Can I just say, thank you sooo much for answering pretty much all my
questions, and so fast! It is for the admin side of the site, just there
are two levels of admin. So from what i can see i will be able to put in
def conditions_for_collection

end
in the controller and place conditions in there that will change the
find method into the database to give me all the stuff based on the
conditions i give it in that action. How do i format the conditions
though?

Thanks.
