similar to: datetime_select custom input fields

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

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

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: ''2005-12-13 00:00:00'' so my question is how do i get the time object properly

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.

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.

I have a customer that has a request that the select_datetime fields have AM/PM selectors instead of 24 hour time. The rails time and datetime selects seem to only support 24 hour time.

I found this while building a site where people can create vigils (prayer vigils, peace vigils, etc). When I added a validation method that compared start_date to created_at, it generated the error: ArgumentError (comparison of Time with DateTime failed): I was able to put a breakpoint in the

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?

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''m in this for some hours, but could not find a
