Hi im using ruby on rails, when i enter the date of birth on the years is just giving me from 2007 to 2012,
i have this command on my _form,html.erb (this is on the views), When im editing a client is when i want to ge the day of birth is just giving me 2007 to 2012.

   <div class="field">
     <%= f.label "Fecha de nacimiento:" %>
     <%= f.date_select :fecha_nacimiento %>
   </div>

Answer 1

You can use params to specify start_year and end_year of your select. Example:

<div class="field">
  <%= f.label "Fecha de nacimiento:" %>
  <%= f.date_select :fecha_nacimiento, :start_year => 1950, :end_year => (Time.now.year - 10) %>
</div>

Look at :end_year, I used Time.now.year - 10 because I assumed that the minimum age to register is 10 years old.
