similar to: Possible to get month names as values when using date:select

Folks, I think I should start a new thread for this, because a similar one I saw is a bit old and the resolution there doesn''t seem to apply to what I''m running into now. Anyway, my date_select calls are bombing on me with the exception: ---- ActionView::TemplateError (wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)) on line #8 of entries/_dates_form.haml: 8: = date_select(

Hi I have the following date select box <%= date_select ''min'', ''min'' %> When you submit a date, it re-loads the page with the same date select box, but displays todays date, no matter what you submitted before.

Hey, When I use date select in rails it gives me this really weird string. How can I make a date selector in my view that the gives me a value that can be used straight in a find query.

Hi, I could not find an easy way to specify the ''id'' attribute for select inputs of ''date_select'' form helper. I need to set it because I want to retrieve date selects values from a javascript. <%= date_select ''product'', ''expiration'' %> generates <select name="product[expiration(1i)]">

I am "script\generate scaffold"ing w/ Oracle. The CRUD controls for DATE columns in _form.rhtml are generated as datetime_select, rather than date_select . This is understandable, as Oracle uses a DATETIME data type for DATE columns. I''m also not too bothered by the fact that I have to manually replace "datetime_select" w/ "date_select" for all

I''ve been banging my head against this wall for several hours, and it hurts now so I''ll stop and ask someone. In one of my forms I had been using a statement to extract the current year for use with some form field calculations. <% currentyear = DateTime.now.year %> And then further down several date_selects like the following, <%= date_select

Hi there, I''m new to Rails -- started with this project just about five days ago -- I''m re-building an in-house ordering tool, and it would be handy to pre-populate a date_select field with a value two weeks from now. The calculation isn''t the hard part, it''s getting date_select to pre-populate itself. Any suggestions? Thanks, --Jim

Hi All! I'm trying to convert serial numbers in Excel to dates in R. For each single "thedate" entry, I get a correct answer. But if I try using the for loop, I get bizarre numbers in "mynewdata". thedate<-as.matrix(40548:40759,ncol=1) exdate<-function(){ mynewdate<-NULL for(i in 1:nrow(thedate)){

Hi All I seem to have a problem with date_select methods. I cannot set a default date.

Hi guys, I''m having problems with my app. First of all, I created a date_select with the code: <%= date_select(''contact'', ''birthday'', :order => [''day'',''month'',''year'']) %> In the contacts table, I create a date field: birthday DATE When I save the values goes wrong into the database.

Hi, I''ve put together a simple form that contains among other things a date_select: <%= date_select(:user, :dob, :order => [:day, :month, :year], :start_year => 1900, :end_year => Date.today.year) %> In my controller I have some code to create a user entity from the parameters posted up from the form, like so: parameters:

Hi, How can I set a default date for a date_select? I''m trying to do something along the lines of: <%= date_select("requirement", "target_date", :end_year => 2020, :discard_day => true, :include_blank => true, :order => [:month, :year], :default => {:month => 10, :year => 2012 }) %> but the default that comes up on the form is blank month

when retreiving a date from a DATETIME field in a database, is there a way to set the date to the value of the DB in the view? It seems to always default to the current date... if I have a field called birthdate in the users table and i do @user = User.find(@params[:id]) in my view i have a <%= date_select ''birthdate'',''user'' %> but dont know how to

Dear All, The recent improvement in RODBC to recognize datetimes in tables has exposed my ongoing confusion. All my data are obtained from a satellite system (Argos) which tags events in the GMT time zone. Daylight saving is ignored. To my way of thinking this means that 1. twelve-o-clock means halfway through the day regardless of season, and 2. the difftime of any two dates where

In my date_select if I choose 31 april 2008, it converts it for 1st may 2008 which it seems odd for me? I say odd because first its difficult to validate at the model level, I have to hook some code in the controller and secondly when I finally get the validation errors I have to go back at the edit page and show the selected date(and the error message) which should be 31 april 2008 but the date

I''m just curious about what techniques others have successfully used to capture date data on forms as an alternative to the standard date_select. I have to admit I''ve been lazy and only used the date_select as we have very few dates in our system now, but that is about to change. I would like something better. Any thoughts? -- Thanks, Sam -------------- next part

Hi, minor question: If I create a form where some entries are of type date (i.e. use the form.date_select to create the form field), it does not allow to enter a NULL date. Even if the user does not enter anything, it forces a NULL date to become today''s date. Is there any (simple) way to give a date a NULL choice? regards Hadmut --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~
