Hi, I''m trying to create a method to return a random date within a range. So far, I''ve come up with this... require ''parsedate'' def random_date (a, b) adate = ParseDate.parsedate(a) bdate = ParseDate.parsedate(b) atime = Time.local(*adate) btime = Time.local(*bdate) atime + (rand * (atime - btime) ) end ...and it doesn''t seem to work--the dates returned aren''t within the given...

My application is built on Rails and MySQL. It will only be accepting US formatted dates as input, however both Rails and MySQL are oriented around ISO the format. I know I can convert a good portion of the entries using ParseDate::parsedate but it does not appear this is how the conversion is taking place when data is being transferred from the params hash into model members. Say I have a field ''sold_on'' of type DATE in the database. Would the following model code be along the right lines? require '&...

I''ve tried Time.parse() and DateTime.parse() but they interpret the date as US format. Is there any way to tell it to interpret as dd/mm/yyyy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi, overhere 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

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

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

...yone know if a Ruby package has been written to handle functionality similar to php''s strtotime(). I''m looking for something that can parse almost any string (such as "1 day ago", "+1 week", "last tuesday") into a timestamp. I''ve played with ParseDate, but it doesn''t seem to do what I need. Any suggestions? Derek

Hi, I''m calling a helper I''ve written - format_time() that is called from my views with a given time that was selected from my database and was returned to the view via an instance variable. When I call format_time from a partial, I see that I get some kind of String error and the partial won''t render. Basically, the object being passed in to format_time is already a
