Hi i have a problem when i'm searching an array (@doweets is the array, array with Doweet objects, Doweet is like status...)

on variable of array? when i write like this i get an error:

    doweets = @doweets.where(:date => time1..time2)

where is a method of Relation. Don't use all to return all results as Array. You can add finder methods as chain, and the query is executed when results are required, i.e., each, first or all are invoked. For Array, you should use find_all to search.

Not tested, but it should look a bit like this:

doweets = @doweets.select{|d| d.date>=time1 && d.date<=time2}
