hi !
i'd like to add my own method to the ruby string class, do you know how to do this properly in the rails framework?

Something like this?
"foo".blarg
NoMethodError: undefined method `blarg' for "foo":String from (irb):6
class String def blarg "blarg" end end
=> nil
"foo".blarg
=> "blarg"

yes excactly, but where to place this code in the framework ?
Ahh, I understand your question.
I have a private plugin I made for this sort of thing. Just look up how to make a very simple plug-in, and you'll be set. If you do that, you can also maintain it and use it easily in other projects.

thanks works great, here is a nice tuto to create its own plugins : http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=682
I place the following in MyApp/lib/time_extensions.rb
class Time def beginning_of_hour self-(self.min).minutes-self.sec end def end_of_hour self.beginning_of_hour + 1.hour - 1.second end def beginning_of_minute self-self.sec end def end_of_minute self.beginning_of_minute + 1.minute - 1.second end def beginning_of(secs=5.minutes) return self if secs >= 1.day/2 secs_today = self - self.beginning_of_day periods_today = (secs_today/secs).floor self.beginning_of_day + periods_today * secs end def end_of(secs=5.minutes) return self if secs >= 1.day/2 beginning_of(secs) + secs - 1.second end end
I'd place it in an initializer.
