Searching on two table fields

Rails
1

i have a recipe table
id
recipe_title
diet_id
meal_id

I have set up the associations and can create, edit and delete recipes
no problem.
I have set up navigation with a list of diets for example low carb,
high fibre which when clicked shows all the recipes with that type of
diet. I then display a list of meals, breakast, lunch, dinner snack etc.
I’m unsure how to do the select in the controller/model so that only
breakfast for that diet are shown
Can anyone give me some pointers as to how to proceed.
regards
Martin

I believe e.g., Recipe.find_by_diet_id_and_meal_id(12, 34) should work.

link_to “click me” :controller => ‘some_controller’, :action =>
‘my_action’, :this_recipe_id => @recipe, :this_meal_id => @meal

But depending on where you put that link there are probably shorthands
you can use.
