Question

I’m trying to expire articles after a saved date has been reached, i.e.:

@articles = Article.where(:semiretirement => Date.today)

I know that that doesn’t work, but how would I write after instead of equals?

Cheers!

Answer 1

How about:

@articles = Article.where('semiretirement <= ?', Date.today)

This will find all articles whose semiretirement date is less than today’s date. I believe that would be what you would want in order to expire articles that have passed a given date.
