In the controller fetch the records where that is the id. @products = Product.where( :user_id => 1) or if you actually have the admin user available as an object then @products = admin_user.products which is much nicer. > > on the user_products controller in the index view i want the products > of the logged in user only to display, In this case @products = current_user.products > maybe if user_id 1 is logged in > they could see all products created by other users. If User has a method admin? that tells you whether he is the admin user (much better than relying on id) @products = current_user.admin? ?

Where it goes after the create action is up to the code you have written. After the save call you probably have a redirect_to statement which tells the browser which page to fetch next. In each controller specify where you want it to go. I think in an earlier post I suggested working through railstutorial.org. This would really be a good idea, at some point you will look back on these questions and be embarrassed that you had to ask them. :) Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
