similar to: date validation

I''m having a problem converting a date retrieved from my MySQL database and I''m hoping someone can help. MySQL stores the date/time as this: 2005-03-08 17:00:34.0 and according to my Pickaxe book Ruby stores times as "the number of seconds and microseconds since [...] January 1, 1970". All well and good. Unfortunately, RoR is converting my date to this:

Hello, I have a model which I would like to have a ''virtual'' date column. This column wouldn''t exist in the database, but would exist for validation, etc. The data would be provided in the form of a date_select in the view. This produces a multiparameter attribute. My problem is that the ''execute_callstack_for_multiparameter_attributes'' method in

I''m trying to get a page to validate as XHTML Strict, and I''ve gotten everything fixed except for one <textarea> that Rails is generating. <textarea cols="40" id="estcomment_comment" name="estcomment[comment]" rows="10" wrap="virtual"></textarea> This tag is being called in my view with <%=

I''ve been following the rails/osx tutorial at http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html This develops a simple application with expenses and accounts. Near the end of the tutorial, there is a view which allows expenses to be added to an account. This view has the "parent" @account rendered, then iterates throught @account.expenses to display the existing accounts,

I''ve been to the RoR api docs trying to find out about options for various methods (mostly for select helper methods), yet I find no listing of options even when the method described says that it takes options. How can I find out what are valid options say for a date_select tag? Thanks, Dave

Thanks to everyone who responded to my first set of questions. Not only did I get my questions answered but I improved my code and learned a couple new things. I think I prefer the mailing list over IRC... easier to follow :-) I have some more questions if you don''t mind. Some are Rails related and some are Ruby related. 1) This is concerning displaying error messages. I am assuming

Hello, I am trying to deal with a database table that contains a date in the form of the number of seconds since epoch. Data is inserted in this format by an existing script that I can''t change, so a schema change isn''t realistic. I would like to allow humans to view and edit this data in the form of an actual human-readable date. I figured a facade column would be the

Recently I wanted to check that my test data was valid. Seems like a reasonable thing to want to do so I thought I''d share the rake task. Add this code to a rake file in lib/tasks and run with rake db:fixtures:validate. It will print out the class, record id and error messages for any model objects that fail validation. Enjoy! -Jonathan. -- namespace :db do namespace :fixtures do

This afternoon I was looking at the tickets posted in Trac, and I saw that there we quite a few stale tickets and patches. A lot of these are filed against very old versions of Rails, I think it''s fair for the people posting these tickets that they get resolved. Either by just removing them all or by weeding them out. I understand that closing tickets is not very glamorous work

Hi, I''ve looked on api.rubyonrails.org but I''ve not found how to add to a date_select(object, method, options = {}) a class option to set the class of all the select tags. I''ve tried using "class" => "myclass" in thoose ways: <%= date_select("costo", "data", "class" => "testo" ) %> <%=

I am using date_select and in some instances it only shows about 10 years worth of choices. Same form on other users shows the whole range. date_select looks like this <%= date_select ''user'',''birthdate'' , :start_year => 1940 %> I would expect to always see 1940-2006 or so , but i dont always do. Is there a way to force the range or explain why i

Hi, I render a couple of date_select fields, the HTML looks fine, I can see the values submitted back to the server, but AR doesn''t pick them up from the hash in Booking.new(params[''booking'']). I''ve got a ''booking'' object with parameters product, startdate and enddate. HTML snippets: <select

when retreiving a date from a DATETIME field in a database, is there a way to set the date to the value of the DB in the view? It seems to always default to the current date... if I have a field called birthdate in the users table and i do @user = User.find(@params[:id]) in my view i have a <%= date_select ''birthdate'',''user'' %> but dont know how to

Just looked at the Date helper in the rails API and noticed that none of the functions there (i.e. date_select) allow me to specify html options (i.e. class) for the generated selects. I was wondering how do other group members css format date select dropdowns?
