method
select_datetime
select_datetime(datetime = Time.current, options = {}, html_options = {})
public
Returns a set of html select-tags (one for year, month, day, hour, and minute) pre-selected with the datetime. It’s also possible to explicitly set the order of the tags using the :order option with an array of symbols :year, :month and :day in the desired order. If you do not supply a Symbol, it will be appended onto the :order passed in. You can also add :date_separator and :time_separator keys to the options to control visual display of the elements.
If anything is passed in the html_options hash it will be applied to every select tag in the set.
Examples
my_date_time = Time.now + 4.days # Generates a datetime select that defaults to the datetime in my_date_time (four days after today) select_datetime(my_date_time) # Generates a datetime select that defaults to today (no specified datetime) select_datetime() # Generates a datetime select that defaults to the datetime in my_date_time (four days after today) # with the fields ordered year, month, day rather than month, day, year. select_datetime(my_date_time, :order => [:year, :month, :day]) # Generates a datetime select that defaults to the datetime in my_date_time (four days after today) # with a '/' between each date field. select_datetime(my_date_time, :date_separator => '/') # Generates a datetime select that discards the type of the field and defaults to the datetime in # my_date_time (four days after today) select_datetime(my_date_time, :discard_type => true) # Generates a datetime select that defaults to the datetime in my_date_time (four days after today) # prefixed with 'payday' rather than 'date' select_datetime(my_date_time, :prefix => 'payday')
