[Rails] undefined method `strftime'', being called from a partial.
Hi, I''m having an issue with calling a function that I''ve defined in ApplicationHelper called format_time: module ApplicationHelper def format_time(time) time.strftime("%a %b %d, %I:%M%p") end end I use this function in my views to format the Time.now that I would have stored in my tables as a DATETIME. I''m able to use this function, without any issues from my views, but if I try using it from a partial, I guess the following error: undefined method `strftime'' for "2006-05-12 21:31:48":String I guess the problem is that the time is coming in as a String into format_time, when it should be of type Time. Thanks in advance. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060513/11c64cfa/attachment.html
