Using File.size(myfile) I can get the size of the uploaded file in _bytes_. Does anybody know of a function to convert bytes into a more human readable format? If I had a wish list for a "file_size_in_words()" function, it would do this: 10752 bytes becomes "10.5 Kilobytes". 2213814 bytes becomes "2.1 Megabytes". 238 bytes becomes "Less Than 1 Kilobyte".

Hello I''ve encountered a little problem with zeros using the decimal data type Specifying a scale of 3 and inserting a number with 3 zeros after the point (for example 12345.000) it gets correctly stored in the database, but rails insists to show me the number only with the first zero after the point (12345.0) There is a way to tell rails to not truncate at the first zero?

Hi Gurus, I have a class, specified in models cart.rb, which doesn''t inherit from anything--it''s just a container class Cart ... I just discovered I can''t call number_to_currency in that class. Any idea how to "include" it in my code? I tried ActionView.number_to_currency without luck. I could kill a few lines of non-DRY regexp code in cart.rb if I could

Any ideas why I would get an error in a RJS helper on view helpers such as number_to_currency. Example: # my_template.rjs page.help_me # my_helper for my_controller def help_me number_to_currency(10) end I have also tired page.number_to_currency but that doesn''t work either. Cheers, Nicholas

Question about the number_to_phone function as provided by rails in actionpack: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/NumberHelper.html If I do this in my controller: num = number_to_phone(params[:phone_number]) I get this error: undefined method `number_to_phone'' for #<TicketsController:0xb7a2bfcc> Whereas if I do this in my view: <%

I was wondering if this is possible. I have a model (Item) that contains products. These products have prices that I''d like to format using number_to_currency. Rather than doing this several times inside the view, I thought it might be nice to do it once inside the model. The item table has an field called regular_price which holds a currency amount. I would like to do something

I have just started with Ruby and Rails and am still greatly confuse, finding the usual tutorials not much help. What I want to do is take two numbers from my database, multiply them together and display them in a list with a comma for the thousands separator. This would be very easy to do in a spreadsheet, so I assumed it would be easy to do in Ruby on Rails but I can''t work out how. I

Hi, i was wondering if there was a nice clean way(after all, it is ruby) to change the find method of a certain model/class (Page) so that if i wanted to use a find method on a @page instance it would return only specific rows from the table(if the page.published == true/false: the pages table looked like SQL: ... id int not null auto_increment, published tinyint(1) not null, something

Running "rake assets:clobber assets:precompile" will generate files like "application-xxx.css" with incorrect urls after upgrading to Rails 4. For example url(/fields/xxx.png) when it should be url(/assets/fields/xxx.png). For some unknown reason it worked once in development mode, but after running rake assets:clobber I can''t get it to work again... Any ideas

I encountered a problem today, in that the number_to_human helper has a defect where it spits out an error when passed any number bigger than 0 and less than 1. eg number_to_human(0.2) gives "nil can''t be coerced into fixnum" So, I found this patch: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/7c8a5f5759a0c63945d133280fb78deaa86b65b9 Now to apply it, I had to create a file:

Is there a simple way to format your data in the .rhtml file? I come from a PHP/Smarty background, and in the templates, I''ve used what is called "modifiers" to format data. {$price|currency_format} # displays in currency format {$description|truncate:"100"} # Truncates the description after 100 characters It seems like the template (rhtml) would be the ideal
