I''m trying to automatically fill a "posted_by" text by with whoever is logged into the session. How do you set the value attribute using "<%= text_field ... %>"??? I''ve tried: <%= text_field ''post'', ''posted_by'', ''value'' => User.find(session[:user_id]).name.capitalize) %> But I get

Hi, I am fairly new at Rails, and attempting to deploy an application that''s running fine using InstantRails on my PC. On the deployment server (I use railsplayground.net), I get the following error: Processing ApplicationController#index (for 220.224.229.156 at 2008-06-25 18:49:34) [GET] Session ID: 5921e7d789ee3aaa214f2d59aa40986a Parameters: {"action"=>:index,

Hi, from example(capitalize) of the Hmisc package (v 0.8.3) you get: > capitalize(c("Hello", "bob", "daN")) [1] "Hello" "Bob" "daN" Is that "daN" correct? If so, then this behavior that only *all lowercase strings*, which the code indicates, will be capitalized is not documented. > Hmisc::capitalize function

Hi there, Being a relatively happy Rails user I suddenly noticed that string#capitalize and friends do not play well with international characters well. Sample console session: $ ./script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.2.3) >> $KCODE => "UTF8" >> "яблоко".capitalize => "яблоко" Where "Яблоко" was expected (Russian word

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

item.title = ''alpha-bravo'' item.title = item.title.titleize puts item.title alpha bravo I didn''t notice this with 1.0 - a new bug in 1.1? Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I managed to find toupper() which translates all letters to uppercase. Is there a function to capitalize only the first letter of word or phrase ? Thanks

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):

Hi all, I wanted to draw some attention to a couple of very small multibyte-related patches I believe should be included before Rails 3.0 RC1: * Use String#bytesize rather than String#length in exception templates: This is a simple case where string length is checked, but bytes is needed, so it breaks with string with multibyte chars.

Is tax a reserved word or am I sleep deprived?? I''m working on a shopping cart and have a table called sales_taxes (at first i named it taxes).

I''ve spent all day digging through the rails api and postgres-pr on this, I think it''s time to ask the list. Postgres stores a Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. My users want the dates in MM/DD/YYYY format. Sure, I could explicitly convert it on the app level every place where a date is displayed, but that seemed like a DRY violation. I thought I''d be clever and simply

Yesterday, I opened a GitHub Issue<https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/7071> about moving Rails inflections to an initializer. The idea wasn''t received well, understandably, as generating a large initializer with new Rails apps is pretty unappealing. However, the core members seemed open to the discussion of alternatives continuing here. For those of you not in the know,

Hi all, I am getting ActiveRecord to produce XML with render :xml => @user.to_xml However, on the client end it is a bit annoying for me to deal with attributes like first-name. I would much rather have first_name. Is there any way for me to turn off the behavior of converting _ to -? This seems to be done by a call to dasherize inside the to_xml of

Hi, I''ve followed these directions : http://railswiki.pdxruby.org/HowToDefineYourOwnDateFormat.html It seems pretty straightforward but obviously it doesn''t work for me... article.date_edited.to_formatted_s(:my_format_1) produce a default formatted date, not the one I''ve defined in environment.rb : ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(

hi, overhere users go nuts if they have to enter the date in iso format, so i have to make my applications in such a way that not only dates are displayed in the "dd-mm-yyy" format but also can be entered in that way. somewhere i found this code to put in the environment script: ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.update( :default => ''%d/%m/%Y

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

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, I''m new to Ruby and Rails, and I''m running Ruby 1.8.4 with Rails 1.0 on Ubuntu 5.10 (breezy). I wanted to have a model Software, with the table as software (since ''software'' is the plural too). I appreciate one can simply use something like use_table or whatever (can''t remember the exact command) in the Model file, but I''d much rather
