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

I am using http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/ for my date time picker. I am using dd.mm.yyyy format (:finnish) and i am using ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge! (:default => "%d.%m.%Y") ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge! (:default => "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M") in my enviroment. Everything is working

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, Anyone suggest why when I try to run the console via ''ruby script/console'' I get the following "uninitialized constant RAILS_ROOT" ?? Error: ================================ V:\Source\testapp>ruby script\console Loading development environment. ./script/../config/../config/environment.rb:3:NameError: uninitialized constant RAILS_ROOT

Hi guys, I''m having problems with my app. First of all, I created a date_select with the code: <%= date_select(''contact'', ''birthday'', :order => [''day'',''month'',''year'']) %> In the contacts table, I create a date field: birthday DATE When I save the values goes wrong into the database.

I do ''@item.datetime.to_formatted_s(:rfc822)'' and it outputs: 2003-08-06T04:12:00-0600 '':db'' doesn''t work either, but '':short'' does. How can I output rfc822 without actually putting all that awful % code in my templates? I''ve also tried this in environment.rb, but it still doesn''t work:

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

Hi RoR community, for my webapp I need the german date format. To display the german date format like 31.12.2009, I implemented in the environment.rb following: ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!( :default => '' %d.%m.%Y '' ) If I use the DhtmlCalendarHelper "calendar_field" the date in edit-mode is diplayed in german

Greetings, I have a class that should allow you define some default values. It seems to make the most sense to do this environment.rb since its the default app configuration. It currently looks like this: Settings::DEFAULT_VALUES.merge!({ :setting_one => ''foo'', :settings_two => ''bar'' }) The problem is in development mode, the values are only

Hello, I''m writing a functional test for a controller that uses active scaffold. def test_presence_of_field login_as(:peter) profile = Profile.find :first get :edit, {:id => profile.id} assert_response 200 assert_select "textarea#record_free_text_ec" end I was expecting the first ''assert 200'' to give me a green bar, but added it for

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

I''m using the acts_as_authenticated plug-in for my app. Now I need to get my functional tests to work properly. I have not written functional tests before so I''m unsure how to utilize setup so that all of my tests can use the login. My tests pass if I put login_as :user inside of each test, but that''s clearly not DRY. Can I add something to my test_helper.rb file or

I am getting the month and day reversed in parsing a date. I am wondering if there is some intelligence in Ruby that knows that at the moment I am in Mexico, as the parsing is working as if I was "6/15/2008".to_date => ArgumentError: invalid date "15/6/2008".to_date => Sun, 15 Jun 2008 What I really want is my date to be understood as month/day/year. Is there a way to

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 have a test/fixtures/users.yml like so: apa: id: 1 username: apa [...] created_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> updated_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> I don''t like how I''m repeating myself with the strftime bit. Is there some shorter Time method to format time for a (MySQL) datetime field that

Hi Sorry if this is too silly to ask. I did RTFM and didn''t find anything obvious. I have a helper class for my controller which needs to singularize words. I need to access methods in the ActiveSupport/CoreExtensions/String/Inflections class. Doing a require ''ActiveSupport/CoreExtensions/String/Inflections'' fails. How do I add this specific class to a helper class

Is there any way to get the name of the day (i.e. mon, tue...) using the ActiveSupport libraries. I looked through these two libraries but can''t seem to find it: http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveSupport/CoreExtensions/Numeric/Time.html#M000421 http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/CoreExtensions/Time/Calculations.html#M000308

Hello, I''m trying to spec a Rails application using the couple restful_authentication/acl_system2 plugins. In my admin layout, I put the following code : <% restrict_to "admin" do -%> <ul id="admin-tabs"> <li> /users Users management </li> </ul> <% end -%> Then in my spec file

Hi all, I''m trying to turn off dasherize in all cases, since converting underscores to hyphens breaks the way that I want to handle XML (with E4X in Flex 2). I''ve read the other threads about dasherize on this list. I''m on Edge Rails, so I can successfully turn off dasherize for a single usage with something like render :xml => @task.to_xml(:dasherize => false)

I''m getting this when I run my Rails controller specs. <projectroot>/config/../lib/authenticated_system.rb:16: warning: Object#id will be deprecated; use Object#object_id I added "include AuthenticatedTestHelper" to /spec/spec_helper.rb so that my controller tests^H^H^H^H^Hspecs can use the "login_as" helper method. Anyone know how to fix this? -- Cheers,
