I have upgraded my application from rails 2.3.8 to 3.0.3 . But I'm facing a problem. I was using 'find' but the overriding doesn't work in rails 3:

# override activerecord's find to allow us to find by name or id transparently
  def self.find(*args)
    if args.is_a?(Array) and args.first.is_a?(String) and (args.first.index(/[a-zA-Z\-_]+/) or args.first.to_i.eql?(0) )
      find_by_login_slug(args)
    else
      super
    end
  end

I'm wondering if there is a way to make this work in rails 3 or even by using where instead.

thanks
