Hi,

I'm only a few weeks into Hobo, but I've managed to get pretty much
everything I want into an app I'm putting together except for what is
the last major step.

It's basically a messaging site, with a few wrinkles.  I want an
'InterestingMessages' page (i.e.
http://the.site.url/InterestingMessages) that will display the
messages collection but sort and filter them by a number of criteria.

My (failed but tantalisingly close) attempt has gone as follows:

* Added the following lines:
  * app/controllers/messages_controller.rb:  def interesting; end
  * config/routes.rb:  map.mymessages 'mymessages', :controller =>
'messages', :action => 'interesting'

* Copy the index-page definition from the messages section from
pages.dryml into views/messages/interesting.dryml

* Edit the def to be: <def tag="interesting-page">   (i.e. rename and
remove for="Message")

* Call <interesting-page/>

It then fails with 'The @messages variable appear to be empty...'  If
I scrap all the dryml and simply place html code here all is good, so
I'm assuming I'm most of the way there.

So, if (and it's a big if at the moment) I'm on the right track, how
do I get access to the messages variable to let me complete this
altered index view?

If I'm completely off-track, can someone let me know what approach I
should be taking here?

Thanks,
Paul.
