I have this now
module ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper
def distance_of_time_in_words_to_now_with_future(from_time,
include_seconds = false)
if from_time > Time.now()
'in ' + distance_of_time_in_words_to_now_without_future(from_time,
include_seconds)
else
distance_of_time_in_words_to_now_without_future(from_time,
include_seconds) + ' ago'
end
end
alias_method_chain :distance_of_time_in_words_to_now, :future
end
