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 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 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

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

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 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''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},

Ok I''m not sure what I''m doing wrong, but I have a table that holds a bunch of times, however when I don''t fill in the text box that passes it''s input on to the variables, rails defaults to 00:00:00, which is bad, because that''s midnight. I''m pretty sure I''m doing somethign wrong, and I''m even thinking of using the

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, 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. When creating an exam, I can also create the examdates, consisting of a date, a start time and an end time. While the date field is

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,

I am "script\generate scaffold"ing w/ Oracle. The CRUD controls for DATE columns in _form.rhtml are generated as datetime_select, rather than date_select . This is understandable, as Oracle uses a DATETIME data type for DATE columns. I''m also not too bothered by the fact that I have to manually replace "datetime_select" w/ "date_select" for all

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

Hi, I''m having trouble getting a date helper working. I was pointed to this by Sean Allen, and it resides at http://theredheadedstepchild.net/articles/2005/08/04/datehelper-fixes It''s meant to fix the bug in Rails which doesn''t allow datetime_select to properly discard the year. So, I''m trying to use the helper''s time_select function. date_helper.rb

In my work with a simple localization plugin, i''m running into a lot of places in the Rails core, where text and other localization specific information is hardcoded. I''ve included some examples in the bottom of this post. It''s hard for an outsider to know, if the hardcoded values are a result of inconsistency in code, or "by design". I hope that we can have

Hello Our Database schema, and hence Our Model has a few datetime columns/ fields. But when entering new instances, We only want to present time (i.e. HH:MM) in in our HTML views to the user. The time_select looks useful, because it has an attractive minute_select: =>15, so the user can enter 1/4 hours increments.

Hi everyone, I have a form that has a date_select form field. Now for some reasons out of my control I need to save the date generated by date_select to a ''text'' field in mysql 5.0.
