i have a recipe table id recipe_title diet_id meal_id

I have set up the associations and can create, edit and delete recipes no problem. I have set up navigation with a list of diets for example low carb, high fibre which when clicked shows all the recipes with that type of diet. I then display a list of meals, breakast, lunch, dinner snack etc. I'm unsure how to do the select in the controller/model so that only breakfast for that diet are shown Can anyone give me some pointers as to how to proceed. regards Martin

I believe e.g., Recipe.find_by_diet_id_and_meal_id(12, 34) should work.

Thanks but how do I pass the parameters in link_to

regards Martin

link_to "click me" :controller => 'some_controller', :action => 'my_action', :this_recipe_id => @recipe, :this_meal_id => @meal

But depending on where you put that link there are probably shorthands you can use.

HTH,
