Question

I am seeking for tested date & time picker that just works with active admin 0.5.0.

I am digging for hours now, I’ve read dozens of existing discussions on stackoverflow and many other resources found in the net.

I’ve encountered problems with virtually any datetime picker script. For instance, activeadmin’s wiki page Combine datetime picker with active_admin no longer apply to 0.5.0. Result looks like this.

Some of them suffer from CSS inheritance – active admin applies a lot of styling, and if picker’s author had not avoided that, it requires manually styling indefinite amount of CSS properties just to revert changes.

I cannot rely on such scripts. It is not because I am lazy, or I am unable to fix them. There’s just too big risk of breaking such hacks in case of updating any of dependent gems/libraries related to active admin.

Anyone can recommend working solution that won’t suffer from such problems?

I’ve just created a gem for that:
