Hi everyone, hope someone can help…
I’m working on an app, one function of which is to store a list of
gigs for a band. I’m using datebalks as my datepicker in a form in my
app, then run the result through Chronic to convert the natural
language date to datetime in a before_save def in my Gig model. This
is working perfectly on my local development machine, but when I try
to run it from my account hosted at Dreamhost it does not. I don’t
receive any errors, but ‘NULL’ is being saved in the Date column in my
MYSQL table. The rest of the data saves correctly. I have tested
Chronic from the console on Dreamhost and it works without a hitch,
but I have tried several different methods of using it within my app,
and it’s like nothing at all happens.
Has anyone got any suggestions? Also, am I making this task more
difficult than it needs to be? Is there an easier way of getting a
natural language date from datebalks to save into MYSQL without
something like Chronic? It seems to be like it should be a pretty
common task, but I couldn’t find any info anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
