ruby - I need to display results from time_ago_in_words as "days ago" only -

when pass rails time_ago_in_words method date greater 1 month ago, returns string reads "about n months old".

is there anyway have method return distance date paramater in days i.e. 30 days ago, 50 days ago, 90 days ago etc...

class time   def days_ago     diff = time.now - self     return ago if diff < 86400     "#{"day".pluralize(diff.to_i / 86400)} ago"   end end  class date   def days_ago     to_time.days_ago   end end 

or helper:

def days_ago(date)   diff = time.now - date.to_time   return date.ago if diff < 86400   "#{"day".pluralize(diff.to_i / 86400)} ago" end
