Input date in different format

Hey there,

I would like to be able to enter dates in a few different formats. As
well as the standard 2006-01-01 format I want to be able to enter it in
m/d/yy format (eg 1/1/06 for 2006-01-01), and d mmm yy (eg 1 Jan 06).
What’s the simplest way to do this? I had a go at changing
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.string_to_date, and that
seems to work, but I’m not sure if it is the best way. Anyone done
this or got any pointers?

Cheers, -Jonny.
