Hello everyone,

I’m learning RoR by creating a small web app that I use for work. I have  
the main model with which is Project(s) which has many Task(s) (of  
course belongs to Project) then a few other controller/models below  
that.  
When I list the tasks, I expect the Project id

def list  
@project = Project.find(params[:id])  
end

in my list.rhtml I currently just show every task with an each.do

\<%= @project.task.each do |t| %\>  
and then the code to display all my fields and records.

So, to make a long story short, I have a field called “Status” which has  
a few options, (New, In-Process, On-Hold, Completed). and what I want to  
be able to do is just show non completed tasks ie: != Completed)  
Then do some more html stuff and have a seperate section later to show  
the completed tasks. All with in the list.rhtml

I’ve tried a few different things I’ve found around the web, but nothing  
seems to work.

Cheers

BTW I am using V2.0.2 of everything

Kevin,

just do the if conditions inside the do loop

like  
\<%= @project.task.each do |t| %\>  
\<% if t.status != “Completed” %\>  
\<%=t.XXX%\>  
\<% end %\>  
\<% end %\>

or you can try like this too inside loop

by

\<%= @project.task.each do |t| %\>  
\<%=t.XXX if t.status != “Completed”%\>  
\<% end %\>

Or!

\<% for task in @project.tasks.select { |t| t.status != “Completed” } %\>  
#task stuff  
\<% end %\>
