I am using the number to currency function because i live in the uk and the company want me to only show values of the pound of course.I have created all my application using ruby script/generate scaffold_resource.... I have come across with a problem... this code is in my applcation: def number_to_currency(number, options = {}) options = options.stringify_keys precision, unit, separator,

I work in the UK and therefore most of my currency figures will be in UK pounds. I realise that to format a number to a currency format I can use: number_to_currency(amt, :unit => "?") but it would be more convenient to set ? as the default currency symbol. What is the best way to do that? Should I edit line 39 of this file:

I want to make a for loop that concats strings onto a variable: html .= var1 + "this is a test" + whatever What is the syntax that does this in ruby/rails? Also, is there a ''print'' method in ruby? Because when I try to use render_text it will only let me use this once. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I want to be able to have different layouts in my rails program for different functions. For example, when a person first comes to the site the layout will have a link that says ''home'', ''login'', or register on the menu bar. Once the user logs in however, the layout will change. I want it to show the links ''account manager'',

Hi all, Apologies in advance if I got this one wrong, I''m still just a newbie ;-) Going through the Apple ADC RoR tutorial it suddenly occurred to me that the ''number_to_currency()'' helper method was not DRY streamlined. Scenario:: The "number_to_currency()" methods options hash works great when I need to dynamically display different currencies when I

I need to use a method (called by one of my controllers) without using the layout. All the other methods in the controller need to use this layout except for thismethod (becausae it''s called by an Ajax script). I know how to use :layout=>layout_name when calling a method from another method, but nothing is calling this. The layout needs to be removed in the method itself or I need

Another newbie question: How do i convert a float to a string, rounded to a certain number of decimals? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I was trying to write a wrapper for number_to_currency to return currency in pounds. I used a helper class to do this. def number_to_pounds(amt) number_to_currency(amt, :unit => "£") end This works fine, but I am trying to understand why I can''t use a symbol to pass the values. I thought symbols were like pointers. (you now know I am a newbie). def

Hi, I have a css file with lots of classes. I want different links on my page (which all use the ''link_to'' tag) to belong to different classes so that I can format their font, size, color, etc. Where or how do I use the css class name in the link_to tag? Thank you very much -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I was wondering if this is possible. I have a model (Item) that contains products. These products have prices that I''d like to format using number_to_currency. Rather than doing this several times inside the view, I thought it might be nice to do it once inside the model. The item table has an field called regular_price which holds a currency amount. I would like to do something

Is there a simple way to format your data in the .rhtml file? I come from a PHP/Smarty background, and in the templates, I''ve used what is called "modifiers" to format data. {$price|currency_format} # displays in currency format {$description|truncate:"100"} # Truncates the description after 100 characters It seems like the template (rhtml) would be the ideal

Back in 2.1.1 everything was sweet: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.3) >> include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper => Object >> number_to_currency(12.3) >> "$12.30" Then I upgraded to 2.3.2 and: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.3) >> include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper => Object >> number_to_currency(12.3) >> 12.3

I'm struggling to find any help on this seemingly simple question - how does one read data with percentage (%) or currency (?,$ etc.) signs? When I try to read a data file which has any of those symbols in the data fields, they are read as characters rather than values. Is there a function or library which can deal with such values? As an example, I use this sample from one of chinna's

I have just started with Ruby and Rails and am still greatly confuse, finding the usual tutorials not much help. What I want to do is take two numbers from my database, multiply them together and display them in a list with a comma for the thousands separator. This would be very easy to do in a spreadsheet, so I assumed it would be easy to do in Ruby on Rails but I can''t work out how. I

I needed to format numbers with commas to make it more human readable. Here''s how I did it. def commify(number) c = { :value => "", :length => 0 } r = number.to_s.reverse.split("").inject(c) do |t, e| iv, il = t[:value], t[:length] iv += '','' if il % 3 == 0 && il != 0 { :value => iv + e, :length =>

Hello I''ve encountered a little problem with zeros using the decimal data type Specifying a scale of 3 and inserting a number with 3 zeros after the point (for example 12345.000) it gets correctly stored in the database, but rails insists to show me the number only with the first zero after the point (12345.0) There is a way to tell rails to not truncate at the first zero?

Hey folks A long time ago, before i started working at this company, we used a Beast forum. The beast code (models, controllers and views) were all just lumped in with our app code, but when we moved to a new version (about a year and a half ago) the forum section of our site was closed off (simply by not linking to it anywhere). I''ve been tasked with resurrecting it, and the first
