ok, I added this piece of code...
if @remaining == 1 # put some conditions around this @remaining == 0? Product.update(params[:product_id], :funded => true) Cart.where(:product_id => params[:product_id]).update_all(:processing => true) # end in my add to cart method, where @remaining was defined in my show section. It's not running in this cart method when the condition is met. I can try outputting the value, and see what I get.
