Hello

You could use named_scope (starting with rails 2.1).

There is a good rails cast presenting them with an example with dates : #108 named_scope - RailsCasts

Hi, thanks for the response.

I am wondering how to do this in my app. I can see the example code

  named_scope :recent, lambda { |time| { :conditions => ["created_at > ?", time] } }

and examples on the net state the same, but I want to be able to input two dates into boxes and call the filter from the view page, which I also am not sure how to do.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
