module ActiveAdmin
  class ResourceDSL
    def filter(*args)
      field = args[0]
      klass = @config.resource_class_name.constantize
      type  = klass.columns.select{|c| c.name == field.to_s}.first.try(:type)

      if type == :datetime
        controller do
          before_filter :only => :index do
            if !params["q"].blank? && !params["q"]["#{field}_lte"].blank?
              params["q"]["#{field}_lte"] += " 23:59:59.999999"
            end
          end
        end
      end

      super
    end
  end
end

Hi, thanks for the tip. Watch out, though : master (1.0.x.pre) branch now uses params["q"]["#{field}_lteq"] (notice the ending 'q').

Should we create a new file called ResourceDSL for this?

The solutions mentioned in activeadmin/activeadmin#3529 by chrp and keithlayne work great and are a little cleaner in my opinion.
