Hi,
Currently my dates look like this: 2009-10-10 00:55:37 UTC
I want to format them in my view to look like this: 10 Oct 2009 00:55
Is it possible to do the formatting in the view using the to_s method?
Thanks,
David

Thanks for the quick response. This is exactly what I was looking for!

You can use strftime if you need more control.
Colin
Time.now.strftime(“%d %b %Y %H:%M”) => “12 Oct 2009 18:50”

This is how I format dates in one of my projects:
message.created_at.strftime(“%b %d %Y at %H:%M”)
That gives “Jun 12 2009 at 11:34” if I remember correctly. Just play
with it, very simple.

Cheers.
You can put something like this in your environment.rb if you will be
using that format often:
ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(
:show_time => “%l:%M%p”,
:reminder_time => “%B %d, %Y”,
:simple_time => “%H:%M:%S”
)
Then just to something like Time.now.to_s(:simple_time)
Don’t forget to restart your server.
