Ruby Forum Rails I18n > DateFields and ActiveRecords

Here is some typical code, right?

<% for column in User.visible_columns true %>
<tr>
  <th><%= column.human_name %></th>
  <td><%=h @user.send(column.name) %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>

I want to customize how the date is formatted for timestamps. How do I
do that? (I want the code above to automatically use my new format for
timestamp/datetime columns)

Try modifing the DATE_FORMATS[:db] constant with your own format...
