    <p>I would like to use I18n.t in an initializer file in Rails 3.1.1.</p> <p>This question already exists for Rails 2 (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3514536/unable-to-use-i18n-t-call-in-an-initializer-file). Supposedly, it was answered by a subsequent release. It appears to be an issue again in Rails 3.1.1.</p> <p><strong>The problem:</strong></p> <p>I have a custom time format called :dxl. I would like to format my Email.sent_at datetime as :dxl. </p> <p><strong>The solution:</strong></p> <p>In can add the format to en.yml (time.formats.dxl) and use it with:</p> <pre><code>I18n.localize(email.sent_at, :format =&gt; :dxl) </code></pre> <p>I also want to show the utc time. I do not see a way to use I18n for this, so I am using:</p> <pre><code>email.sent_at.utc.to_s(:dxl) </code></pre> <p><strong>The rub:</strong></p> <p>To support <code>to_s(format)</code>, I believe I need to assign <code>Time::DATE_FORMATS[:dxl]</code> in an initializer (e.g. config/initializers/time_formats.rb).</p> <p>I would rather not duplicate the strftime format string in both en.yml and the initializer.</p> <p>Unfortunately, it looks like I18n is not usable within an initializer. When I add this to config/initializers/time_formats.rb:</p> <pre><code>Time::DATE_FORMATS[:dxl] = I18n.translate('time.formats.dxl') </code></pre> <p>I get:</p> <pre><code>&gt; Time.now.utc.to_s(:dxl) =&gt; "translation missing: en.time.formats.dxl" </code></pre> <p>Is there a way to ensure I18n is ready (has read the en.yml file) in an initializer?</p> <p>I did verify that the translation does work correctly if I copy/paste the strftime format into the initializer.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

    1. COAny reason why you're not just calling I18n.localize(email.sent_at.utc, :format => :dxl) ?

    2. COI believe this how we settled on formatting dates. This is a little fuzzy for me now, but I do remember that, at the time, we were trying to use .to_s(format) instead of the bulkier I18n.translate. I also recall that the use of the optional param on to_s caused us some other issues, so we fell back to I18n.translate.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
