I am trying to set up a filter form, in which I can select users based on User attributes and get a count of the user''s post filtered on Post attributes this generated query runs very well, SELECT DISTINCT `users`.* FROM `users` LEFT OUTER JOIN `posts` ON `posts`.`user_id` = `users`.`id` WHERE (`posts`.`title` LIKE ''%pa%'') ORDER BY `users`.`last_name` ASC and I can display all selected users info : %tr %td= user.id %td= user.first_name %td= user.last_name %td= user.email but how can I add a column with the number of filtered posts for each user ? thanks for your feedback [using Rails 3.2.3 ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
