Rails - Jan 2006 - Howto change @article.article.headline to @article.headline ?

I have to actions:

  def index
    @articles = Article.find(:all,
         :conditions => "un_published != ''1''",
         :order     => "created_on desc")
  end

and

  def group
    id = params[:id]
    @articles = ArticleGroup.find(:all, 
         :include => [:group, :article],
         :conditions => ["articles.un_published != ''1''
and groups.id 	 ?", id],
         :order     => "articles.created_on desc")
    render :action => ''index'' 
  end

The last one will not work off course, because in the index.rhtml view
I get the stuff from the array with @article.headline,
@article.ingress etc. and in the group action I have to use
@article.article.headline etc. I really don''t want to write another
view just because of this difference.

How can I avoid it?

The "render :action" in the last one will not work off course, because

The simplest way is to define a headline method on ArticleGroup

def headline
  article.headline
end

If you want to use the exact same view, then I assume you just need the 
Article objects. Then I would change your group action like this:

def group
   id = params[:id]
   article_groups = ArticleGroup.find(:all, 
        :include => [:group, :article],
        :conditions => ["articles.un_published != ''1''
and groups.id 	 ?", id],
        :order     => "articles.created_on desc")
   @articles = article_groups.collect {|a| a.article}
   render :action => ''index'' 
 end
