Updated_at not today?

How can you verify that it has not been updated today?

if @post.updated_ad “is not today”
@post.counter = @post.counter + 1
@post.save
end

The first question is what do you mean by today? Note in particular
that your date may not be the same as mine if we are in different
timezones.

Check if the current date is equal to that?

Same year, same month and same date. And I think that all of my visitors
are in the same time zone and it is not so important, about the same
day…

if @post.updated_at.strftime("%d-%m-%Y") !=
Time.now.strftime("%d-%m-%Y")

Or is there better way?

This is basic ruby…

Those give you the dates in UTC, which may not be the same as the
local timezone date.

Read up on the Date class. You can compare dates directly, and you have
the whole range of < = > operators to work on them.
