I have an irregular time series, which cannot easily be converted to a ts object (long stretches with NA). I have calculated the climatological mean and st.dev, but need help on how to calculate the anomalies from the climatology and my original data set. Below is an example, where I have indicated the basic idea of what I want to do under Question 1 and 2. I assume I will have to create a custom

Hi all, I would like to flag each record in the data according to certain conditions as specified below. For example, If "Close_date" in *dat* is between ("Open" & "Close") or ("Open1" & "Close1") or ("Open2" & "Close2") in *oc, *flag the records as "Valid", otherwise "Invalid" I would like to

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

Hi! I can use RJS in views like this (without using ajax): <%=link_to_function("switch fields", update_page do |page| page.insert_html :before, ''date'', date_select(''exhibition'', ''date'') page.remove ''date'' end) %> Is there a way to move this RJS code into a function to separate file? .js files are not parsed

what is the difference between destroy and delete in AR I am not sure what they mean by "Destroys the record with the given id by instantiating the object and calling destroy<http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M000866>(all the callbacks are the triggered). If an array of ids is provided, all of them are destroyed." in

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 am trying to push some view logic into a helper. The thought is that this is a step towards having the business logic in the helper rather than the view. However, I''m essentially wrapping the checks around an eventual call to date_select(). The problem I''m having is that the application complains that it doesn''t know about date_select(). I''m sure (or

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},

Hi, I''m looking for a way to customize the HTML forms generated by date_select. I''m especially keen on replacing the year and possibly day input by a simple text field, since honestly, I find listboxes for years to be quite retarded (if I wanted client-side validation, there would be better ways to do that instead of having people try and find their year of birth in a list of

Appologies if this has been covered, But it seems the search is busted. I have a simple model object "Biostat" which I am trying to add a new record to. this is the form: <%= form_remote_tag( :update=>''statsTable'', :url=>{:action=>''new''}, :html=> {:action=>''new'',

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

Hi, I''ve looked on api.rubyonrails.org but I''ve not found how to add to a date_select(object, method, options = {}) a class option to set the class of all the select tags. I''ve tried using "class" => "myclass" in thoose ways: <%= date_select("costo", "data", "class" => "testo" ) %> <%=

Hi. I am writing an application that has a lot of boolean conditional display logic, like this: <% if user.description then %> <p class="css_class"><%= user.description %></p> <% end %> Often the displayed content is more complex than the above, and to clean up my views I am trying to pull a lot of this sort of thing into partials. However, the problem

Hi, Im using radrails and mysql database, im using DATE in mysql for a date of birth column, When i use this in Radrails the date shows as dropdown lists, the days and month are fine but the year list only shows 2002-2012. Is there any way of extending the years? as its not suitable for date of birth. Any help appreciated -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am using date_select and in some instances it only shows about 10 years worth of choices. Same form on other users shows the whole range. date_select looks like this <%= date_select ''user'',''birthdate'' , :start_year => 1940 %> I would expect to always see 1940-2006 or so , but i dont always do. Is there a way to force the range or explain why i

Hi, I render a couple of date_select fields, the HTML looks fine, I can see the values submitted back to the server, but AR doesn''t pick them up from the hash in Booking.new(params[''booking'']). I''ve got a ''booking'' object with parameters product, startdate and enddate. HTML snippets: <select

Just looked at the Date helper in the rails API and noticed that none of the functions there (i.e. date_select) allow me to specify html options (i.e. class) for the generated selects. I was wondering how do other group members css format date select dropdowns?

Hey all, Using date_select in a form, how can I make the Year field a text_field instead of a select? It looks like it will take more than a simple modification of the date_select method.
