I have two controllers, orders and tasks – each order has many tasks.

In my orders show view, I list all the related tasks for the order.

My issue is that I want to restrict the output – eg. only list tasks with a status = 1

In my orders controller I tried this:

 @tasks = Task.find(:all, :conditions => [:status => '1'])

But I get an error:

undefined method `%' for {:status=>"1"}:Hash

I also don’t really know how to call this. In my orders show view I tried this:

<% @task.tasks.each do |task| %>
  <li>
    <%= task.title %> <%= task.dueddate %> 
  </li>
<% end %>

Can you help a flailing newbie 🙂

You really need to check query interface in rails 3

Btwn your solution is:-

 @tasks = Task.where(['status = ? ', 0])
