There is <%= distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, @a_time) %> before xzy.<BR /> <!-- ^ this gives 2279 days --> This does not work because when @a_time is stored, even though it is a Time field and the class is Time, it includes a date. The Date isn''t even that days date its the year 2000, hence the 2279 days...

...ticket/9587 Thanks! Jesper Rønn-Jensen blog: www.justaddwater.dk ===== ActiveRecord::Errors has a placeholder (@@default_error_messages) for messages that can be overridden. Just the same way, the hardcoded time strings should be easily overridden without breaking or re-implementing the logic in distance_of_time_in_words. This patch creates a new placeholder for the hardcoded strings: @@time_messages = { :less_than_x_seconds => "less than %d seconds", :half_a_minute => "half a minute", ... } Now you are able to overwrite with Helpers::DateHelpers::time_messages[:less_than_x_s...

I''d like to have a count down to a certain date, but display it in words, such as "123 days away" or something. I''m aware of the function "distance_of_time_in_words_to_now()", which will display "about 6 hours" or "12 days" or something like that, but how can I get it to reverse? Pass it a date for future reference, then it will error or be negative, right? Any thoughts? Thanks... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...odel 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 objects and integers, so I guess my question is how do I convert "news.send("created_at")" to either a Time object or a integer? I''ve tried a few things like "news.send("created_at").to_i" but nothi...

I''ve found an issue when trying to use the time_ago_in_words and distance_of_time_in_words from action view''s date_helper.rb Using SQL Server, I have a datetime column that gets returned as: "2007/02/21 09:54:00". When I pass this to time_ago_in_words (which just passes on to distance_of_time_in_words) it miscalculates the difference as "9 hours" (...um yeah...

In rails 3 there is distance_of_time_in_words which works fine, but I would like to tweak its output a bit. The thing is that if the dates are exactly the same it will say "Less Than a Minute" I would like it to show "Today" instead. Is that possible?

Hi, I always see RoR pages showing the elapsed time like that ''Published 3 days, 23 hour and 5 minutes ago'' ''Published less than 3 minutes ago'' I guess this conversion can be done using a Rails function, however I can''t find it. Does somebody know its name?? Thanks a lot Peter

hi, Is there an easy way of calculating the difference in months between two dates in a controller. thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hiall, This could be useful for those of you producing websites in the german language. Basically I copied the definition of the rails builtin distance_of_time_in_words and extracted another method german_words_for_distance_in_seconds. Just put these e.g. into module ApplicationHelper and you can use it in all views. def distance_of_time_in_german_words(from_time, to_time = 0, include_seconds = false) from_time = from_time.to_time if from_time.respond_to?(:...

I''m trying to keep a Last Modified column in my record lists a fixed width and as narrow as possible. <td><%=time_ago_in_words record.updated_at%></td> However, making room for certain values like "less than a minute" force me to make the column twice as wide than, say, "12 hours" or "10 days". I would prefer "0
