ActsAsArchivable
================
ActsAsArchivable is a collection of methods that I found myself using quite a bit related
to models with time-stamped columns. Initial things were blog entries in regards to archives,
but I found that I was using these more and more in various ways throughout many models.
This library requires ActiveRecord.
class Entry < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_archivable :order => 'DESC'
has_many :comments, :dependent => :destroy
end
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_archivable :on => :replied_on
belongs_to :entry
end
From here, you have quick access to records related to date.
Entry.by_date :year => 2007
Entry.by_date Date.today
Entry.by_date '5/1/2007'
Entry.oldest
Entry.newest
Entry.recent 2.weeks
Entry.recent 3.months
Entry.recent (3.months - 1.week)
Entry.between '5/10/2007', Date.today

ActsAsArchivable was developped by joshuaclayton. Since his GitHub account has dissapeared, i just put online my last backup of the plugin. Hope it'll help. ActsAsArchivable is a collection of methods that I found myself using quite a bit related to models with time-stamped columns.
