I have been trying to setup an application to use uk date formats as
default. The way you used to do this was via an initialiser:
Date::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(:default => "%d/%m/%Y")
Time::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(:default => "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M")
I believe you can also alter the en.yml file to allow this as well:
en:
date:
formats:
default: "%d/%m/%Y"
After doing this the console Date.today.to_s shows the date in the
correct format "27/6/2011" however I cannot get the forms to use this
format as default. The form text_fields continue to have the yyyy-mm-
dd format.
The workaround I have found is to use
f.text_field :arrival_date, :value => f.object.arrival_date.to_s but
this just seems wrong.
Any ideas?
