Belongs_to and has_many

Hi all

I have a model called,article which belongs_to user so in article.rb belongs_to :user

and in user.rb has_many :posts, :dependent => :nullify, :class_name => 'Article'

so now @user.posts is giving the posts of the user

Now like,without using any named_scope, i would want @user.posts to give out only the posts which were published before 10 days.

I know i can use a named_Scope But i want to directly use @user.posts alone to get the above result.

Is it possible to do this??

Thanks In Advance,

Charanya

Look up "default_scope"

has_many :posts, :conditions => 'created_at >= #{10.days.ago}'

That'll return all posts that were created in the 10 days before the application was started (because 10.days.ago is evaluated in the class body). To return all posts that were created in the 10 days before the query is run, you want:

has_many :posts, :conditions => proc { ['created_at >= ?', 10.days.ago] }
