Good evening! Does anyone have a spare second to help a Ruby, Rails noob? I would really appreciate it. here is the chunk of code in my view relevant to my problem <% if user.banned_status == "false" %> <%= link_to "Inspect products/orders",:controller => "users", :action => "inspect_vendor", :id => user.id, :method => :post %><br /> <%#= button_to "Inspect", :action => ''inspect_vendor'', :id => user.id %> <% end %> here is the users controller def inspect_vendor vendor_id = params[:id] session[:ispected_vendor_id] = vendor_id redirect_to :controller => "products", :action => "index" end here is the index action in the products controller def index vendor_id = session[:user_id] @logged_vendor = User.find_by_id(vendor_id) if @logged_vendor.admin_status == "true" vendor_id = session[:inspected_user_id]#admin inspects a vendor end @search_results = find_products(vendor_id) #puts session.inspect case @search_results when :no_search when :empty_query flash.now[:notice] = "You haven''t searched for anything." when :no_results flash.now[:notice] = "No results found." when :results_found flash.now[:notice] = "Results found!" end end private def find_products(vendor_id) if params[:search].nil? # The vendor is on the index page and this isn''t a search @products = Product.find_products_for_sale(vendor_id) return :no_search elsif params[:search] == "" # The vendor has searched using an empty string @products = Product.find_products_for_sale(vendor_id) return :empty_query else @products = Product.search(params[:search].upcase) # A regular search if @products.empty? @products = Product.find_products_for_sale(vendor_id) return :no_results else return :results_found end end end#find_products What I''m trying to do is: The admin has a list of vendors.Each vendor has an account on the site.The admin decides to inspect the products of a surten vendor.and he clicks on the link inspect_vendor. My problem is> When i hover over this link is shows a different vendor id like it suppose, like /users/inspect_vendor/4?method=post. But no matter on which link I click it takes me to the products page, but it shows the books that a specific vendor has(vendor with id=5) Can you make some sense of this?
