller and the action would be called index, not messages. ----- Ryan Bigg Freelancer http://frozenplague.net On 06/01/2009, at 6:02 AM, Dave Smith wrote: > > Sazima wrote: >> 1.
