The Time::next_week method is supposed to give the time of the start of the next week. But look at this, it cocks up : >> t=Time.parse "Monday October 16th 2006" => Mon Oct 16 00:00:00 BST 2006 >> t.next_week => Mon Oct 23 00:00:00 BST 2006 >> t.next_week.next_week => Tue Oct 24 00:00:00 BST 2006 >> t.next_week.next_week.next_week => Mon Oct 30

Hello all, Rails 1.0.0 created_on is being set to 2000/01/01 00:00:00 Any ideas on this ? Thanks!

Hi- Ruby 1.8.2 Rails 1.1 so I''m trying to build my first rails app and I''m trying to understand how the helper methods work. For instance .new & .save . For instance, I''ve created a table of Objects, and generated a scaffold. I see that in the controller, there are calls to Object.new and Object.save. I''m assuming that these are methods inherited

Ezra, Sorry for inundating the list. In using the autostart, repeat_every, and first_run, I noticed a behaviour I didn''t expect. I would like the job to run starting at 2am, and then every 24 hours. So I set first_run to Time.now.beginning_of_day + 2.hours, and repeat_every to 24.hours. The problem is if backgroundrb starts up at 6am (due to a code change or server bump), then the

So, I wrote some pages which essentially created some articles which are saved to a database, which also include both the "magic" rows ''created_at'' and ''updated_at''. Now, on my development machine I''m running the MySQL-database and everything worked as I wanted it to. On the live server I''ve had to switch to PostgreSQL 8.1 due to

Just wondering how to best integrate with pagination and still stick to MVC... Say I have a Post model that has a published attribute. I want to show all the recent published posts on a page. My first instinct is to create a method in the Post model called recent that does the find with proper conditions and order, but the problem I have is how do I use that with pagination (which definitely

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:

Hello, I am trying to put my rails app on a host .So I presume the method to do this is to first do rake db_schema_dump and then copy it to the host and do rake db_schema_import. I use mySQL Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.14, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 4.3 ** Invoke db_schema_import (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db_schema_import rake

I have a weird problem going on. All of sudden, records for a certain model will not save with #save Please take a look at this: >> p = Payment.new(:payment_reason_id => 1, :payment_method_id => 1, :date => Date.today, :amount => ''5.00'', :payable => Student.find(608)) => #<Payment id: nil, school_id: nil, payment_reason_id: 1, payment_method_id: 1,

hi folks. i want to check if a param exists if not to set it to a default value for my date range filter. in my controller i have: @from_date = Date.strptime(params[:startdate],"%d/%m/%Y") @to_date = Date.strptime(params[:enddate],"%d/%m/%Y") @articles = @results.find(:all, :conditions => [ "created_at >= ? and created_at

I''d like my published boolean to be excluded from the calculation as to whether a version is created or not. Can anyone suggest a way to do that?

Hey all, Chronic will parse a date range in console: Chronic.parse(1/1/2011 - 1/1/2012, :guess => false) => 2012-01-01 12:00:00 -0500..2012-01-01 12:00:01 -0500 However, when I use logger to check if it''s parsing in application, it is not: logger.info "The value of history date is #{history_date}" => The value of history date is 1/1/2011 - 1/1/2012

Hi, I was writing an integration test for my user signup form (with capybara), and found that my test was failing due to a validation error: "email is already taken". I''m a bit confused because I thought when I run "rspec spec/some_spec.rb", the test database would be wiped clear? Is that not the case? Patrick J. Collins http://collinatorstudios.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

Hi all, Using the Chronic.parse method, I see some weird behavior. Perhaps someone can set me straight or confirm that it is indeed weird. Note that the date changes to one day earlier in the last example below. Since the date and time are uniquely specified using the hh:mm:ss notation -- though in the future -- I would expect the same result as when I specify the time as in
