similar to: Calendar date picker for use with rails.

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

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 all, I''ve built a simple javascript datepicker for use with Rails. I''m sure others exist, but think this one is quite decent without being overengineered. http://projects.exactlyoneturtle.com/date_picker/ At present there''s no Rails HTML generator method for it; later I will package it in a script/generator, but for now it is quite easy to use with Rails and

This is the webpage: http://projects.exactlyoneturtle.com/date_picker/ I have downloaded and installed it. But how do I use in view page? This is the usual view with ordinary datetime_select: <p><label for="product_date_available">Date available</label><br/> <%= datetime_select ''product'', ''date_available'' %></p>

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 %> <%=

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.

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

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 have been trying to get one of the calender javascripts to work with the <%= form.text_field. So when the user pick the date it updates the time fields? (like in normal reservation system where you pick up the date and time from the calender and when user pick the selection it updates the field) but I could not get this to work. Does anyone have got something similar to work? or could

I am trying to calculate the number of days between 2 dates using Time.now - object.date where object.date is a date pulled from a database. I want to display the age of the entry in the database in days. I keep getting an error about not being able to convert a date into a float. What am I doing wrong. If I use object.date - object.date it seems to work but the answer is useless (0). I

I''ve recently made a first release of what I''m calling "bundled_resource" which is a plugin that makes our lives *much* easier when we need to use javascripts, stylesheets and images in conjunction with one another to deliver a special effect or tool on the client (browser) side. If you missed the release, read about it on my blog at
