Hello, I''ve changed the default date format in my envornment.rb: ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(:default => ''%d/%m/%Y'') Now I can display my database date rows with the .to_s and they appear as expected: day,month,year. But the dates in the database are wrong from the entered ones. I''ve spent some time searching through the web/forums and all that I''ve found are really difficult and hard solutions to solve this problem. There''s no automatic conversion from default format to database format ? user format: dd/mm/yyyy database format: yyyy-mm-dd what I get in the database is yyyy-dd-mm And my :db format is ok: :db=>"%Y-%m-%d" ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS => {:rfc822=>"%e %b %Y", :number=>"%Y%m%d", :short=>"%e %b", :db=>"%Y-%m-%d", :long=>"%B %e, %Y", :long_ordinal=>#<Proc:0x011a830c@/Users/montx/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/core_ext/date/conversions.rb:11>} thanks! r. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
