Hello there,

I have a little problem with the find, I want to put some conditions  
depend on the users want.

#Language  
if params[:l].to\_i \> 0  
find\_options[:conditions] = [“language\_id = ?”, params[:l]]  
end

#Category  
if params[:c].to\_i \> 0  
find\_options[:conditions] = [“category\_id = ?”, params[:c]]  
end

@videos = VideoBrowse.find(:all, :conditions =\>  
find\_options[:conditions] , :include =\> [:category, :language, :user])

Is there a better way to do it then this?

and thanks for help 😃
