Hello, I''m experiencing some inconsistent results between code I run in the console and in my test/project code.

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,

Howdy all, This may be the dumbest question in the world, but how can you "add one month" to a Date object? I can''t just add 30 days, because months have varying lengths.

Hi, Just wondering how I get both the current date and time to display here (so far I can only get the date OR the time): @tblregisteredphone.txtregisterdatetime = Date.today Also, how can I change the format of the date and time from: Tue Apr 04 00:00:00 GMT Daylight Time 2006 to 2006-04-04 12:04:00 ?? I''m sure it''s very simple, I just don''t know how

Hi, I would like to do something simple yet I''m confused. Lets say I have a table with 2 fields: rank, updated_at. I would like to show all records matching this condition: rank = rank ? (Time.now.to_time ? Updated_at.to_time) As you can see this is supposed to be a calculation on the field. How do I write a query to show this? I''ve tried with_scope, and regular find but did not

Hiall, This could be useful for those of you producing websites in the german language. Basically I copied the definition of the rails builtin distance_of_time_in_words and extracted another method german_words_for_distance_in_seconds. Just put these e.g. into module ApplicationHelper and you can use it in all views. def distance_of_time_in_german_words(from_time, to_time = 0, include_seconds

I''m using the date_select and datetime_select helpers in my view, and they return Date classes from the params hash.
