Right now, im doing this in my controller:

@message = Message.find(params[:id],:conditions => [“user_id = ?”,
@session[‘user’].id])

Is there a way to do with in models them self so i dont have to pass in
a user_id condition for all finds, deletes, etc?

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :messages
end

Then you can do the following once you have a valid user.

@user.messages

Can that be used in the message contoller?

@user.messages
