Sorry about that :-) Play_list is an array of arrays returned at the beginning of the create method. Each array contains a topic id. Array[0] needs to be converted to a list of the question id's contained in that topic. That is all taken care of. The sequence of the question id's in array[0] needs to be manipulated, in more than one method. So... I need to either duplicate the code in several methods (in the same controller) or create a method that is called by the controllers multiple methods. The model method seems right but play_list does not seem to be an instance as it is not yet created and is not yet an attribute of the model Dave -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
