Hi All,

I’m using the account\_location plugin and have got it setup OK so that  
when I view the index action in my controller, the objects displayed  
are those restricted to that account (done by an account\_id attribute  
on the model).

My problem is that when I move on to the show action e.g. objects/1 I  
can change the id and access an object that doesn’t belong to that  
account.

I know I can fix this on an action by action basis but thought there  
must be a DRY way of doing this. All help appreciated.

Thanks

Robin

Haven’t used it yet, so please let me know how it works out for you.
