Hi, In my form I have date field set as ''datetime_select'' which is fine as I wanted it in the same format. But while displaying (list action) it displays date in long format i.e. ''Tue May 30 15:39:00 Central Daylight Time 2006''. How can I format it so that it will just be diaplyed as ''dd/mm/yyyy'' format? Thanks -- Posted via

I''m having a problem converting a date retrieved from my MySQL database and I''m hoping someone can help. MySQL stores the date/time as this: 2005-03-08 17:00:34.0 and according to my Pickaxe book Ruby stores times as "the number of seconds and microseconds since [...] January 1, 1970". All well and good. Unfortunately, RoR is converting my date to this:

What I want to do is simple. I''d like code that prints out the name of this month (January) the next month (February) and the one after that (March) I''ve been able to print this month: <% t = Time.now %> <%= t.strftime(" This Month is: %B") %> But I can''t figure out how to get the next months to print out! -- Posted via

This is probably more a Ruby than a rails question, but when I call the method strftime("%Z") on a Time object, it returns the full time zone name "Eastern Daylight Time". Is there a way to get the Abbreviation instead?

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

I am working with an existing database and have to keep all table and field names as they are. ''tblcustomers'' and ''tblitems'' are linked by the ''tblcustomers'' id field ''tblcustomersid''. In ''tblitems'', the foreign key is called ''txtcustomerid''. I have already set the customers model to

Hi, I have MySQL model with created_on specified as :date. This means that the day the record was created on is stored in the database as a string like "2006-04-28". I want to be able output a something like "5 days ago". From looking in the API I''ve found "strftime" and "*distance_of_time_in_words*". Distance_of_time_in_words only accepts Time

The problem with POSIXt is that you must consider timezones and daylight vs. standard time issues even if you don't want to. This violates modularity (viz. your routines becomes coupled to unrelated information) and leads to subtle errors where different routines are assuming different time zones. The problem is that the time, date, day of the week, month, etc. of a date depend on its

All, Rails 1.1.6. Any AR find() call that generates a SELECT * type query against a table with a DATETIME column in SQL Server whose value occurs before 1970 will fail, because of the coercion of SQL Server datetime types to Time values in Ruby. See sqlserver_adapter.rb line 490 (record[col] = record[col].to_time if record[col].is_a? DBI::Timestamp) If I remove the coercion (just commenting

What have I missed I have a .rhtml with the sandard form parameters <%= image_submit_tag("excel.gif", :alt => "Download List to Excel", :border => 0, :name => ''render_action'', :value => ''excel'' ) %> Which genenerates I believe a valid html fragment for a submit button. <input alt="Download List to Excel"

Hi, I am working with an existing database that has table and field names such as ''TblUsers'' and ''txtEmailAddress''. Is rails sensitive to the case of the letters here? or can I simply refer to these tables and fields as ''tblusers'' and ''txtemailaddress'' in my controllers ad rhtml files? Also, the database has id fields

I''m using the date_select and datetime_select helpers in my view, and they return Date classes from the params hash. But how do I work with Date classes, they don''t print human readable dates or times, Time classes work well I can use strftime("%H:%M") to print to the screen. Is it possible to convert a Date to a Time, Ive been tinkering in irb but have got

Thanks to everyone who responded to my first set of questions. Not only did I get my questions answered but I improved my code and learned a couple new things. I think I prefer the mailing list over IRC... easier to follow :-) I have some more questions if you don''t mind. Some are Rails related and some are Ruby related. 1) This is concerning displaying error messages. I am assuming
