How to override “new” method for a rails model

Question

In my rails app I have a model with a start_date and end_date. If the user selects Jan 1, 2010 as the start_date and Jan 5, 2010 as the end_date, I want there to be 5 instan

Answer 1

why don't you just create a method into your model like this

 def self.create_dates(params) 
   [...] 
  end

containing this logic (basically your loop?)
