similar to: Insert NULL into MySQL "time" not 00:00:00

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 having trouble workign out which ActionView DateHelpers to display a time input for an ActiveRecord field of type :time. I just want an hours input and a minuites input. I can get these with time_select helper using :field_name and :prefix but it gives both hours and miniutes the same name. <%= select_time(Time.now, :prefix => "search", :field_name =>

I''m trying to record a list of start and end times, and they''re simply an hour and a minute. Looking at the API, there''s a select_time helper, but that just creates the tag. There''s a datetime_select helper which takes an object and method name, so it does all the magic...but I only want to worry about the hour and the minute. I''ve tried writing my

Hi all I have a model "party" that has a time field "starts_at". I have created a form to add new instances of this model. <%= select_date Date.today, :prefix => ''party'' %> Sadly I get the error: NoMethodError in Parties#add undefined method `month='' for #<Party:0x256a600> How can I fix this problem? I remember that I saw in

I''m getting errors whenever the user chooses, for example, April 31st ( since there is no 31st in April, navicat freaks out ), there MUST be a method that ruby has that would allow me to validate a date before I submit to navicat. I haven''t been able to find anything online about it either, it''s probably something simple, I just can''t figure it out. Thanks

Basically I need to know how to use forms fields when the attribute name for it doesn''t match a field in my database. I have a form like this. <td><%= date_select ''assessment'', ''ends_at_date'', :value => "Click here..." %> <%= time_select ''assessment'', ''ends_at_time''%></td> My

Over the past few months, I''ve developed an administrative console for databases in the process of solving other problems. At the moment, the state of development is: * Going to /admin_panel/model will bring you to a list of items in the model: * Supports acts_as_list via drag/drop sorting * Supports "activated" via an activated/deactivated button * Supports basic

Hello, I have a model which I would like to have a ''virtual'' date column. This column wouldn''t exist in the database, but would exist for validation, etc. The data would be provided in the form of a date_select in the view. This produces a multiparameter attribute. My problem is that the ''execute_callstack_for_multiparameter_attributes'' method in

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

Basically I need to know how to use forms fields when the name for it doesn''t match a field in my database. I have a form like this. <td><%= date_select ''assessment'', ''ends_at_date'', :value => "Click here..." %> <%= time_select ''assessment'', ''ends_at_time''%></td> My database has

when retreiving a date from a DATETIME field in a database, is there a way to set the date to the value of the DB in the view? It seems to always default to the current date... if I have a field called birthdate in the users table and i do @user = User.find(@params[:id]) in my view i have a <%= date_select ''birthdate'',''user'' %> but dont know how to

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},

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

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

Hello, Thanks in advance for reading.

Hi, I am upgrading a Rails application from Rails 3.1.11 to 3.2.12, but have a problem with ` accepts_nested_attributes_for` in conjunction with multipart attributes. The app is used to manage oral exams, so there is a model `Exam`, which has many `Examdate`s.

Ok I know this is off topic, but since you guys are usualy so helpful, I thought I''d try here first.

For those who have gone before, was it hard to find an outlet to plug into? Are they mindful of this? I hope so.
