Hi, I have an issue with my implementation of a feature which need to use a Model find statement to lookup values based on specific conditions:
Example: I have a method called 'get_messages' which needs to get values from the database depending on the called scope. So, 'Messages.inbox.get_messages', needs to only return values from the database if the :recipient field in the database matches a current session variable. I tried this: (In my model) scope :inbox, :conditions => {:recipient => @sessionId} scope :sent, :conditions => {:sender => @sessionId} def self.get_messages messages = find(:all, :order => 'id desc') return messages end then calling: (in controller) messages = Messages.inbox.get_messages or messages = Messages.sent.get_messages ...but having the Model inherit the class variable from my controller goes against the concepts of MVC. Is there a way that I can achieve this without having to create multiple methods in my Model to do the different conditional statements which I need. I.e. NOT Having to make a method which is called get_inbox_messages and get_sent_messages and then having the relevant recipient = or sender = conditional statements in each one.
