similar to: datetime_select and discard

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

I''m currently building a small app that''s going to be used to keep track of the amount of time spend on customers of the company I work for. This mainly consists of object with a begin time, an end time and a calculation of the difference between those timestamps (actual time spend on the job). I made a small form with a datetime_select helper for the begin and end time (the

Hi All I''m attempting to make a simple time select field so I thought I just needed a datetime_select with the option :discard_year => true. However, every ''discard'' option except discard_year seems to work. So I''m left with a year, hour and minute to select. Could anyone please point me in the right direction? Much appreciated.

Hello, I am trying to deal with a database table that contains a date in the form of the number of seconds since epoch. Data is inserted in this format by an existing script that I can''t change, so a schema change isn''t realistic. I would like to allow humans to view and edit this data in the form of an actual human-readable date. I figured a facade column would be the

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(:user2,

the date_select form helper has a neat little 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

I''ve updated to 2.1 and am continuing to have issues with datetime_select helpers which worked fine previously. Example: <% form_remote_tag(:url => { :controller => ''notes'', :action => :add_booking_note_ajax, :id => @booking},

Is there a way to make datetime_select() dropdowns work on a 12hr clock? 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. Should I change my database to have a separate column for date and one for time and use date_select()? Can

Hi everyone, Is there a time select helper which uses a 12 hour clock rather than a 24 hour one? Also, does anyone know if :discard_year actually works in datetime_select now, or how I could find this out? Thanks! Daniel

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 another one

Hi everyone! I just started learning Ruby on Rails about a week ago for a school project, and can''t seem to find a solution for something. I have this inside the form inside of edit_albums.rhtml: <%= start_form_tag :action=>''proccess_edit_album'', :id=>@album.id %> .... Release Date: <%= datetime_select(:album, :release_date, :start_year => 1960)

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 this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on

I get errors when committing to a postgresql time field using datetime_select discarding year,month, day. Also, year shows on my form despite calling "discard_year=>1. Do I need a special mapping for time fields ? Any ideas?

If I have a form similar to the one below, and ''start'' is a "string" 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/> <%=
