undefined scope error in FullCalendar-rails & Postgres for dbm - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm breaking my head.
I was able to implement fullcalendar-rails using sqlite3. When I installed it in my app (which uses Postgresql) I started having major problems.
When I try to view my calendar at localhost:3000/events/ I get an 'undefined method' error.
Event class:
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
scope :between, lambda {|start_time, end_time|
{:conditions => ["? < starts_at and starts_at < ?", Event.format_date(start_time), Event.format_date(end_time)] }
}
# need to override the json view to return what full_calendar is expecting.
# http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/event_data/Event_Object/
def as_json(options = {})
{
:id => self.id,
:title => self.title,
:description => self.description || "",
:start => start_time.rfc822,
:end => end_time.rfc822,
:allDay => self.all_day,
:recurring => false,
:url => Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.event_path(id),
#:color => "red"
}
end
def self.between(start_time, end_time)
where('starts_at > :lo and starts_at < :up',
:lo => Event.format_date(start_time),
:up => Event.format_date(end_time)
)
end
end
What I've tried
this is the part of the event_controller that the error references (the "line 5"):
#events = Event.scoped
If I make it:
#events = Event.all
then the error message goes away, but no calendar renders.
I cannot get the calendar to render AT ALL in my app on Postgresql and I've tried substituting the "starts_at" text in the scope:
class EventsController < ApplicationController
# GET /events
# GET /events.json
def index
#events = Event.scoped
#events = Event.between(params['start'], params['end']) if (params['start'] && params['end'])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render :json => #events }
end
end
