Question

I am using calendar_date_select for the date in my application..

<% calendar_date_select :start_date %>

I am using like this when the controller.action_name=="new".

For the controller.action_name=="edit" I am displaying the date like this

<% calendar_date_select :start_date, @date, :pop_up => "force" %>

Here @date means start_date value, I am retrieving from database, using as @date.

Actually date is displaying, and I can edit the date.

But for particular stage I should not edit the date. I tried to search calendar_date_select non-editable. Is there any way not to edit the date using calendar_date_select.

Please suggest me If there are any other alternatives.. for this..

Answer 1

Don’t use the calendar_date_select for this, use a normal text_field_tag:

<%= text_field_tag(:start_date, @date, {readonly: true}) %>

That should create a text field with your @date value and mark the text field as read-only.
