Let''s say you''re using the restful_authentication plugin. You have a model called articles. On the index action of the articlescontroller you simply want to spec out that it''ll scope the results to the ownership of the current_user. It should NOT include any articles other than the articles that user owns. How would you properly spec this out? Thanks for the help!

Right now in my view, I have a whole HUGE clump of <% if current_user %> and then <% if current_admin %> and then <% if current_teacher %> and then all that other stuff in my view. I have a ginourmous chunk of if and else statements in my views... is there a way to make it prettier? The if and else''s almost all have the same functions, expect for some minor changes.
