I wrote the following method in one of my models but it can't be the right way to do this because ruby should be able to do it way more concisely. Can you tell me of a better way? def name if !@name property = content_properties.find_by_key('name') if property @name = property.value else @name = "" end else @name end end Thx in advance, with regards, Stefan Kroes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
