    I would recommend watching the Railscast Episode on named_scope.

    Ideally, the code you’re looking for would be:

     named_scope :recent,     lambda { |*args| {:conditions => ['created_at > ?', (args.first || 7.days.ago)]} } 

    This will allow you to pass a parameter to the named scope or it will default to the previous 7 days.

    You would call it using:

    MyModel.recent
