similar to: Validating a DateTime

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 /

Can someone point me to a date/time validator or updater. I have an event start datetime and an event end datetime. I want to validate that the end datetime is after the start datetime.

Hello all, There''s a great patch in trac that fixes a lof of issues with the date helpers. I''m afraid it hasn''t had any attention yet. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3811 This fixes all the little date_helper problems, except one: When you choose an invalid date ActiveRecord throws an ActiveRecord::MultiparameterAssignmentErrors. This used to work in 1.0,

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?

I have an application that requires users to be in a specific age group, or above a certain age. For simplicity sake lets say they have to be at least 18. This is my most recent attempt to produce the desired result: validates_exclusion_of :birthday, :in => Range.new(Date.today, Date.parse( (18.years.ago).strftime(''%Y/%m/%d'') )), :message => "does not meet

I am wondering why is in creating text fields with form_helper used value_before_type_cast instead of attribute value for field value? I set rails enviroment so date fields are in european format (dd.mm.yyyy) and would like to have same format in forms, but because of value_before_type_cast is called, form fields are filled with ''yyyy-mm-dd'' or timestamp integer, etc.

I am building a small app that reuires some clever text pattern matching... In my controller, I''ll have a string that I will want to parse out to a datetime and a message, a la Google Calendar Quick Add. Examples: 10/30/2006 7pm message 10-30-96 7:00 pm message 10/30/2006 19:00pm message ... You see what I''m getting at. For a v1.0 release, I CAN publish some standards for

Greetings! I'm sure the solution is simple, but describing the problem is long. Here goes. I have a samba server on my network of mostly windows machines, and all works fine. The windows machines can read and write and create files and directories just fine. I have a Linux machine on the network and although it can mount and read the files on the Samba server, I can not write to it. When

Hi, I have a table which has a column called due_date. Datatype of this column in mySQL is "Date". Here is what I extracted from schema.rb > t.column "due_date", :date My fixture tasks.yml file has the following line > due_date: 07/17/2006 My test_task.rb has the following line > assert_equal "07/17/2006", @task.due_date When I run

I''ve tried Time.parse() and DateTime.parse() but they interpret the date as US format. Is there any way to tell it to interpret as dd/mm/yyyy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I want to check if this is a bug for which I should file a report. I am using R2.5.0 on OS X 10.4.9. When I invoke the data editor and when I change the values of individual cells, it seems to work as intended. However, when I try to delete/add a row/column, R.app crashes. I've attached the crash log. Best, -Nathan -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and

Hi, I''ve got stuck with a problem on my rails app - I''ve created a database for quotes and bookings, with a futher table "eventdetails" (details of a quote or booking) linked one-one for both tables using a polymorphic assciation.

Hi I am using following say.conf file. Its a default file, which comes with Asterisk installation. When I call SAY DATETIME AGI function, it simply returns without playing date & time. Where as if I use mode=old setting, it works. Is this a bug or mode=new is not implemented for SAY DATETIME AGI function? [general] mode=new ; method for playing numbers and dates ;

Can someone explain why form helpers appear to bypass any model methods I override for fields that are bound to database fields? It would be great if someone could tell me how to force the form field, etc to call the method instead of looking at the database / attributes collection. Let''s say I have a column called ''price'' in my database table "books"

Hi, I''m trying to submit data from text boxes on a form to one variable in my controller, in the same way that datetime_select has date(1i), date(2i), etc for day, month, year, etc... I''ve named my variables event[start_date(1i)] event[start_date(2i)] and event[start_date(3i)] but this doesn''t seem to work and event[:start_date] is blank ... any pointers would be

Is there a way to make datetime_select() dropdowns work on a 12hr clock? I need to make a input field that works exactly like the reminders datetime selecton dropdowns in Backpack to populate a datetime field in my DB. i.e in the format: month, day, year ? hour (1-12) minute am/pm. Should I change my database to have a separate column for date and one for time and use date_select()? Can

I have AMOUNT field that ActiveRecord maps to Float. Then I use text_field helper to generate text inputs on forms. Helper takes model object and attribute name and does not provide any formatting abilities, thus 2.40 is shown as 2.4 which is fine with floats but does not look good with currency. I have worked around this issue by adding amount_f attribute to the model that returns formatted
