Is the failure due to my version? Do I need rails 3.0+ and a newer version of hobo? what methods can I use with rails 2.3.5 and hobo 1.0.3 other than object.find? -hobo_hippy On Oct 19, 10:33 pm, hobo_hippy <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm finding myself stuggling more and more often trying to figure out > how to develop custom database queries from within a controller.
