yep assuming the timestamp is returning a DateTime object, just call the hour method on that
eg. @user.created_at.hour would return an integer that is between 0 and 23 so @user.created_at.hour > 0 and @user.created_at.hour < 4 Gavin http://handyrailstips.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
