similar to: Date validation :before -1 day

This plugin gives ActiveRecord the ability to do stricter date checking. Example: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_date :date_of_birth end This will ensure that date_of_birth is a *valid* date. The date can be set initially as a string in any of the following formats: "2006-01-01" "1 Jan 06", or "1 Jan 2006" "1/1/06" # Day /

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

I have an application that requires users to be in a specific age group, or above a certain age. For simplicity sake lets say they have to be at least 18. This is my most recent attempt to produce the desired result: validates_exclusion_of :birthday, :in => Range.new(Date.today, Date.parse( (18.years.ago).strftime(''%Y/%m/%d'') )), :message => "does not meet

I''m kind of getting my brain around Rails''ey things. Dates are an annoyance no matter what the language, but in keeping with DRY, I''m looking for something like: validates_date :between => 4/8/2002..5/29/2009 Or something like that. Additionally, it seems someone somewhere must have created a wrapper around strtotime. What I''m looking for is a way to parse

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. When I read Dave and Davids excellent book "Agile Web Development with Rails" the first time, I was particularly impressed with the following statement: 1.day.from_now It was used in a test class to set the date of tomorrow dynamically. Since it was enclosed in in ERb tags, I assumed this was a normal ruby statement, but when I tried it in my irb, i get the following error:

I''m working with a legacy Oracle db which has trunc(SYSDATE) and TO_DATE(''...'',''...'') as default values for some date columns. The oracle driver craps out with these default values or sets them to the default Jan 1, 2000 date. The culprit appears to be the cast_to_time method in oracle_adapter.rb. Any pointers on how to change the driver to

Hi! I have a table with visits with a visited_at: attribute which is a datetime field. They seem to be stored as UTC. Now I want to count all visits each day and return something like: { 2013-01-01: 8, 2013-01-02: 4, 2013-01-07: 9, ... } So, I did it like this which kind of works...: def self.total_grouped_by_day(start_date, end_date) visits = where(visited_at:

Hi, Does anyone know of a method to validate a DateTime field? I''ve looked at the validation docs and the validates_date / validates_time plug-in but I can''t find a method to validate a value in the format of yyyymmddhhmm. It seems like something that should exist already, so I''d just like to check before I attempt my own version... Cheers, Mark

I''ve run into an issue with my rails application being unable to properly set cookies on Mongrel 0.3.18. If I run the simplified code below in Mongrel 3.14.4, both cookies are properly sent to and saved by the browser. With the same code in 0.3.18, only the auth_token cookie is created (if I switch them, only the userid as it will only properly create the first cookie in the list.)
