I am new to RoR and I am trying to convert one of my old PHP applications into RoR. However, I am not having any luck finding out how to do an OR statement in RoR. My old statement in PHP is as follows... SELECT * FROM games WHERE home_team = {param} or away_team = {param} ORDER BY game_date ASC I can do the OR in the model but I can't find a way to pass the param through. I can pass the param in the controller but I can't find an OR statement that will work. I have also tried putting multiple statements together in the controller but then I can't order them the way I want... @home = Game.sorted.where(:home_team => params[:id]) @visitor = Game.sorted.where(:away_team => params[:id]) @games = @home + @visitors #@games is what I refer to in the games.html.erb page but it sorts the home games and then the visitor games so they aren't in order. There has to be a way to do this. What am I missing?
