Hi all,

I am filtering products

specs = Product.find(:all, :conditions =\> […], :order =\> “…”)  
@products = specs.collect { |spec| spec.??? }

And I would like to collect all of the product fields. I dont know what  
to use instead of my ???

And then I would like to show them to the user.

\<% @products.each do |p| %\>  
\<%= p.name %\> … \<%= p.price %\>  
\<% end %\>

Thx for help.  
P.

Maybe I’ve misunderstood, but why can’t you do  
@products = Product.find(:all, :conditions =\> […], :order =\>  
“…”)
