timeago_rails_helper.rb

# This will work together with this jQuery timeago plugin fork:
# https://github.com/zheileman/jquery-timeago
# Please note the original jQuery timeago plugin use the 'title' to store the timestamp. 
# This forked version use a 'data-time' attribute to store the timestamp and have 
# a configurable setting to enable/disable overwriting the title with tag's content.
#
# $.timeago.settings.overwriteTitle = [true|false]
