I have been looking all through the documentation and can''t find anything to display the time in 12 hours format with an AM/PM option. Is there an option for datetime_select to do this? Or a plugin?

Sorry about that
# File vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/
date_helper.rb, line 209
It seems as though it only goes from 0-23.
You can define your own select_hour (my_select_hour) and basically:
209: def my_select_hour(datetime, options = {})
210: val = datetime ? (datetime.kind_of?(Fixnum) ? datetime :
datetime.hour) : ''''
211: if options[:use_hidden]
212: hidden_html(options[:field_name] || ''hour'',
val, options)
213: else
214: hour_options = []
215: 0.upto(23) do |hour|
216: hour_options << ((val == hour) ?
217: %(<option value="#{leading_zero_on_single_digits
(hour)}"
selected="selected">#{leading_zero_on_single_digits(hour)}</
option>\n) :
218: %(<option value="#{leading_zero_on_single_digits
(hour)}">#{leading_zero_on_single_digits(hour)}</option>\n)
219: )
220: end
221: select_html(options[:field_name] || ''hour'',
hour_options, options)
222: end
223: end
Change 217/218 to read something like
%(<option value="#{leading_zero_on_single_digits(hour)}"
selected="selected">#{ (hour == 0 ? 12 : ( hour > 12 ? hour - 12
:
hour )) } #{( hour >= 12 ? "PM" :
"AM")}</option>\n) :
%(<option value="#{leading_zero_on_single_digits(hour)}">>#{
(hour ==
0 ? 12 : ( hour > 12 ? hour - 12 : hour )) } #{( hour >= 12 ?
"PM" :
"AM")}</option>\n)

Of all the things rails does, it can''t do a 12 hour time drop down.

Came across this post and wanted to add my own solution, which isn''t
better than the above mentioned ones, just another option (also doesn''t
require losing the original rails helper and/or installing another
plugin).
in application_helper.rb or something:
def my_hour_select
str =
select_tag(''hour'',options_for_select([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12])
end
then in your view:
<%= my_hour_select %>
You could use the ''selected'' option from options_for_select
and
Time.now.hour to select the current hour if needed.
You can then set the name of the select to match a column in your model
for re-usability by adding an option to the method like so:
def my_hour_select(field_name)
str =
select_tag(field_name,options_for_select([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12])
end
and in your view:
<%= my_hour_select(''event[start_time]'' %>
Cheers,
divotdave

Is > there an option for datetime_select to do this? Or a plugin?Personally, I think of the Rails date_select helpers in a similar way I think of scaffolding. It''s fine for "quick-n-dirty" entry of dates and times, but for a "real" application go find a decent calendar widget. One that supports entry of both date and time in a more intuitive and user friendly way. Here''s one example: http://github.com/timcharper/calendar_date_select (Demo: http://electronicholas.com/calendar) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
