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

Hi guys, I''m having problems with my app. First of all, I created a date_select with the code: <%= date_select(''contact'', ''birthday'', :order => [''day'',''month'',''year'']) %> In the contacts table, I create a date field: birthday DATE When I save the values goes wrong into the database.

In my date_select if I choose 31 april 2008, it converts it for 1st may 2008 which it seems odd for me? I say odd because first its difficult to validate at the model level, I have to hook some code in the controller and secondly when I finally get the validation errors I have to go back at the edit page and show the selected date(and the error message) which should be 31 april 2008 but the date

Hi, How can I set a default date for a date_select? I''m trying to do something along the lines of: <%= date_select("requirement", "target_date", :end_year => 2020, :discard_day => true, :include_blank => true, :order => [:month, :year], :default => {:month => 10, :year => 2012 }) %> but the default that comes up on the form is blank month

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 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

I''ve been banging my head against this wall for several hours, and it hurts now so I''ll stop and ask someone. In one of my forms I had been using a statement to extract the current year for use with some form field calculations. <% currentyear = DateTime.now.year %> And then further down several date_selects like the following, <%= date_select

Hi there, I''m new to Rails -- started with this project just about five days ago -- I''m re-building an in-house ordering tool, and it would be handy to pre-populate a date_select field with a value two weeks from now. The calculation isn''t the hard part, it''s getting date_select to pre-populate itself. Any suggestions? Thanks, --Jim

Hey, When I use date select in rails it gives me this really weird string. How can I make a date selector in my view that the gives me a value that can be used straight in a find query.

Hi, I''ve put together a simple form that contains among other things a date_select: <%= date_select(:user, :dob, :order => [:day, :month, :year], :start_year => 1900, :end_year => Date.today.year) %> In my controller I have some code to create a user entity from the parameters posted up from the form, like so: parameters:

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

Folks, I think I should start a new thread for this, because a similar one I saw is a bit old and the resolution there doesn''t seem to apply to what I''m running into now. Anyway, my date_select calls are bombing on me with the exception: ---- ActionView::TemplateError (wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)) on line #8 of entries/_dates_form.haml: 8: = date_select(

Hi, I have this helper and would like to add a html class to each of the select box''s it generates, however I have been unable to find a way? <%= f.date_select ''date_of_birth'', :order => [:day,:month,:year], :start_year => 1940, :end_year => Time.now.year, :include_blank => true %> Any suggestions? thanks john -- Posted via

Hi All: Just curious if anyone has figured out how to set a default date for the date_select helper. My application has a form with both a start date and end date select for the user. Since the period between the two is a minimum of 24 hours I wanted to have the start date default to Date.today (which it does automatically) and then have the end date default to the following date (i.e.

I could use some help with translating month names for the date_select helper using gettext. Think my best bet would be to override the ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper.select_month method once gettext is initialized, which is done by a before_filter in ApplicationContext, but have no idea how I would go about that. Any suggestions appreciated, Isak

I have this date select helper: <%= date_select("customer", "dob", :include_blank => true, :order => [:month, :day]) %> I get this error when posting the form: 1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes The error happens when I take off the :year option. Any clues as to why this maybe happening? Serge
