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

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

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

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!(

I''m new in Rails, and I''m building my first application. I''m trying to make a FAQ for this application, organized by product (questions about each product) and category (questions of different categories or topics), and there is something I can''t figure it out how to do. I have these tables: create_table "faqs" do |t| t.column "question",

Hi, Anyone suggest why when I try to run the console via ''ruby script/console'' I get the following "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:

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

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,

When I convert a datetime to a string, it prints out something like this Jan 20 12:00:00 EST 2006 I want to trim off the last twelve characters, i.e. :00 EST 2006 I tried to do it like so: @date = @meeting.date.to_s.chomp.chomp.chomp.chomp.chomp.chomp.chomp.chomp.chomp.chomp.chomp.chomp but the chomps seem to do nothing. I''d love to use regex, but I don''t know which

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.
