similar to: Date picker calendar using rails and ajax

Howdy folks, As I was putting together a rough form for a rails app, I got to thinking how much smoother (in my siytuation) a little calendar widget would be than the default date picker selects. Does anyone know if such a thing exists ? I suspect it would have to be somewhat designed with rails in mind to populate the right kind of post params for convenient use at the controller end.

Hi, I want to install date picker from datebox.inimit.com. $ ruby script/plugin install datebox_engine Plugin not found: datebox_engine So I browse the website and download the universal file. It is in zip format. I extract it and here is the content: calendar-blue2.css calendar-green.css calendar-system.css calendar-win2k-2.css dateparse.js lang calendar-blue.css

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

Finally found a nice date chooser script (http://projects.exactlyoneturtle.com/date_picker), but am a little confused how to implement it. So I put this where I need the date picker: <a id="_name_link" href="#" onclick="DatePicker.toggleDatePicker(''name'')" class="demo_link">[ choose date ]</a> <div

HI All, Please can anyone tell me whether there is a rails plugin/app that allows creation of a calendar that can render events. I am not talking about a calendar date picker of which there are several, but something more along the lines of http://www.backpackit.com/calendar where an html/css calendar can be rendered with dates highlighted. Many thanks Anthony

Hello, Is there a color picker somewhere that is integrated with rails? Specifically a I''m hoping for a full 24-bit picker with sliders, etc, that can interact with rails objects, such as updating a form that rails has setup, or just injecting it''s chosen value into an input value that rails has set up to put back into an object after submission. Thanks, Avram

I''m a RoR newbie coming from asp.net. asp.net has a web calendar control (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWebUIWebControlsCalendarClassTopic.asp) . Is there something similar in the RoR world? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Community, I have been putting off implementing a Date selector for too long. Tonight, I finally put it in. I made the choice to go with the datebox engine. Once I got it installed and working, I realized I didn''t like the way it required you to call it. Example: <% @dateField = model.date %> <%= date_box %> or... <% @dateField1 = model.date %> <%=

Hi all, I am looking for a nice way to do multiple date selection in a rails application. The app I am working on is a type of scheduling application where the users need to select the days they are available. In many cases these dates won''t follow any type of pattern as availability will be different for everyone. Ideally it would be nice to show them a calendar and allow them to

Does anyone know if someone has created a popup calendar helper for selecting dates? The current way in rails with the multiple selects is cumbersome at best, and I didn''t see any calendar type helpers in there.

For those who are developing interfaces for entering dates, I recommend checking out a new package I just stuffed for Date inputs. You can check out http://datebox.inimit.com/ for a full demo. -Nb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nathaniel S. H.

Hey troops! Well, it seems that I'm the one that needs some helps this time. Here's the situation. I've got a suXP Pro box with SP1 on it that whenever I try to add any 'domain_user' to any 'local_group' it gives me the following error message: "Information returned from the object picker for object "<username>" was incomplete. The object will

Hey,everyone, I encountered a problem when getting a date through calendar date select plugin. It''s convenient to put the very tag(calendar_date_select_tag) in a form, then get the date when the form is submitted, however, if I don''t put the calendar_date_select_tag in a form, and just use it as an element which can show a calendar on the page, now I wanna update a specific area

Hi, please have a look at http://www2.jeffcroft.com/2006/may/02/django-non-programmers/ especially the screenshot in the middle with the Calender. Instead of 3 selectfields with day, month, year I find this one much more userfriendly, also having yesterday, today and tomorrow. Are there plugins for this? I know http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/ which I often included in my php-sites, and

Hello. I have a small and simple local network with a Samba server (v.3.6.6 on Debian Wheezy) and Windows clients, a mix of Windows 2000 and XP (32-bit) and 7 (64-bit). In recent times, possibly since I upgraded the server OS version, but most likely before, the Windows XP clients (but not 2000 or 7) have all experienced problems where if any application tries to open a file-picker (for
