Apply more than one condition to find(:all)

Well, you can include the parent_id condition with:

   :conditions => ["created_at = ? and parent_id is null", @date]

But your date stuff worries me. created_at is a timestamp, so you'll never get a match (unless the time on the timestamp is 00:00:00). If you want all the timestamps for a date, you need to find timestamps in a 24-hour range, right?

Something like:

   :conditions => ["created_at between ? and ? and parent_id is null", Date.today, Date.today+1]

Ok, but the RAILS convention is to use 'created_on' for dates and 'created_at' for dates and times.
