similar to: Multiple Date Selectors, how to?

Howdy folks, As I was putting together a rough form for a rails app, I got to thinking how much smoother (in my siytuation) a little calendar widget would be than the default date picker selects. Does anyone know if such a thing exists ? I suspect it would have to be somewhat designed with rails in mind to populate the right kind of post params for convenient use at the controller end.

Does anyone know if someone has created a popup calendar helper for selecting dates? The current way in rails with the multiple selects is cumbersome at best, and I didn''t see any calendar type helpers in there.

I''m just curious about what techniques others have successfully used to capture date data on forms as an alternative to the standard date_select. I have to admit I''ve been lazy and only used the date_select as we have very few dates in our system now, but that is about to change. I would like something better. Any thoughts? -- Thanks, Sam -------------- next part

I am playing around with this and reference this wiki from RonR site... http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/CalendarHelper The error I am getting is: NameError in Placements#list undefined local variable or method `date_format'' for #<PlacementsController:0xb78f9ef4> RAILS_ROOT: script/../config/..

I have been trying to get one of the calender javascripts to work with the <%= form.text_field. So when the user pick the date it updates the time fields? (like in normal reservation system where you pick up the date and time from the calender and when user pick the selection it updates the field) but I could not get this to work. Does anyone have got something similar to work? or could

HI All, Please can anyone tell me whether there is a rails plugin/app that allows creation of a calendar that can render events. I am not talking about a calendar date picker of which there are several, but something more along the lines of http://www.backpackit.com/calendar where an html/css calendar can be rendered with dates highlighted. Many thanks Anthony

Hi, please have a look at http://www2.jeffcroft.com/2006/may/02/django-non-programmers/ especially the screenshot in the middle with the Calender. Instead of 3 selectfields with day, month, year I find this one much more userfriendly, also having yesterday, today and tomorrow. Are there plugins for this? I know http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/ which I often included in my php-sites, and

Is there a good date picker that can be used with prototype & scriptaculous library. I am looking for something outside ruby on rails.

I have a decoupled form embedded in my pages ? a search box that has date fields ? and of course the search fields are not in my model. However, picking dates is a great use for the Dynarch calendar. It seems that by using the syntax: <%= render :partial => ?filter_box? %> In my view and... <%= dynarch_date_select ''filter_box'', ''begin_date'' %>

Has anyone made, or does anyone know of, a nice calendar control based on prototype/scriptaculous out there yet? Thanks in advance!

All, does any one has a date picker sample code using rails and ajax that I can use as a starting point for mine? Thanks Patrick

My customer has dropdowns like this: Year Month Day If you submit with month selected and year blank, it subs in a year arbitrarily. Worse still, it subs in the year 5. I have no idea why. It seems a pernicious default. Anyway, they''re developing an app, they''re a designer turned coder, turning to a real programmer (me, allegedly) to make sense of the madness they''ve

I''ve got a partial with a form using the dynarch calendar (calendar_field behavior). Working. Now I render this partial from the action specified in to a link_to_remote. Now when I click the calendar it''s not showed anymore. theese lines: <%= stylesheet_link_tag ''calendar-system.css'' %> <%= javascript_include_tag ''calendar'',

Hi, We are trying to setup a tool developed on Ruby on Rails, that provides a Project Dashboard, with the following features: Abstract of the project.

Can you please suggest some tools with available source code that loosely

Hi, I want to install date picker from datebox.inimit.com. $ ruby script/plugin install datebox_engine Plugin not found: datebox_engine So I browse the website and download the universal file.

I am looking for some advice on how to make a date select display only valid days of the year. The standard date helper allows for you to choose 31 days for every month of the year. Since not all months have 31 days this can lead to invalid date entries for scheduling. I am thinking that an approach where I have a drop down for month and then use AJAX or normal client side javascript to

Finally found a nice date chooser script (http://projects.exactlyoneturtle.com/date_picker), but am a little confused how to implement it. So I put this where I need the date picker: <a id="_name_link" href="#" onclick="DatePicker.toggleDatePicker(''name'')" class="demo_link">[ choose date ]</a> <div

I have some forms on my site that use text boxes to enter dates. They typically default to today''s date, in the format "MM/DD/YYYY" However, sometimes a user will erase the box and type in a date, but instead of typing 02/01/2006, they''ll type 2/1/06. Once the record is created in the mysql database, it reads as ''0006-02-01'' instead of

Hi people. I need your help here, please. I have a rails 3.0.9 app, and I''m using Ajax to save some records to the database. To achieve this, I use a jquery modal form, but one of the fields is a datepicker, and if I click on it to display the calendar it doesn''t work. The thing is, I press submit without fill all the fields, so, my custom validations were shown, telling me
