def format_date(value)
sprintf value.day.to_s + '.' + value.month.to_s + '.' + value.year.to_s
end
Or whatever you'd like.Petertag:source.mihelac.org,2006-09-13:23:1072007-02-16T14:22:16Z2007-02-16T14:22:16ZComment on 'Parsing european date format in Ruby/Rails' by PeterAs none of the strategies I found did fully satisfy me, I have now made a plugin that does format the date, selectively for specific attributes, when<br />
1. pre-filling an input form (from a database entry or some default),<br />
2. parsing the input form from a POST action<br />
3. (optionally) presenting it in regular output<br />
All one has to do is mention the respective attributes in the model, like
dt_datum_parse :date_field1, :date_field2, ...<br />
dt_datum_view :date_field1, :date_field2, ...<br />
It provides the "german" date (like "28.02.2007") and works with postgresQL - which is what I need. (It does currently not support "datetime" fields and such.)
You're welcome to try it out, optimize, enhance it...
