similar to: Help on formatting some HAML

Hi There, As I have learned the hard way, let me discuss my question, idea or feature here before doing actual work on it... distance_of_time_in_words_to_now() seems to be unable to tell if this distance is in the future or in the past. I''d really like to see ''in 5 days'' or ''5 days ago'' depending on, well, if it was 5 days ago or will be in 5

I have been asked a couple of times at job interviews if I am familiar with HAML or Liquid so I was wondering if maybe I should start using them and perhaps it would make the views easier to work with. If I install HAML on a machine where my app is that has alot of regular HTML in the .erb views already, will it still work with those or do I need to convert everything to HAML ? Can I have some

I''m trying to display a list of pages in xml. I want to change page.update_at to distance_of_time_in_words_to_now. However whenever I run it I get an error saying: undefined method `distance_of_time_in_words_to_now'' I know I can just go the rails api and copy the source, but there must be another way. def list @page = Page.find(:all, :order => "updated_at desc")

Hi, I wanted to covert all my erb over to haml, but I use HTML5 tags like nav, section, article, etc. Any idea if this is supported by haml?

I would like to use Haml for pages (and possibly templates) and Sass for CSS. But I am a webgen newbie and can''t figure out the configuration. Is such a configuration possible? Could someone help me set it up?

I am looking into HAML and am trying to convert one of my ERB templates to see what I think of it. Everything was going pretty well until I got to the following snippet: <div class="<%= t.done ? "task done": "task" %>"> <p class="title"><%= h(t.description)%></p> </div> How would you do this in HAML? (I know how to

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

I''m using the haml gem and it''s great, been using it for a while and I love it. I''ve got a problem trying to display the flash messages, if I do the following: - if flash[:notice] #flashNotice =flash[:notice] - else if flash[:error] #flashError =flash[:error] - end I get You don''t need to use "- end"

I''d like to have a count down to a certain date, but display it in words, such as "123 days away" or something. I''m aware of the function "distance_of_time_in_words_to_now()", which will display "about 6 hours" or "12 days" or something like that, but how can I get it to reverse? Pass it a date for future reference, then it will error

I''m just a rails newbie, but I thought I would point out a small observation. About a year ago, I was having real trouble making the decision about whether I should learn Ruby or Python. I finally settled on Ruby, one of the reasons being that I didn''t want my language to tell me how whitespace should work. (Although the main reason was how object oriented Ruby is) Although

In HAML I have hundreds of lines like the following: - xyz = someFuncThatReturnsString(''xyz'') and elsewhere %div{''id'' => xyz} The above lines work fine. - - - Attempting to keep things DRY (Don''t repeat yourself) I want to do something like - eval(otherFuncThatReturnsString(''xyz'')) where

I wanted the distance_of_time_in_words_to_now method to have '' ago'' suffixed to it when the date is in the past, I assumed this would be the default behaviour but apparently not. I know of a REALLY messy way that i could solve this with, but it''s so ugly I can''t be bothered Does anybody have an easy, elegant solution?

I upgraded a small project that I had created on 3.1.3 to 3.2.0.rc2. Running rspec on it brings about a large amount of these messages: DEPRECATION WARNING: Passing a template handler in the template name is deprecated. You can simply remove the handler name or pass render :handlers => [:haml] instead. (called from block (2 levels) in <top (required)> at

It is a nuisance to have to rename all of your files from .erb to .haml. Is there a quick way around this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I don''t know if HAML questions are appropriate here ... but here goes. How does on end line to be rendered with a vertical bar (|) ? The vertical bar is a line continuation, aparently. Doing \| cause the vertical bar to be emitted ... as well as the backslash. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

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
