I''ve got a basic text field where somebody can enter their birthdate. I''m using a virtual attribute and all is working fine except if a date is entered between 38 and 68. Meaning that 01/01/69 will work fine and is interpreted as 01/01/1969 but 01/01/68 gives me a time out of range error: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/time.rb:184:in `local'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/time.rb:184:in `make_time'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/time.rb:243:in `parse'' app/models/user.rb:30:in `birthdate_string='' app/controllers/users_controller.rb:13:in `create'' Everything outside of 38 and 68 is ok. Anyone heard of such a thing? Here''s my model: def birthdate_string birthdate.to_s(:db) end def birthdate_string=(birthdate_str) self.birthdate = Time.parse(birthdate_str) if self.birthdate.year < 1000 self.birthdate += 1900.years elsif self.birthdate.year > 2000 self.birthdate -= 100.years end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
