datetime_select(object_name, method, options = {}, html_options = {})

Returns a set of select tags (one for year, month, day, hour, and minute) pre-selected for accessing a specified datetime-based attribute (identified by method) on an object assigned to the template (identified by object).

If anything is passed in the html_options hash it will be applied to every select tag in the set.

Examples

# Generates a datetime select that, when POSTed, will be stored in the article variable in the written_on
# attribute.
datetime_select("article", "written_on")

# Generates a datetime select with a year select that starts at 1995 that, when POSTed, will be stored in the
# article variable in the written_on attribute.
datetime_select("article", "written_on", :start_year => 1995)

# Generates a datetime select with a default value of 3 days from the current time that, when POSTed, will
# be stored in the trip variable in the departing attribute.
datetime_select("trip", "departing", :default => 3.days.from_now)

# Generate a datetime select with hours in the AM/PM format
datetime_select("article", "written_on", :ampm => true)

# Generates a datetime select that discards the type that, when POSTed, will be stored in the article variable
# as the written_on attribute.
datetime_select("article", "written_on", :discard_type => true)

# Generates a datetime select with a custom prompt. Use <tt>:prompt => true</tt> for generic prompts.
datetime_select("article", "written_on", :prompt => {:day => 'Choose day', :month => 'Choose month', :year => 'Choose year'})
datetime_select("article", "written_on", :prompt => {:hour => true}) # generic prompt for hours
