Hello all. I don''t suppose some enterprising soul with much more skill than me has whipped up a "validates_dateness_of" (Complete with leap year calculations) method for use with all the other validation methods and wishes to spread much much joy?

This plugin gives ActiveRecord the ability to do stricter date checking. Example: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_date :date_of_birth end This will ensure that date_of_birth is a *valid* date. The date can be set initially as a string in any of the following formats: "2006-01-01" "1 Jan 06", or "1 Jan 2006" "1/1/06" # Day /

Hi, Does anyone know of a method to validate a DateTime field? I''ve looked at the validation docs and the validates_date / validates_time plug-in but I can''t find a method to validate a value in the format of yyyymmddhhmm.

Ok, so to me this seems like a very trivial issue, but it is causing hours of frustration. I am hoping that an extra thousand or so sets of eyes will point out where I am obviously making a newbie mistake. I have the following string: "08-04-2006" representing August 4, 2006 I set my attribute ''po_date'' equal to this string and then save it to the database. My

Just wanted to send a quick thank you to the contributers on this forum. Today, with the help of many around here, I launched ohdontforget.com!

Hey All, Anyone know of a library for parsing "human" dates, like "this friday" or "2 days ago"? I used to use strtotime in php, but starting from here; http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/PhpStrtotime and doing lots of googling, I haven''t been able to find anything similar for ruby. I know of javascript solutions to this, but I''d need to do

I have a simple method in a model, to send out e-mails via the script/runner. def Reminder.dropoff @messages = Reminder.find(:all, :conditions => [ "time < now()"]) @messages.each do |mes| Mailman::deliver_send_message(mes) end end However, it''s not sending e-mails. When this exact code was dropped in a controller, it worked great... is there

A quick note about acts_as_modified, acts_as_ordered and validates_date_time. If you are using any of those plugins you should update them. They''ve all had improvements/bug fixes. Also, acts_as_modified is now being maintained by both Chris Hall and myself. http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/acts_as_ordered http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/acts_as_modified

I built my rails app locally, and just today put it all online. Getting a "Application error (Rails)" when trying to submit some form parameters to the db.

Can somebody tell me why the following RegExp doesn''t work for date validation in Rails... It validates fine in RadRails -- using REgExp panel. Intended format: (mm/dd/yyyy): %r{^(0[1-9]|1[012])(-|/)(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])(-|/)(19|20)([0-9][0-9])$} If i try the following, it works in Rails: %r{(0[1-9]|1[012])(-|/)(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])} When I add the last piece, it

I''m running Oracle and in my table i have a field: SCHEDULED_DATE of type DATE.
