Rails - Apr 2006 - Select Collection with Conditions - May Help You...

Hey All:

Thought I''d pass this along...let me know if you have a better, more 
elegant way.

Still new to Rails, but was fiddling around with the Select Helper 
trying to return an option collection that was filtered (in other words, 
I didn''t want every item from the collection, just the ones that met a 
certain criteria).

I used find_all_by_ to do it and it looks like this in my view:

<% select ''deal'', ''supplier'',
Client.find_all_by_is_supplier(true,
:order => ''name'').collect { |c| [c.name, c.id] } %>

Note the sort order as well. Hope this helps someone...

Cheers,
David
