Ruby Programming Language :: link_to query mysql for list


	link_to query mysql for list I have a web app that I want to make a link. I have a link_to that will show the entire list of an inventory table, but I want another link that will select only items of a certain name. Here is my show all link <%= link_to 'View Jewelry', {:controller => "inventory_item", :action => "list"} %> I am unable to find a reference/example to show me how to do this. I am new, please be gentle with me. =) use the rails forum for ror questions <%= link_to 'View Jewelry', {:controller => "inventory_item", :action => "list"} %> becomes <%= link_to 'View Jewelry', {:controller => "inventory_item", :action => "list", :name = 'some_name'} %> and in the controller you need to say if there is a name provided find :all, :conditions => ['name = ?', params[:name]] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
