Hi, In my form I have date field set as ''datetime_select'' which is fine as I wanted it in the same format. But while displaying (list action) it displays date in long format i.e. ''Tue May 30 15:39:00 Central Daylight Time 2006''. How can I format it so that it will just be diaplyed as ''dd/mm/yyyy'' format? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Look at Time#strftime:
http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/
<%= object.created_at.strftime("%d/%m/%Y") %>

Alterantively to using strftime every time you want to format a date, ie if you want this display application wide you can add ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.update( :default => ''%d/%m/%Y @ %H:%M: %p ) ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.update( :default => ''%d/%m/%Y ) to the environment.rb Then you can just put something like <%= object.created_at.to_date %> and all the formatting is done for you.

On MySQL 5.0.21 if I use this trick, it prevents ''Date'' fields from updating properly. The same may happen with other types, but I haven''t tested them. It is probably safer to leave these settings alone and just force the formatting in the view. _Kevin -- Posted with http://DevLists.com. Sign up and save your mailbox.
