Hi, I need to be able to add one month or in some cases on eyear to a Date. Does anyone know of any easy ways of doing this? thanks scott -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Can anyone give me some insight as to why the ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Float::Time method ''years'' is being deprecated? I have an application managing contracts and being able to manipulate and report on them based on the number of years the contract lasts, is very convenient. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

I''ve spent all day digging through the rails api and postgres-pr on this, I think it''s time to ask the list. Postgres stores a Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. My users want the dates in MM/DD/YYYY format. Sure, I could explicitly convert it on the app level every place where a date is displayed, but that seemed like a DRY violation. I thought I''d be clever and simply

Hi, Just wondering how I get both the current date and time to display here (so far I can only get the date OR the time): @tblregisteredphone.txtregisterdatetime = Date.today Also, how can I change the format of the date and time from: Tue Apr 04 00:00:00 GMT Daylight Time 2006 to 2006-04-04 12:04:00 ?? I''m sure it''s very simple, I just don''t know how

I'd like to log all console I/O for an entire session while maintaining normal console I/O. I'm working in Windows98, RGui, R1.1.1. The sink() function is not the answer since it diverts output from the console. In the RFAQ I see references to "...save the contents of the interaction buffer to a file..." and in the R-Help Archive "...just save the console output...". I

Rails 2.3.2, Ruby 1.9.3 I want to get all records for one month from charges table. recs = Charge.where(["date >= ? and date < ?", t.beginning_of_month, t.next_month.beginning_of_month]) and this transforms into this query on PostgreSQL SELECT "charges".* FROM "charges" WHERE (date >= ''2012-03-31 22:00:00.000000'' and date <

Hi, I am fairly new at Rails, and attempting to deploy an application that''s running fine using InstantRails on my PC. On the deployment server (I use railsplayground.net), I get the following error: Processing ApplicationController#index (for 220.224.229.156 at 2008-06-25 18:49:34) [GET] Session ID: 5921e7d789ee3aaa214f2d59aa40986a Parameters: {"action"=>:index,

Hi all, I am getting ActiveRecord to produce XML with render :xml => @user.to_xml However, on the client end it is a bit annoying for me to deal with attributes like first-name. I would much rather have first_name. Is there any way for me to turn off the behavior of converting _ to -? This seems to be done by a call to dasherize inside the to_xml of

Hi, I''ve followed these directions : http://railswiki.pdxruby.org/HowToDefineYourOwnDateFormat.html It seems pretty straightforward but obviously it doesn''t work for me... article.date_edited.to_formatted_s(:my_format_1) produce a default formatted date, not the one I''ve defined in environment.rb : ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(

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

Hi, In my form I have date field set as ''datetime_select'' which is fine as I wanted it in the same format. But while displaying (list action) it displays date in long format i.e. ''Tue May 30 15:39:00 Central Daylight Time 2006''. How can I format it so that it will just be diaplyed as ''dd/mm/yyyy'' format? Thanks -- Posted via

I just upgraded my version of R from 2.8.1 to 2.9.0. After doing so, I now have problems using the package installer to reinstall all my packages. Some download and install without problems, but for others, I get the spinning pinwheel and after even 10 minutes, nothing is downloaded. R stops responding. At first, I had not deleted the old version of 2.8.1 before installing 2.9.0. However, I

I was trying to save a data frame to an excel file using the following command: write.table(myData, file="myData.csv",sep=",", row.names=F) The command works for some data frames, but for other data frames, I get the following error: Error in if (inherits(X[[j]], "data.frame") && ncol(xj) > 1L) X[[j]] <- as.matrix(X[[j]]) : missing value where

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

Within an R dataset, I have a date field called “date_”. (The dates are in the format “YYYY-MM-DD”, e.g. “1995-12-01”.) How can I add or subtract “1 month” from this date, to get “1996-01-01” or “ “1995-11-01”. --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello everyone, In my model, I have def leave_at_formatted leave_at.strftime("%I:%M %p") end I was wondering if there were any way to define to_s for leave_at in order to get the same result? Thanks!
