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 remember that I saw in

As far as I can tell, it''s not possible to use html_options in conjunction with the select_* helpers. This means using them in conjunction with observe_field etc is pretty much impossible. Does anyone have a patch to add this functionality, or know of a workaround? I''m having a look at the moment, but not sure how to get it working without breaking existing stuff. --

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 Everyone, I used "select_date" method in my application and got 3 select boxes for Date, Month and Year. Code : <td><%= text_field ''content'', ''title'' %></td> <td><%= text_field ''content'', ''description'' %></td> <td><%= select_date %></td>

Hi, I am doing the following: <% obj.contracts.each do |@contract| -%> ... <%= hidden_field("contract[]", :contractor_id, :index => @contract.contractor.id) %> <%= date_select("contract[]", :starting_on, :index => @contract.contractor.id) %> ... <% end -%> Here are the request parameters: {"commit"=>"Save",

I am a little confused about the best way to work with date_select. I see that in my views it generates a simple input form that allows for the entry of year, month and date information. If I just leave it at that, great! But what if now in the controller, I want to work with the date information. I actually want to take the user input date and compute a new date some number of days in the

I want to allow users to enter a day and a month, but not necessarily a year. i.e. it should be optional. If I select the day and month, but a blank year and then submit i get: 1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes The paramaters regarding the date look like this: {"date_of_birth(2i)"=>"3",

What is the best way to override some of the FormHelper default options? Right now I''m adding this to the beginning of my environment.rb: ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT_TEXT_AREA_OPTIONS = { "cols" => 80, "rows" => 5 } Is that the way it''s supposed to be done? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message

If I pass a date through date_select to a controller, can a Active Record object be found based on this date that is passed?

Hi there, I''m trying to override the defaults for form_helper.

Hi, i have some issues with the default rails error wrapping. It wraps errors in a div with class ''fieldsWithError'', which is not good practice in my eyes. Adding a class ''error'' to the field would be much nicer. My solution to the problem: build your own FormBuilder. Funny enough, i found no (nice) possibility to switch error wrapping off while using the

Guys, I''ve been chasing a problem with country_select for the past few hours now. My intention was pretty simple...use the following line in a form: <p><label for="country_region">Country</label> <%= f.country_select :country_region, "United States" %></p> However, for the life of me, I couldn''t get it to work. I kept getting

does anyone know of a way to make the date_helper deal with mysql dates with 00 values in them? I have lots of dates that are like the following: 2005-04-00 2005-00-00 and I need to set null values in a date_select for elements that are 00. These are valid dates in mysql. In the absence of an immediate solution to the above, I''ve been trying to find out how InstanceTag.new works so I can

I have a date where the year range is more then I want to define in a select_date scaffold generated year range.

Hi, I''ve been prying my way around form helpers and I need to do something very similar to date_select. I was thinking I might be able tailor it to suit my purposes and then came upon InstanceTag.new with a call to_date_select_tag at the end. I can''t find any mention of these anywhere else - can anyone give me any pointers as to what these two things do? thanks dorian -- I do
