Hi, I want to offer a CSV download of data in my Rails app (eg. An "Export to Excel" link to grab the current view of tabulated data). However, I can''t seem to break-out of the Rails framework to output this non-HTML data. Even if I eliminate my layout template from my view, the most basic view (no HTML) will still wrap the output in

Finally found a nice date chooser script (http://projects.exactlyoneturtle.com/date_picker), but am a little confused how to implement it. So I put this where I need the date picker: <a id="_name_link" href="#" onclick="DatePicker.toggleDatePicker(''name'')" class="demo_link">[ choose date ]</a> <div

I''m running a simple WEBrick server for a small rails website. I probably get less than 100 hits per hour. I just looked in /tmp on the server and there are over 10,000 ruby_sess.* temp files containing: " hash{" flashIC:''ActionController::Flash::FlashHash{: @used{ They''ve piled up so much that I can''t even rm -f ruby*. Bash complains

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

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

I have a test/fixtures/users.yml like so: apa: id: 1 username: apa [...] created_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> updated_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> I don''t like how I''m repeating myself with the strftime bit. Is there some shorter Time method to format time for a (MySQL) datetime field that

I am using http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/ for my date time picker. I am using dd.mm.yyyy format (:finnish) and i am using ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge! (:default => "%d.%m.%Y") ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge! (:default => "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M") in my enviroment. Everything is working

I''m seeing a behavior in Rails that I find very strange. Having worked quite a bit with Oracle with other languages I would always dutifully do ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = <my_date_format> and ensure I use that date format in my application. With Rails I still have not figured out how to execute an ALTER SESSION statement after connecting to the database (I''m using

Hello everyone, In my model, I have def leave_at_formatted leave_at.strftime("%I:%M %p") end I was wondering if there were any way to define to_s for leave_at in order to get the same result? Thanks!

I have isolated what appears to be a bug in the Rails extensions to DateTime, but I don''t know where to report it. I have a standalone file to demonstrate the bug, but the punch line is that this code: TestRecord.create!(:f_datetime => (expected = DateTime.jd(2000000))) found = TestRecord.first.f_datetime puts("expected == found => #{expected == found}")

Hi, I''ve got a TimeStamp field in MySql and want to use the hour and minutes in the value. for example: StartTime = Schedule.find(action2.ScheduleID).DateTimeStart.to_s That returns "Mon Feb 20 08:00:00 Romance Standard Time 2006" How do I get 08:00 returned ?? Thanks ! Steven. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

I do ''@item.datetime.to_formatted_s(:rfc822)'' and it outputs: 2003-08-06T04:12:00-0600 '':db'' doesn''t work either, but '':short'' does. How can I output rfc822 without actually putting all that awful % code in my templates? I''ve also tried this in environment.rb, but it still doesn''t work:

Hi All: I develop on several machines, most have Mysql 4.* and one has Mysql 5.0. On 4.*, the following erb for a fixture works fine: updated_at: <%= 1.days.ago.to_s:db%> But fails on 5.0. I had a similar deal when I had date fixtures, and switched forrmats so that both 4.* and 5.0 were happy. is there to_s:db_works_for_mysql_50() ? or similar? Thanks Forrest

Hi, Anyone suggest why when I try to run the console via ''ruby script/console'' I get the following "uninitialized constant RAILS_ROOT" ??

I have the date saved in a database in the following format ''20060102170020''. How do I go about converting the date in the format of January, 01, 1901? I searched all over and found something similiar using ''to_formatted_s''. However I only found support for converting month to a three letter format (e.g. ''Jan''). Is there an eaiser way?

Hi, I wonder why this unit test fails. The model : class Article < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "publish_articles" belongs_to :category validates_presence_of :title, :excerpt #snip end The test : def test_validate @article.title = nil @article.excerpt = nil assert !@article.save assert_equal 2, !@article.errors.count end !@article.errors.count returns

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

Greetings, I have a class that should allow you define some default values. It seems to make the most sense to do this environment.rb since its the default app configuration. It currently looks like this: Settings::DEFAULT_VALUES.merge!({ :setting_one => ''foo'', :settings_two => ''bar'' }) The problem is in development mode, the values are only
