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. Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks! -Neal --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

Hey All, Anyone know of a library for parsing "human" dates, like "this friday" or "2 days ago"? I used to use strtotime in php, but starting from here; http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/PhpStrtotime and doing lots of googling, I haven''t been able to find anything similar for ruby. I know of javascript solutions to this, but I''d need to do

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

What''s going on here!? >> Date.new.to_time.to_i NoMethodError: undefined method `to_i'' for Mon, 01 Jan -4712 00:00:00 -0800:DateTime from (irb):25 >> Date.today.to_time.to_i => 1245308400 >> RUBY_VERSION => "1.8.7" >> Rails.version => "2.1.1" (I''m not sure if this is a rails thing, or just a ruby thing) --

I am trying to calculate the number of days between 2 dates using Time.now - object.date where object.date is a date pulled from a database. I want to display the age of the entry in the database in days. I keep getting an error about not being able to convert a date into a float. What am I doing wrong. If I use object.date - object.date it seems to work but the answer is useless (0). I

Hi, How do i convert a Date to a Time?? I have a date returned from sql and i need to be able to use handy functions like next_week or beggining of week. Any help appreciated Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, In my form I have date field set as ''datetime_select'' which is fine as I wanted it in the same format. But while displaying (list action) it displays date in long format i.e. ''Tue May 30 15:39:00 Central Daylight Time 2006''. How can I format it so that it will just be diaplyed as ''dd/mm/yyyy'' format? Thanks -- Posted via

In my view code, I have <%= datetime_select "in_out", "time_in" %> which returns in params :in_out: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess time_in(1i): "2006" time_in(2i): "6" time_in(3i): "12" time_in(4i): "20" time_in(5i): "24" and I want to save that datetime to a column in the db... if

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

What I want to do is simple. I''d like code that prints out the name of this month (January) the next month (February) and the one after that (March) I''ve been able to print this month: <% t = Time.now %> <%= t.strftime(" This Month is: %B") %> But I can''t figure out how to get the next months to print out! -- Posted via

I am getting the month and day reversed in parsing a date. I am wondering if there is some intelligence in Ruby that knows that at the moment I am in Mexico, as the parsing is working as if I was "6/15/2008".to_date => ArgumentError: invalid date "15/6/2008".to_date => Sun, 15 Jun 2008 What I really want is my date to be understood as month/day/year. Is there a way to

Hi all .., I have a list of 7000 dataframes with similar column headers and I wanted to add a new column to each dataframe based on a certain condition which is the same for all dataframes.

Thanks for the bug report! I''ll get a new release out next week, I''ve been on vacation for a few weeks and I''m just getting up to speed with being back in a city. In the meantime, the fix is to apply the following patch (in Icalendar.decode_duration). I''ve also integrated your tests, thanks. Cheers, Sam diff -u -r1.22 icalendar.rb --- vpim/icalendar.rb 17

Hello everyone, I am trying to convince my colleagues to convert to Ruby on Rails, however I am up against the following problem: Ruby on rails seems to be primarily designed a single database doing a small number of queries.
