Hi,
I have a model with start_date and end_date and a helper:
def period
"#{start_date} - #{end_date}"
end
in my view I have:
<%= f.collection_select :schedule_id,
@convention.schedules, :id, :period, {:selected => @schedule.id} %>
How can I show :period localized, as <%=l ... won''t work.
Regards
Arwed

Hi Colin,
thanks for your reply.
I defined my date formats in /config/locales/de.yml but I don''t know
how to format my dates in my model. In view I can do <%=l
@schedule.start_date %>.
Can you tell me how I can do that with #{start_date}? The format I
need is dd.mm.yyy
Regards
Arwed

Hi Colin,
I tried #{l start_date}, but I doesn''t work.
I was hoping there was a way to use "l" in some way in my model. With
strftime it works.
Thanks for your help

With > strftime it works.Possibly l is only available in views. In which case you would have to put the period method that uses "#{l @start-date} - #{l end-date}}" in the view helper.
