NOTE: This project is outdated. Use is not recommended. It is kept online as a reminder of the code I wrote several years ago, making the stuff I do now look good.
This plugin lets you add basic time-based publishing-behaviour to your models by specifying a publication range with to date attributes.
To use simply call the plugin in your model:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_publishable
end
This includes two special finder methods for finding published and unpublished models, and adds some basic instance methods for working with individual objects--most notably the published?-flag.
You can check if the plugin installed correctly by testing it yourself (in the plugin dir.):
rake test
