Hi Ruby comunity!
I made a virtual date attribute to input date into a textfield.
Here is my entry from models\tbl_data.rb:
def date_test_string
date_test.strftime('%d.%m.%Y')
end
def date_test_string=(date_test_str)
self.date_test = Date.strptime(date_test_str, '%d.%m.%Y')
rescue ArgumentError
@date_test_invalid = true
end
def validate
errors.add(:date_test, "is invalid") if @date_test_invalid
end
My Problem is, when I try to input no date (empty textfield) the
validation throws an error --> invalid date.
When I disable "def validate" there is no error-message but the new
emtpty date will not be saved into the database, the old date (like
01.01.2009) appears again in the "show" page.
Do somebody knows where I did go wrong?
Thanks ahead for every suggestion!!
Regs,
Hermann
