I''m working on a RSS aggregator, and I''ve based the parser on a script from this post; http://www.superwick.com/archives/2007/06/09/rss-feed-parsing-in-ruby-on-rails/ But, being the complete newbie, I''ve found that this parser only works for specifically formatted feeds.

If I use object.date - object.date it seems to work but the answer is useless (0). I

Hi, I need to parse the rss feed and use the pubDate field to generate a field in a xml file to use as an input to simile timeline. RSS returns the pubDate as : Sun Feb 24 06:33:32 UTC 2008 But I need it as a string : "Feb 24 2008 06:33:32 PST" When I do : ... @dt=feed_item.time @dt=@dt.to_date word_date=''%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S %z'' puts @dt.strftime(word_date) ...

Hi, I have MySQL model with created_on specified as :date. This means that the day the record was created on is stored in the database as a string like "2006-04-28". I want to be able output a something like "5 days ago". From looking in the API I''ve found "strftime" and "*distance_of_time_in_words*". Distance_of_time_in_words only accepts Time

I want to append "#comment-1" or whatever, depending on the id to the end of my xml.link(" ... /#comment-1") attribute in my generated xml. Well, when I put: xml.link(" ... /#comment-" + comment.id) I get an Application error (rails) message when I look at the generated XML. This is what I''m doing without the id on the comments (its working fine):

I''m using the date_select and datetime_select helpers in my view, and they return Date classes from the params hash.
