I've seen this problem before but I'm not sure how to solve it. Say I have: class Notification < ActiveRecord::Base scope :current_notifications, where("starts_at <= ?", Time.now).where("ends_at >= ?", Time.now).limit(1) end So the scope is being calculated from the time that the server started, any thoughts on how to fix instances...

I want to generate urls from a model's class method.

Basically, we want to use no flash, and eschew php where possible (for marketing reasons). Right now, I'm looking at Ruby on Rails and like what I see... but I'm not really a programmer, having working primarily with Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla for the past 10 years. Our sites need to have a lot of custom apps built into them (video ...
