similar to: Formatting timestamp objects

Hi, I''m calling a helper I''ve written - format_time() that is called from my views with a given time that was selected from my database and was returned to the view via an instance variable. When I call format_time from a partial, I see that I get some kind of String error and the partial won''t render. Basically, the object being passed in to format_time is already a

Hi, I''m having an issue with calling a function that I''ve defined in ApplicationHelper called format_time: module ApplicationHelper def format_time(time) time.strftime("%a %b %d, %I:%M%p") end end I use this function in my views to format the Time.now that I would have stored in my tables as a DATETIME. I''m able to use this function, without any

I have the following helper method in application_helper.rb: def format_date(date) day = to_s(date.day) month = to_s(date.month) time = to_s(date.time) date = day + "/" + month + " - " + time return date end I am trying to call this method in a view like this: <%= format_date(bounty.created_on) %> create_on is a timestamp in mysql.

Trying to install rails/fcgi/apache2. Following these instructions: http://xmlareas.com/ruby-rails-howto.html Using Fedora Core 4. I installed ruby and ruby-devel using apt-get. Everything under Adding FastCGI (optional) works fine up to the gem install fcgi part. Here is what happens: [root@paulbarry fcgi-2.4.0]# gem install fcgi -r -- -with-fcgi-lib=/usr/local/fcgi/lib

Hi. What is the best way to pre-populate your database with records while developing, not testing? For example, I want to: 1) > [run this command to populate db] 2) > ruby script/server 3) now I can surf to localhost:3000 and my app will already have relevant data I''m hoping to use yaml to suck it in. Is there a way to use the Fixture class to handle this even though this is

One of the criticism I have heard about rails is that the documentation is bad. I must admit I have a hard time trying to follow it and I wonder if anyone can shed some light on it for me. For example, I am looking at the schema.rb file generated and I noticed this line: create_table "accounts", :force => true do |t| I thought to myself, what does :force => true mean? So I

i know it''s probably really simple, how do i work out someone''s age if i have their d.o.b. stored as a date in my db. cheers -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, We are building a rails application that''s sort of a CRM + room/course booking. Among other things, it provides a centralized database of all the people the company has been in contact with. We want to provide the possibility of sending customized email messages to groups of contacts, for example a newsletter to 500 people starting with "Hi [:name:]". The naive approach

I''m trying to figure out how to design a view and controller to work with a simple collection. I have a Foo that has many Bars, so here''s what I did: $ ruby script/generate model Foo $ ruby script/generate model Bar (Uncomment t.column, :name: :string in foo and bar migrations) (Edit Foo.rb and Bar.rb, add has_many :bars to Foo, belongs_to :foo to Bar) $ rake db:migrate $ ruby

I''ve been playing around with EdgeRails and checking out some of the new features. The one that will probably have the biggest affect on my designs is join models (or :through associations). For those not familiar with this feature, it lets you replace your habtm association with a pair of has_many associations indirected through an intermediate model class. Looks like good

Hello, I''m just taking a look at migrations, seems like a fantastic way to maintain the database. I am wonder if there is a way to maintain what I''ll call "reference data" along with the migrations. A lot of times in apps your have tables that have pretty static data, often used to generate select lists. Is there a way to insert the reference data into these tables

I was hoping to use RedCloth for textilize support to allow end users to enter textilized text (In blog comments, for example), but these bugs seem to make RedCloth unsuitable for that purpose: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2989&group_id=216&atid=891 http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1779&group_id=216&atid=891

I''d like to create a label tag that has a special css class if has errors. So Ideally, I''d like: <%= label(''object'',''property'',''Property'') %> To generate: <label for="object_property">Property</label> And if there are errors on object.property, generate this: <label

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?

I hope this isn''t too rambly. This is sort of a brain dump of a subject I''ve been thinking about for months as I''ve used RSpec. Let''s say we''ve got a simple query method, that will find all the users in the DB older than 18. Our model could look like class User < ActiveRecord::Base def self.find_older_than(age) find :all, :conditions =>
