Assuming that you have set up the relationships properly, so User has_many posts then to get all the posts for the current user you can just say current_user.posts, then if you want intat to be 1 also you just say current_user.posts.where( :itatt => 1 ) which will give you effectively an array of Post objects. If you don't know what user has_many posts means then have a look at the Rails Guide on ActiveRecord associations, though I strongly suggest you work through some Rails tutorials such as railstutorial.org, which is free to use online, before going any further.
