Hi, 1. I have my model for e.g. “Car”. I used this model in lots of places. 1. In a migration I added Car.is\_visible default =\> false. 1. Now I wan all of the finder methods to take this flag under consideration. So initaly none of the Cars will be displayed on my site. I will have to look for the places where I want to display “not visible” cars and there add the special condition to the finder method (whitelist pattern). Any help appreciated. M. ---
