nice date function
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

Rails Edge, has_many :through in searches
I have two tables, a Projects table and a Clients table.
It''s basically a HABTM relationship, but I have additional project/
client-specific information in the join table. I''m trying to use the
new has_many :through method to join these. It works fine when
displaying records, but when I try to search, I''m having this problem:

Getting number of days in a month
In PHP, there was an argument you could pass to the Date function to
get the number of days in the current month:
echo date("t"); // Outputs "28" for February
I don''t see anything like this in Ruby/Rails. Right now, I''m using a
very ugly line to pull the last day of the month:
@number_of_days = (Date.strptime(Date.today.strftime("%Y-%m-01"))

Re: time_ago_in_words is off by a day
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

ActionMailer e-mails getting tagged as junk in Outlook 2003
Whenever an email is sent via ActionMailer, and the recipient is using
Outlook 2003 (with SP2 installed), the e-mail is getting put in the junk
e-mail folder. Since Outlook doesn''t give a reason it was tagged as
junk, it''s hard to determine what to change.
I''ve compared the message headers of the "junk" mail and a valid email
sent through Outlook, and the

Custom flash[:notice]
For the most part, my
flash[:notice] messages fall into one of two categories: either a
message stating that something happened successfully (which is colored
green), or messages showing errors (which I would like to be red).
Is it possible to set some sort of flag on these messages to choose
which color I want to show, or would I need to base it on CSS and set
the class in the text, i.e.

Nil column results, possible to ignore?
For a table "clients" there are city, state, and zip fields. However, for some clients we only have a state with no actual address.
The following code throws a "You have a nil object" error when outputting my client list. Is there a way around this, short of writing a specific case for each possibility?

File_column not keeping value during page reloads
I''m trying to use the file_column plug-in to attach a file to a
newsletter posting. It works fine if I get the form right the first
time, but if I get an error, such as not typing in a required field, and
the form re-displays, my file selection box reverts to "no file selected."
Here''s my relevant controller code:

Simple Ruby/Rails question, doing posted hours ago
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.

select vs. select_tag
I have a "Users" object and
a "Timesheets" object. Each timesheet entry belongs to a User, which is
selected from a drop-down list. The timesheet has a user_id field. (The
user needs to have an option to select a different user due to the way
our system works.)
If i use the "select" object, which is bound to the Timesheet model,

Less verbose than time_ago_in_words method?
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".

date helper bug?
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

Eager loading issue
I have three tables, Invoices, Projects, and Managers.
Each manager has many projects. Each project has many invoices.
When displaying a list of the invoices, I am using:
Invoice.find(:all, :include => [:project])
Since the list shows information from the project table. (For
example, a table showing Invoice Date, Project Name). However, I''d
also like to show the manager name.

file_field questions
A couple questions about file_field elements.
First, with code such as this:
<%= file_field ''attachments'', ''filename'' %>
Would the filename of the file I select be the value that''s stored
within the database under the "filename" column, and then I would just
add in code in my "create" controller to upload the actual file?
