Yeah, that is what I meant by "long winded".
*Why is there this issue with the name of a local, temporary variable?*
If the scope is only a few lines, I might as well call it "x" (which is
why I think tmp is *unambiguous*: it indicates this variable is just
that, and nothing more than that)...Is this just the normal "pick
informative names" caveat, or is there more to it? Rails is slightly
scary...
Your "where =" line did not work -- I may have mistyped it, but this
seems to do:
@albums = Album.find(:all, :conditions => { :artist_id =>
params[:find_id].to_i })
Most of all: Your help is much appreciated dude, THANKS!
ps. If you have a minute, here's a little question about what I am
about to try: I have a list on one side with all the artists. A click
on a list entry will put all the artist's albums in a div box on the
other side. Now, I want to add a menu up top with entries like "Sort
albums by size", but I want that to apply only to the albums that are
currently displayed. I don't want to produce the list again and sort it
(since I have some more complicated plans, like allowing the user to
build a custom list in the div box); I want to try and keep a global
variable ($shown) and process that back in the album controller.
Hopefully this is possible -- any related tips brought to mind?
