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

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 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 all, I am getting ActiveRecord to produce XML with render :xml => @user.to_xml However, on the client end it is a bit annoying for me to deal with attributes like first-name. I would much rather have first_name. Is there any way for me to turn off the behavior of converting _ to -? This seems to be done by a call to dasherize inside the to_xml of

Hi, I am fairly new at Rails, and attempting to deploy an application that''s running fine using InstantRails on my PC. On the deployment server (I use railsplayground.net), I get the following error: Processing ApplicationController#index (for 220.224.229.156 at 2008-06-25 18:49:34) [GET] Session ID: 5921e7d789ee3aaa214f2d59aa40986a Parameters: {"action"=>:index,

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

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

Hey All, Anyone know of a library for parsing "human" dates, like "this friday" or "2 days ago"? I used to use strtotime in php, but starting from here; http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/PhpStrtotime and doing lots of googling, I haven''t been able to find anything similar for ruby. I know of javascript solutions to this, but I''d need to do

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, Anyone suggest why when I try to run the console via ''ruby script/console'' I get the following "uninitialized constant RAILS_ROOT" ??

I am not the Ruby aficionado yet, if I have created_on ...timestamp. What is a ruby way of getting the hours/minutes/seconds ago. is there some class that has this implemented. For example: Posted on 3/28/2006 Show a time with: posted: 1 day ago ... something along those lines. -- Berlin Brown (ramaza3 on freenode) http://www.newspiritcompany.com also checkout alpha version of botverse:

All, My initial list is rather busy. I would like to shorten the created_on and updated_on fields to just display the date, not the time. Best wold be a simple 12/28/05 type of presentation. I''ve found the format helpers in rdoc. (ie. distance_of_time_in_words_to_now ), but none seem to be what I''m looking for. How do I control the date format of a timestamp field? Thanks

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:

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
