Rails - Sep 2006 - How to display date_of_birth field column in db having type DateTime using select boxes Date, Month and Year only, Please help!

Hi all,

I want to display select boxes for selecting data_of_birth. I want only
three select boxes for selection of day, month and year. And it should be
tied with model. I tried ''datetime_select''. But it displays
some extra
select boxes for selecting time. Also it displays order Year, Month and day.
I want order to be Day, Moth, Year. I don''t want to select time. But my
table have column date_of birth having type DateTime.

Please give me some guidelines

Dear Anil:

I just tried the following and it works (even with your column being a 
datetime):

<%= date_select ''my_entity'', ''date_of'',
{:order => [:month, :day,
:year]}  %>

From looking at data after updating to db, I saw that the timestamp 
portion was being set to 00:00 in sqlite3.

I was inspired by: 
http://rails.techno-weenie.net/question/2006/6/30/reconstructing-a-date-from-date_select

I tried <%= datetime_select ''my_entity'',
''date_of'', {:order => [:month,
:day, :year]}  %>, and this did do what I expected it to do.

Hope this helps!
