At first, .find_by_<attr_name> is a ActiveRecord::Relation's method. That is why it doesn't responded. At second, this method is a "lazy" method, oriented to return _just_one_ instance, corresponding to condition. Is that your app-logic? I don't think so.. So, your way is: games_relation = case params[:console].present? when true then Game.where(:console => params[:console]) else Game end @games = games_relation.paginate(:per_page => 4, :page => params[:page]).search(params[:search]) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
