I have haml that uses formtastic to specify date_select input (year,month,day):
= f.input :birthday,
start_year: 1900,
end_year: time.now.year-18,
input_html: { class: 'select2' }
Which renders me 3 select boxes with parent element class as a placeholder:
<select ... placeholder=".span1">
How to specify placeholders? Year;Month;Day would be good enough.
According to Formtastic Documentation:
<%= f.input :publish_at, :as => :date_select, :labels => { :year => "Year", :month => "Month", :day => "Day" } %>
[Edit]
If formtastic-bootstrap gem is used, you probably need to use :placeholder as it is used on the code.
Though, on master the :placeholder option is not implemented, with a TODO comment instead.

I have a form partial that has a date field. It uses the datepicker class.
Currently, I have it set to display the current-date:
<%= form_for(#weight) do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :workout_date, { :size => 20, :type => 'date', :class => "date-picker", :readonly => false, :value => Date.today } %>
Because I use this form/partial on both the new and edit views, I would like it to show either the date in the model (for an edit) or the current date (for a new record).
I tried this:
<%= f.text_field :workout_date, { :size => 20, :type => 'date', :class => "date-picker", :readonly => false, :value => #weight.workout_date.present? ? #weight.workout_date : Date.today } %>
But, this displays 09/01/2019, when viewing the new form today 09/12/2019.
Ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Can this be done?
Thanks for any tips.
I think I figured this out. In my migration to create the weights model:
t.date "workout_date", :default => Date.today I created this on 09/01/2019, so the form is using this date.
<%= form_for(#weight) do |f| %> I'm passing a weight object for a new record. It must see that default date and use it.
Fix: create a migration to removed that default date. OR, since the new model record does not have an ID, I can do this cheap-hack, which works, until I fix the model:
<%= f.text_field :workout_date, { :size => 20, :type => 'date', :class => "date-picker", :readonly => false, :value => #weight.id.present? ? #weight.workout_date : Date.today } %>
I also do not need the .present?. It works without it.
How to put placeholder in rails simpleform association. I have tried a different ways but nothing works for me. The target code is:
<%= f.association :sex, :include_blank => true %>
If you are using Select2, you can include placeholders in select elements. The requirement is to include a blank element as first item and you can include the placeholder text as a data HTML attribute.
In your case:
<%= f.association :sex, include_blank: true,
data: { placeholder: 'Search...'} %>
Please check the simple_form.rb in initializers
You can find something below
# Use this setup block to configure all options available in SimpleForm.
SimpleForm.setup do |config|
.
.
.
config.wrappers :default, :class => :input, :hint_class => :field_with_hint, :error_class => :field_with_errors do |b|
## Extensions enabled by default
# Calculates placeholders automatically from I18n
# You can also pass a string as f.input :placeholder => "Placeholder"
b.use :placeholder
.
.
end
end
so it is depends on translational file
So you need to do for user model sex attribute
en:
simple_form:
placeholders:
user:
sex:
As placeholder works for input
Then you try this
<% f.association :user do |u| %>
<%= u.input :sex %>
<% end %>
And It should work
Using Rails 5.0.0.beta2 and Simple Form 3.2.1, this works for me:
<%= f.association :strands,
collection: Strand.order(label: :asc),
include_blank: "-- Select strands --"
%>
I had no luck using various permutations on :prompt and some of the other ideas that I found suggested here.
<%= f.association :sex, :include_blank => true, placeholder: "sex" %>
I want to input only year field in my rails form. I tried select_year but it doesn't work for me. select_date also gave me problem because my form models is in association. Is there any alternative idea.
Ref:- select_year
# Generates a select field for years that defaults to the current year that
# is named 'birth' rather than 'year'
<%= f.select_year(Date.today, :field_name => 'birth') %>
but if you don't have any column then just use
<%= select_year(Date.today) %>
Ref this and try something like
<%= select_year Date.today, :start_year => Time.now.year, :end_year => Time.now.year - 95, :field_name => :grad_year, :prefix => :profile %>
I am trying to create a db that has a year attribute but I am having some difficulty. I created the scaffold and tryied to modify the _form.html.erb with this code:
<%= f.date_select :year, :start_year=>2000, :end_year=>Time.now.year %>
Tried to run the rails server and gave me this error:
1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes
I realized that I only wanted the year and not the day or month. Is there a way to do that? I tried :discard_month=>true but that just hides it, but still storing it.
Thanks in advance
Do something like:
<%= f.date_select :year, :order => [:year], :start_year => 2000, :end_year => Time.now.year, :prompt => {:year => "Select year"} %>
Because your year field is an int and not a datetime:
<%= f.select :year, (2000..Time.now.year).to_a, :include_blank => {:year => "Select year"} %>
Another alternative is select_year
e.g.,
select_year(Date.current, start_year: 2015, end_year: Date.current.year)
I have a form in my Rails 3 app where I want to create a select tag for just the year on a method :grad_year. I have everything working - and storing - properly using date_select and adding :discard_month and :discard_day. However when I render #profile.grad_year I get the month and day values. So I'm wondering how to store and render only the year for #profile.grad_year?
Here is the form:
<%= f.date_select :grad_year, {:start_year => Time.now.year, :end_year => Time.now.year - 95, :discard_day => true, :discard_month => true}, :selected => #profile.grad_year %>
In my migration:
t.date :grad_year
Rails has a select_year helper:
http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper/select_year
So your code should look like:
f.select_year(Date.today, :start_year => Time.now.year, :end_year => Time.now.year - 95, :field_name => 'grad_year')
Assembling all of the above from #alex_peattie's answer, I arrived at the following:
<%= select_year Date.today, :start_year => Time.now.year, :end_year => Time.now.year - 95, :field_name => :grad_year, :prefix => :profile %>
As with the OP's question, my case was done within a form_for block, so f.select_year threw an exception. But if you just use the documented :field_name option, the tag will have the id date_grad_year and name date[grad_year] which are not what Rails expects. Using the (documented only at the very top of the API) :prefix option changes date to profile.
So this is better than the ##%$^*& html_options hash, which, despite using rails for 5 years now, I cannot seem to get right without five tries :-).
Oh Rails, how I love you, yet at the same time am sure glad Stack Overflow is around to help us all understand your delightful idiosyncrasies!
This select_year function is totally screwy.
Here is finally what works:
<%= form_for(#user) do |f| %>
<%= select_year current_user.birth_year, { :prompt => "Year",
:start_year => Time.zone.now.year - 13,
:end_year => Time.zone.now.year - 80,
:field_name => :birth_year,
:prefix => :user },
class:"form-control" %>
<% ... %>
it aught to be like this in rails:
<%= f.select_year :birth_year, { :prompt => "Year",
:start_year => Time.zone.now.year - 13,
:end_year => Time.zone.now.year - 80},
class:"form-control" %>
