    <p>I'm pretty sure someone can make it much better than this or if it's the best way of doing it, but here's some things you could do. You can extract the middle part into a helper method. </p> <pre><code>def archive(posts) &lt;% posts.each do |post| %&gt; &lt;% archive_array = [] %&gt; &lt;% date = post.created_at.strftime("%m") + " " + post.created_at.strftime("%Y") %&gt; &lt;% if !archive_array.include? date %&gt; &lt;% archive_array &lt;&lt; date %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; end </code></pre> <p>So now your view would look like this.</p> <pre><code>&lt;h4&gt;Archive&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;%# It's probably still awful %&gt; &lt;% @posts = BlogNgin::Post.order('created_at DESC') %&gt; &lt;% archive_array = archive(@posts) %&gt; &lt;% archive_array.each do |date| %&gt; &lt;% date = date.split(' ') %&gt; &lt;%= link_to Date::MONTHNAMES[date[0].to_i].to_s + " " + date[1], blog_ngin.root_path + date[1] + '/' + date[0] %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>You can remove this line <code>&lt;% @posts = BlogNgin::Post.order('created_at DESC') %&gt;</code> and set it in your controller action as <code>@posts = BlogNgin::Post.order('created_at DESC')</code> Not sure if you can change this into a scope to do something like @posts = <code>BlogNgin::Post.desc</code></p> <p>You can also shift the last part to another helper method as follows I'm not too sure if you can directly use the link_to method in the helper file but I think it should work. </p> <pre><code>def links(archive_array) MONTHNAMEs = #put your array here &lt;% archive_array.each do |date| %&gt; &lt;% date = date.split(' ') %&gt; &lt;%= link_to Date::MONTHNAMES[date[0].to_i].to_s + " " + date[1], blog_ngin.root_path + date[1] + '/' + date[0] %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; end </code></pre> <p>So your view would look this (hopefully)</p> <pre><code>&lt;h4&gt;Archive&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;%# It's probably still awful %&gt; &lt;%= links(archive(@posts)) %&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
