I''m using the date_select and datetime_select helpers in my view, and they return Date classes from the params hash. But how do I work with Date classes, they don''t print human readable dates or times, Time classes work well I can use strftime("%H:%M") to print to the screen. Is it possible to convert a Date to a Time, Ive been tinkering in irb but have got

...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?(:to_time) to_time = to_time.to_time if to_time.respond_to?(:to_time) distance_in_seconds = ((to_time - from_time).abs).round german_words_for_distance_in_seconds(distance_in_seconds) end def...

Hello, I''m experiencing some inconsistent results between code I run in the console and in my test/project code. On the console this works... >> Date.new(1899, 12, 25).to_time => Fri Dec 13 14:45:52 CST 1901 >> Date.new(2058, 12, 25).to_time => Mon Jan 18 21:14:07 CST 2038 The values are changed to their min and max values.

I am trying to calculate the number of days between 2 dates using Time.now - object.date where object.date is a date pulled from a database. I want to display the age of the entry in the database in days. I keep getting an error about not being able to convert a date into a float. What am I doing wrong. If I use object.date - object.date it seems to work but the answer is useless (0). I

Hi, I would like to do something simple yet I''m confused. Lets say I have a table with 2 fields: rank, updated_at. I would like to show all records matching this condition: rank = rank ? (Time.now.to_time ? Updated_at.to_time) As you can see this is supposed to be a calculation on the field. How do I write a query to show this? I''ve tried with_scope, and regular find but did not succeed. Please advice Thanks Adi -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have MySQL model 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

I''m having a problem converting a date retrieved from my MySQL database and I''m hoping someone can help. MySQL stores the date/time as this: 2005-03-08 17:00:34.0 and according to my Pickaxe book Ruby stores times as "the number of seconds and microseconds since [...] January 1, 1970". All well and good. Unfortunately, RoR is converting my date to this:

Howdy all, This may be the dumbest question in the world, but how can you "add one month" to a Date object? I can''t just add 30 days, because months have varying lengths.

....1.6. Any AR find() call that generates a SELECT * type query against a table with a DATETIME column in SQL Server whose value occurs before 1970 will fail, because of the coercion of SQL Server datetime types to Time values in Ruby. See sqlserver_adapter.rb line 490 (record[col] = record[col].to_time if record[col].is_a? DBI::Timestamp) If I remove the coercion (just commenting out that line), I can successfully execute these find() calls. I have a couple of questions: 1) Does anyone know of any adverse effects that I will incur by doing this? 2) Does anyone know when this will be resolved...
