any idea how to use distance_of_time_in_words_to_now? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi There, As I have learned the hard way, let me discuss my question, idea or feature here before doing actual work on it... distance_of_time_in_words_to_now() seems to be unable to tell if this distance is in the future or in the past. I''d really like to see ''in 5 days'' or ''5 days ago'' depending on, well, if it was 5 days ago or will be in 5 days. I''ve googled and saw some gems, one by Radar, bu...

I wanted the distance_of_time_in_words_to_now method to have '' ago'' suffixed to it when the date is in the past, I assumed this would be the default behaviour but apparently not. I know of a REALLY messy way that i could solve this with, but it''s so ugly I can''t be bothered Does anybody have an easy, ele...

I''m trying to display a list of pages in xml. I want to change page.update_at to distance_of_time_in_words_to_now. However whenever I run it I get an error saying: undefined method `distance_of_time_in_words_to_now'' I know I can just go the rails api and copy the source, but there must be another way. def list @page = Page.find(:all, :order => "updated_at desc") for page in @page page...

Hello, Im using this method and sometimes getting errors like this: I18n::InvalidPluralizationData in Forums#show Showing app/views/forums/show.html.erb where line #13 raised: translation data {:one=>"1 minuto", :many=>"{{count}} minutos"} can not be used with :count => 2 It only happens when using localization (I have the file, pt-br.yml and its ok, I checked it

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?

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/.

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, I need a method similar to "distance_of_time_in_words_to_now" to be used in the controller. "distance_of_time_in_words_to_now" methods work only in view.

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. For example: Posted on 3/28/2006 Show a time with: posted: 1 day ago ... something along those lines. -- Berlin Brown (ramaza3 on freenode) http://www.newspiritcompany.com also checkout alpha version of botverse:

Hi, Is it possible to test helper/view methods from script/console. I want to test the output of methods like distance_of_time_in_words. But it won''t let me from the console. What am I missing?
