Is it possible to add to ActiveSupport''s CoreExtension module via a plugin? The only way I''ve been able to do this is to add my extensions to a library stored in the lib folder. Thanks. -- DeLynn Berry delynn@gmail.com http://www.delynnberry.com

I''ve spent all day digging through the rails api and postgres-pr on this, I think it''s time to ask the list. Postgres stores a Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. My users want the dates in MM/DD/YYYY format. Sure, I could explicitly convert it on the app level every place where a date is displayed, but that seemed like a DRY violation. I thought I''d be clever and simply

...ere users go nuts if they have to enter the date in iso format, so i have to make my applications in such a way that not only dates are displayed in the "dd-mm-yyy" format but also can be entered in that way. somewhere i found this code to put in the environment script: ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.update( :default => ''%d/%m/%Y @ %H:%M: %p'' ) ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.update( :default => ''%d/%m/%Y'' ) this works great for displaying dates, the only problem is i can''t inp...

...ser.to_xml However, on the client end it is a bit annoying for me to deal with attributes like first-name. I would much rather have first_name. Is there any way for me to turn off the behavior of converting _ to -? This seems to be done by a call to dasherize inside the to_xml of ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Array::Conversions, so I''m a bit out of my depth... Thanks, Peter Armstrong

...http://railswiki.pdxruby.org/HowToDefineYourOwnDateFormat.html It seems pretty straightforward but obviously it doesn''t work for me... article.date_edited.to_formatted_s(:my_format_1) produce a default formatted date, not the one I''ve defined in environment.rb : ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!( :my_format_1 => ''%d/%m/%Y - %H:%M'', :my_format_2 => ''%l:%M %p, %B %d, %Y'' ) What''s wrong ?

I am using http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/ for my date time picker. I am using dd.mm.yyyy format (:finnish) and i am using ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!

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

Hey All, Anyone know of a library for parsing "human" dates, like "this friday" or "2 days ago"? I used to use strtotime in php, but starting from here; http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/PhpStrtotime and doing lots of googling, I haven''t been able to find anything similar for ruby. I know of javascript solutions to this, but I''d need to do

I have a test/fixtures/users.yml like so: apa: id: 1 username: apa [...] created_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> updated_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> I don''t like how I''m repeating myself with the strftime bit. Is there some shorter Time method to format time for a (MySQL) datetime field that

Can anyone give me some insight as to why the ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Float::Time method ''years'' is being deprecated? I have an application managing contracts and being able to manipulate and report on them based on the number of years the contract lasts, is very convenient. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------...

Hi Sorry if this is too silly to ask. I did RTFM and didn''t find anything obvious. I have a helper class for my controller which needs to singularize words. I need to access methods in the ActiveSupport/CoreExtensions/String/Inflections class. Doing a require ''ActiveSupport/CoreExtensions/String/Inflections'' fails. How do I add this specific class to a helper class which is not an active record? Any pointers will be appreicated. TIA anand --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~-...

...ult for :dasherize, since it is never what we want. def to_xml(options = {:dasherize => false}) XmlSerializer.new(self, options).to_s end end ...etc... end This works fine. However, I also have to change the behaviour for two of the other to_xml methods: to_xml (ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Hash::Conversions) to_xml (ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Array::Conversions) (The to_xml in ActiveRecord::Errors doesn''t use it.) Anyway, the source in the Hash::Conversions and Array::Conversions is larger, so I don''t want to override the method just to change the default. I...

All, My initial list is rather busy. I would like to shorten the created_on and updated_on fields to just display the date, not the time. Best wold be a simple 12/28/05 type of presentation. I''ve found the format helpers in rdoc. (ie. distance_of_time_in_words_to_now ), but none seem to be what I''m looking for. How do I control the date format of a timestamp field? Thanks

I am not the Ruby aficionado yet, if I have created_on ...timestamp. What is a ruby way of getting the hours/minutes/seconds ago. is there some class that has this implemented.
