How do I combine results from two queries on the same model?

Question

I need to return exactly ten records for use in a view. I have a highly restrictive query I\'d like to use, but I want a less restrictive query in place to fill in the results i

Answer 1

with your initial code:

You can join two arrays using + then get first 10 results:

  def self.current
    (Article.listed_articles  +  Article.rescue_articles)[0..9]
  end

I suppose a really dirty way of doing it would be:

  def self.current
      oldest_accepted = Article.published.order('created_at DESC').limit(25).last
      Artcile.published.where(['created_at > ?', oldest_accepted.created_at]).order('listed DESC').limit(10)
  end
