Hi All,

I want to write a named scoped to get a record from its id.

Ex: I have a model called Event and its same as doing Event.find(id) (I dont want to use find inside my controller and I want my controller to use a named scoped (for future flexibility))

So I have written a named scoped

named_scope :from_id, lambda { |id| {:conditions => ['id= ?', id] } }

and I'm calling it from my controller like Event.from_id(id)

But my problems is it returns Event object array not only one object

Ex: if I want to get event name I have to write

event = Event.from_id(id)

event[0].name

instead I want to write

event = Event.from_id(id)

event.name

Am I doing something wrong here..

thanks in advance

cheers sameera
