[Arel]Building query, but can't get a proper output

Rails
1

I have the following code:

  advertisements_arel = Advertisement.order("advertisements.id

DESC").arel
@advertisements = (params[:website_id].present? ?
advertisements_arel.where(:website_id => params[:website_id]) :
advertisements_arel).to_a

It returns a struct Arel::SelectManager::Row data
But I’d like it to return an array of Advertisement objects (like it
would normally do) so I can iterate over it more easily. This is because
kaminari is intergrated into the model Advertisement.
Anyone know how to do that?

If you remove the .arel you get an ActiveRecord::Relation which you can
iterate as if it were an Array, plus you can keep appending .where(…)
as
in your code
