formatted date down-counter - help!
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

convert timespan to verbose description
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

spec''ing helpers that use controller
Hi all,
I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers. One of the
helpers in app/helpers/application_helper.rb looks like this:
def page_name
@page_name || "Define @page_name in
#{controller.controller_name}::#{controller.action_name}"
end
The rspec is simply:
it "should something" do
page_name
end

Help to spec a rails helper method that uses content_for
Hi guys,
I am a Rspec newbie and am having problems creating a spec for a RoR helper
method.
I have in fact already implemented the helper method and am trying to create
retrospective specs. I know its the wrong way to do it but I am still
learning Rspec.
In my view I have a call to a helper method.
<% body_class "users" %>
which sets a CSS class declaration in the content_for

Simple Ruby/Rails question, doing posted hours ago
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.

date helper bug?
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,

distance_of_time_in_words and Time classes
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 ago.
So how do I set the date part of @a_time (a Time

Rails Plugins: Why to register your own functionality with send()?
Hi there,
I have seen in the file column plugin (
http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/) from Sebastian Kanthak or
David''s acts_as_taggable plugin that to register my functionality I need to
do something like this:
ApplicationHelper.send(:include, InPlaceEditAssociations)
I am wondering why not:
(a)
module ApplicationHelper
include InPlaceEditAssociatons

overriding rest show route but not delete
hi, lets say routes.rb has
map.resources :foo
and I want the show action to have a diffent url, so I add (after the
above line)
map.foo ''/bar/:id'', :controller => ''foo'', :action => ''show''
this works fine, including foo_path( :id => "1") => /bar/1
and <%= link_to ''Show'', foo %>

Using a helper within another helper?
I am trying to push some view logic into a helper. The thought is that
this is a step towards having the business logic in the helper rather
than the view. However, I''m essentially wrapping the checks around an
eventual call to date_select(). The problem I''m having is that the
application complains that it doesn''t know about date_select(). I''m
sure (or

How to extend a helper using plugin?
Hello,
I''m facing this problem while trying to extend the parse_redmine_links
helper method in Redmine-1.1.0 (Rails-2.3.5) from my plugin.
My idea is to use alias_method_chain so the extended version could
call the original version and adjust the result to it''s liking.
Anything I''ve tried so far exposes this behavior: the first render of
