[SOLVED] don't know if it's the best solution, but it worked... changed the date text_fields to text_field_tag, on output , set the value in the controller, with I18n and local format >> @start_shooting_date = I18n.l( @project[:start_shooting_date], :format => >> "%d/%m/%Y")
then on input , set the attribute value from the form field in the controller, with I18n and local format >> @project = Project.new(params[:project]) # on create >> @project.attributes = params[:project] # on update >> @project[:start_shooting_date] = >> I18n.l(params[:start_shooting_date].to_date, :format => "%d/%m/%Y") >> if @project.save this way, the dates are correctly saved in the DB with the standard :db format but input/output in the form is in local format "dd/mm/yyyy" ( also defined like this in localized DatePicker -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
