similar to: date helper bug?

HI I don''t understand what happen .. if I use the script/console : >> include ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper => Object >> include GLoc => Object >> time_ago_in_words(Time.now, include_seconds = false) => "moins d''une minute" I get the correct answer.. but I I write in my view <%= time_ago_in_words(Time.now, include_seconds = false)

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

Hiall, This could be useful for those of you producing websites in the 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

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?

I''m trying to keep a Last Modified column in my record lists a fixed width and as narrow as possible. <td><%=time_ago_in_words record.updated_at%></td> However, making room for certain values like "less than a minute" force me to make the column twice as wide than, say, "12 hours" or "10 days". I would prefer "0

I''m getting this error when I try to update a list using ajax after submitting some data: undefined method `time_ago_in_words'' for #<IdeaController:0x3a38ae8> the LOC is this: render_text "<li>" + @params[:idea][:title] + "<br />by " + @params[:idea][:author] + " | " & time_ago_in_words(Time.now) & " ago | " +

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

Look at your 1.day.from_now and see if it''s like this: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 02:45:42 UTC +00:00 If you also have the "UTC +00:00", it means that you timezone is the GMT (and I think that it isn''t your real timezone). For example, my timezone is 3 hours after the GMT, so the right timezone would be something like this: Sat Oct 11 23:48:41 -0300 2008 At your

Hi, My helper specs were going ok until I added a call to a rails DateHelper method in one of my helpers http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ DateHelper.html#M000574 The helper runs fine from my view templates, just dies in the spec test. I boiled my question down to a simple (not too useful) example. I''m not sure what I''m missing. #

In rails 3 there is distance_of_time_in_words which works fine, but I would like to tweak its output a bit. The thing is that if the dates are exactly the same it will say "Less Than a Minute" I would like it to show "Today" instead. Is that possible?

I assume that this is some newbie stupidity, but I haven''t found my way around this problem. I have an ActiveRecord object fetched from the database, and I need to evaluate the contents of the updated_on field. However, *any* attempt to access that data in the program results in a TypeError with the message ''no implicit conversion from nil to integer''. cust =

I have following code in view <% if @next_topic %> Time to show next topic <%= distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now.utc, @next_topic.time_to_show.utc) %> <hr /> <% end %> Output: Time to show next topic {{count}} days -------------------- time_to_show has following value Mon, 20 Dec 2010 12:38:00 UTC +00:00 @next_topic comes from database.

Hi all, for some reason adding the following is doing nothing... .post.hover { background: FAFAFA; I''ve got this in my posts.js coffee file $ -> $(''.post'').hover (event) -> $(this).toggleClass("hover") and my index is <% @posts.each do |post| %> <div class="post"> <strong><%= post.title %></strong>

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

Hello, Following this post''s instructions (http://railspikes.com/tags/date) I''m trying to define a Date format like this: ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.update(:date_ago => lambda { |date| date.strftime(''%a, %d %b, %I:%M%p'') + '' ('' + time_ago_in_words(date) + '')'' } ) But it keeps giving

In my work with a simple localization plugin, i''m running into a lot of places in the Rails core, where text and other localization specific information is hardcoded. I''ve included some examples in the bottom of this post. It''s hard for an outsider to know, if the hardcoded values are a result of inconsistency in code, or "by design". I hope that we can have

Folks, I think I should start a new thread for this, because a similar one I saw is a bit old and the resolution there doesn''t seem to apply to what I''m running into now. Anyway, my date_select calls are bombing on me with the exception: ---- ActionView::TemplateError (wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)) on line #8 of entries/_dates_form.haml: 8: = date_select(

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

Imagine a crud app that tracks people applying for a loan, here is the layout I have: Mysql database: create table apps ( id int auto_increment primary key, primary_id int not null, secondary_id int null, constraint fk_primary_id foreign key(primary_id) references (contacts.id), constraint fk_secondary_id foreign key(secondary_id) references (contacts.id)) create table contacts ( Id int
