Rails 3 - time_ago_in_words says “ABOUT 2 hours ago”

Question

Code:

<%=\"#{time_ago_in_words(comment.created_at)} ago \"%>

What i\'d like is for it not to have \"ABOUT\" in front of the 2 hours a

Answer 1

I had the same issue, I ended up doing this, mostly because I'm still up in the air about whether or not to remove the about globally -

<%= time_ago_in_words(plate.created_at).gsub('about','') + ' ago' %>
