In place edit for date field

Rails
1

Hi

I am newbie for rails. I developed a single page with three fields.
The fields are name, content and created_on

I have installed the calendar_date_select plugin.

I am using in-place edit for all the fields.

If i change the name and content in-place editing , if i pressed ok,
it stored into my database.

But I can’t able to store the date. How can i do that as in-place edit
with calendar_date_select.

The following code snippet for show.rhtml page

Name: <%= in_place_editor_field :page, :name %>
Content: <%= in_place_editor_field :page, :content %>
Created_on: <%= calendar_date_select :page, :created_on %>

<%= link_to ‘Back’, :action => ‘list’ %>

Please anyone help me to solve this problem. is there any help pages
and manual guide for in-place edit for date.

Thanks in advance

Hi Basha,

The fields are name, content and created_on

You need to pick a different name for the created_on field. See
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/MagicFieldNames for more on why.

Best regards,

Hi,

I changed created_on field to createdon.

<%= calendar_date_select :page, :createdon %>

I can change the date using that datepicker control, it displayed in
textfield.

But it does not to my database. I just refresh the page , It always
show the previous date value.

I tried like this also <%= in_place_editor_field :page, :createdon, <
%= calender_date_select :page, :createdon %>

I guess i am wrong, is that anything i am missing?
