What I meant was what does the the query Post.find_by_user_id( session[:user_id], 1, :limit => 1, :conditions => "active_post = 1", :order => "created_at desc") return? If this returns a post with active_post not 1 then there is something strange going on. Run it in a console window and see what it returns. Also if you have not done so already work through the rails guide on debugging. This will show you how using ruby-debug you can break in (after that find for example) and see what it has returned. I have just looked at your code again and realised that I was looking at the line before your call to fetchFirstPostForSessionUser, which is not commented out but of course you are ignoring the return value. I see that in fetchFirst.. you are using the condition with = 1 so it should be ok. As I said try debugging and see what it is returning. Also you can look in development.log and see exactly the query being executed. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
