Hi All In my project I am to take date of birth from user so I used datetime_select. It renders three selection boxes, year, month and day. But I want order as day, month and year. I added :order option for datetime_select, it renders normal selection boxes with order year, month and day. Why :order does not work with datetime_select? see my following code <%= datetime_select(...

...le feature which lets you specify the order of the month/day/year that is displayed on the form via the :order parameter. i.e. <%= date_select ''blah'', ''somedate'', :order=>[ :month, :day, :year ] %> however, i don''t see a similar option for datetime_select. passing an :order parameter is happily ignored by the method. i would assume this is the case because either :order needs more parameters (:hour, :minute don''t work) or it is not parsed in a datetime_select context. so, is this ordering available in datetime_select? thanks!

I need to make a input field that works exactly like the reminders datetime selecton dropdowns in Backpack to populate a datetime field in my DB. i.e in the format: month, day, year ? hour (1-12) minute am/pm.

Hi, I have a datetime select in my form like this: DATE/TIME REPORTED: <%= datetime_select ''report'', ''rep_date'' %> This works beautifully for creating a new record. The data is saved as: 2006-08-07 11:33:00 Now, the problem is when I try to load the form with saved values to do an update. The above code works and loads the saved data in anothe...

I would like to have a date control on a page and I would like a behavior similar to what you get using date_select with the :include_blank => true option where the first value in the dropdown is "- Month -", "- Day -", or "- Year -" rather than a blank value for the respective month, day, and year select fields. I took a look at the ruby source for

by default datetime_select allows the user to input any date and time they want. Is there a way it can only allow a user to select an hour between 8AM and 6PM and only allow them to choose the top of the hour (:00) and the half hour (:30) for the minute? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received thi...

...ame. <%= select_time(Time.now, :prefix => "search", :field_name => "start_time") %> <select name="search[start_time]"> <!-- hour options --> <select name="search[start_time]"> <!-- min options --> I see when you use the datetime_select it gives each element something like 1i, 2i, 3i and 4i, this does not happen with select_time. The datetime_select would work if I could get rid of the date part, there is no time_select helper! And I have tried adding the :discard option but it does not get rid of the year... <%= datetime_...

Hello all, I have a form with a datetime_select. I need to use the actual time selected in an action triggered by observe_field. Could make it work with other select fields, but not with datetime_select. Seems that observe_field can locate the element just by the id (not by the name). If so, how can I set the ID of datetime_select ??? I'&...

Hello, apologies if this has a trivial solution but after rumaging around google for a while I haven''t found one. I am trying to set the style of the datetime_select compound widget but it appears to ignore all my efforts ... the API specifies datetime_select(object, method, options = {}) so you would expect <%= datetime_select ''log'', ''available_start_on'', :class=>"some_css_class" %> to work? Or am I mi...

ok so datetime_select if you use the discard options say { :discard_month => true } when you just do update_attributes on said object year would be correct month would be the hour date would be the minute so if you select year: 2005 hour: 12 minute: 13 the time object would go into the db as: ''2005-12...

...se in_time_zone to adjust per the particular venue. The only issue is on the edit form. The date/time select is showing the data in UTC. When I''m working on the site, I mentally adjust, but for others it''s confusing. I''d like to do something along the lines of: <%= f.datetime_select :start_datetime.in_time_zone(@event.time_zone) %> Or, in the controller: def edit @performance = Performance.find(params[:id]) @event = @performance.event @performance.start_datetime = @performance.start_datetime.in_time_zone(@event.time_zone) end Then simply, <%= f.datetime_select :...

...ring" field in my Database. Is there a way to take all of the date/time params and put them into ''start'' without too much hacking? I would like this to be as clean as possible. <p><label for="start_time">Start Time</label><br/> <%= form.datetime_select ''start'' %></p> To clarify, when "new" is called, my rails app does the standard: @period = Period.new(params[:whatever]) I''d rather not break that apart if possible. Please let me know if this doesn''t make sense. Thanks! --~--~---------~-...

Is it possible to add an onchange handler to a datetime_select call? I realize the complication exists in that the helper actually creates many different select elements, but rails could just spread the onchange across all of them. -Payton
