I'm calling the following in my application.html.erb view layout
<%= @time %>
And this is what's in my application controller:
def time_now
@time = Time.current
end
Yet the time is not displaying on my browser. Any helps?
Thanks

Are you sure you are calling the method time_now somewhere in your, say, index method?
E.g., try the following in your application controller (and make sure no one is overriding this method in a subclass:
def index
@time = Time.current
end
So if your config/routes.rb has a root 'welcome#index', make sure the WelcomeController does not have an index method or is calling super so that the ApplicationController#index method is called to set @time.

Try this:
@time = Time.now
But you can also do this in your view, without controller:
<%= Time.now %>

current() is a Rails specific method added to class Time.You should definitely look into the content_for method. This is the tool will help you. As documentation said - simple content can be passed as a parameter.
So, simply put inside application.html.erb file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>SamplAdmin</title>
</head>
<body>
<%= content_for :time %>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
Then pass the content from the view. I passed from index.html.erb file as :
<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>
<% content_for :time, @time %>
Here is the simplified controller :
class UsersController < InheritedResources::Base
def index
@time = Time.now
end
end
