Question

i have this on my view:

<%= link_to "shirts", things_path (:scope => "shirts" ) %>

this on my controller

@products = Product.send(params[:scope])

however i would like to use chained scopes such as:

<%= link_to "shirts", products_path (:scope => "shirts.blue" )  %>

but for some reason that doesnt work.

Probably my syntax is wrong?

Answer 1

Try this

<%= link_to "shirts", products_path (:scope => "shirts.blue" ) %>

Model

@products = Product.scoped
params[:scope].split(".").each{|scope| @products = @products.send(scope)}
