Question

I’ve been trying to make this calendar_date_picker to work for more
than two days, but without success.

I’ve tried installing it as a gem:

1. gem install calendar_date_select
2. include it in the gemfile, then run bundle install
3. Since rake calendar:install does NOT work… I manually placed each
   file that I downloaded from the github into the asset repository
   (rails 3.2) OR public folder (rails 3.0.5).
4. I have placed this line in the environment.rb file:
   config.gem “calendar_date_select”, :lib =>”calendar_date_select”
5. I have included the following in the application header:
   <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
   <%= calendar_date_select_includes “blue” %>
6. I tried testing it in my views, but I always end up with this:

undefined method `calendar_date_select_tag’ for #<#:
0x3ec49a8>

21: <%= link_to ‘Edit’, edit_order_path(order) %> 22:
<%= link_to ‘Destroy’, order, :confirm => ‘Are you sure?’,
:method => :delete %>

23:

24: <%= calendar_date_select_tag “e_date” %>

25: <% end %>

26:

1. I’ve hacked into the lib/calendar_date_select.rb and changed /
   public into /app/assets for rails 3.2.
   For some reason, it doesn’t recognize the calendar_date_select method.

Could someone please help me. Thanks in advance.

It better to use jquery instead of using thirdparty calender on 3.2 . Here is one of the links
