Hi everyone,

I’m trying to ignore the default behavior of  
respond\_to…format.html. Let me explain. By default def index  
loads the index.html.erb view, I created a new method called def  
show\_open\_tickets, well I don’t want to create a whole new view just  
to see this data, it will be redundant, the index view is what I want  
to use, I’m just changing the filtering options.

So is there a way to make my def load the index view and not the view  
with the same name as the def?

Thanks
