I’m new to Rails, and I’m not sure how I can pass the results of a  
filtered list to my export. I’m filtering using several user-selected  
criteria run through a conditions\_for\_collection. Then I’m using a  
config.actions\_link.add to link to an Export function.

How can I export just my filtered list?
