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.

by default datetime_select allows the user to input any date and time they want. Is there a way it can only allow a user to select an hour between 8AM and 6PM and only allow them to choose the top of the hour (:00) and the half hour (:30) for the minute? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on

How do I get a value from datetime_select? Do I need to get each value from it''s dropdown element individually or is there a way to get the date by referencing one object? Anyone have any good examples? -Andy

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

Hello It seems that datetime_select, is creating an instance of the Time class. Why would that be? 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

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).

Hello, apologies if this has a trivial solution but after rumaging around google for a while I haven''t found one.
