There is an Audit Type class

Each Audit Type has many Audit Items, they are accessible with the
method:

AuditType.audit_items

It is possible to expire audit items, this sets the expired column to 1.
They still need to be linked with the Audit Type though, so i can not
delete the foreign key.

When i call AuditType.audit_items i dont want the items that have been
expired to show, but i do not know how to do this. Any ideas on the
best way to do it??

Thanks,
Chris

You don’t need to use grep to see whether an array contains an element.
You
can use include?:

if (states.include?(‘closed’) || states.include?(‘feedback’)) &&
(states.include?(‘open’) || states.include?(‘analyzed’))

Another aopproach is to use the Array & operator, which gives the
intersection
between two arrays. You can do something like this:

first_group = [‘open’, ‘analyzed’]
second_group = [‘closed’, ‘feedback’]

if !(states & second_group).empty? && !(states & first_group).empty?

The reasoning is that, if states contains either the ‘open’ or the
‘analyzed’
entries, then its intersection with first_group (states & first_group)
won’t
be empty. The same for the second group.

I hope this helps
