Rails - Feb 2006 - Filtering all find methods so expired records not returned

Is there a way to filter all finder methods on a model so that all 
records where the expired column=1 are not returned??

Thanks
Chris

Hey Chris,

Check out acts_as_paranoid [1].  It''ll probably do exactly what you
need, though you may need to modify your db just a tad.  If you''re
working with a legacy db and the plugin doesn''t work for you, you can
just go ahead and adapt the plugin code to work with your db.

Model.find(:all, :conditions => ''expired_column = 1''

Then put this in a method like:

def Model.find_all_not_expired
  Model.find(:all, :conditions => ''expired_column = 1'')
end
