Group and sort blog posts by date in Rails
- by Senthil
I've searched all over web and have not found the answer. I'm trying to have a very standard archive option for my blog based on date. A request to url blog.com/archive/2009 shows all posts in 2009, blog.com/archive/2009/11 shows all posts in November 2009 etc. I found two different of code but not very helpful to me.
def display_by_date
year = params[:year]
month = params[:month]
day = params[:day]
day = '0'+day if day && day.size == 1
@day = day
if (year && month && day)
render(:template => "blog/#{year}/#{month}/#{date}")
elsif year
render(:template => "blog/#{year}/list")
end
end
def archive
year = params[:year]
month = params[:month]
day = params[:day]
day = '0'+day if day && day.size == 1
if (year && month && day)
@posts_by_month = Blog.find(:all, :conditions => ["year is?", year])
else
@posts_by_month = Blog.find(:all).group_by { |post| post.created_at.strftime("%B") }
end
end
Any help is appreciated.
