If you are using Rails 2.1 or greater, then named_scope would be very useful.
In your Blog model for example, you can specify a recent named_scope to return all entries less than 24 hours old. named_scope :recent, :conditions => [ "created_at > ?", Time.now - 24.hours ] and maybe another one for unpublished entries # modify the conditions and include accordingly as I don't know enough about # your models named_scope :unpublished, :include => :status, :conditions => "statuses.status != 'published'" In your controllers then, you can do something like @new_unpublished_entries = Blog.unpublished.recent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
