similar to: using time_ago_in_words() in a controller?

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

Hello, Following this post''s instructions (http://railspikes.com/tags/date) I''m trying to define a Date format like this: ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.update(:date_ago => lambda { |date| date.strftime(''%a, %d %b, %I:%M%p'') + '' ('' + time_ago_in_words(date) + '')'' } ) But it keeps giving

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".

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 don''t understand what happen .. if I use the script/console : >> include ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper => Object >> include GLoc => Object >> time_ago_in_words(Time.now, include_seconds = false) => "moins d''une minute" I get the correct answer.. but I I write in my view <%= time_ago_in_words(Time.now, include_seconds = false)

Hi all, for some reason adding the following is doing nothing... .post.hover { background: FAFAFA; I''ve got this in my posts.js coffee file $ -> $(''.post'').hover (event) -> $(this).toggleClass("hover") and my index is <% @posts.each do |post| %> <div class="post"> <strong><%= post.title %></strong>

Hi: you know the way the google and this forum presents dates? How it''s measure from the current date/time and presents nicely as "39 minutes ago", 2 days ago, etc.? Has anyone done a gem or other library object that I can get to do those types of dates? Thanks so much in advance! Mike -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there a plugin or built in function for converting a date interval into the English equivalent? For example, "So and so posted this 45 minutes ago". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is my first RoR project so go easy. It''s a simple directory with contacts. I have two datetime columns in my database (created_at and updated_at). In the list view (changed very little from default generated by scaffold) I want them to display as time_ago_in_words or :long or :short (not sure yet). The default just takes up too much space. In the show view this is fine and even
