Re: accessing field of paginate array in my view

Tomfox,

I think you're approaching this from the wrong angle.

When a user is viewing their profile you're running a different action
to when viewing the index of books. In each of these actions you would
run different paginates/finds on the book model to find what you're
after.

/users/profile/$username: Book.user_id=>$user_id

/books/index: Book.is_visible=>1
