Newbie that I am in Rails, I thought I was missing something basic. I'm trying to develop a booking application for the photo studio I work for. Most of our assignments are only a few hours long. Few span multiple days. I am happy to use a datetime object for when an assignment starts, but I'm astonished that I can't find a way to set a time exclusive of a date for when it ends. For example - a hypothetical assignment might be "Monday, May 5, 2008 from 10AM - 3:45PM". Up until the 3:45PM part a standard datetime entry in the database is perfect. But I can't believe I can't use a form helper to just set an hour/minute end time. I didn't find the "dummy date" to be 2000-01-01 though - my experiments so far seem to indicate that the current date is tacked onto the time. That means that in the example I gave above what is really being stored in the database is basically this (given that I am writing this on March 28, 2008): "Monday, May 5, 2008 from 10AM - Friday, March 28, 2008 3:45PM" That's nuts! Anyway - if I'm missing something obvious maybe someone can point me in the right direction. And if in fact this is not currently implemented in Rails I sure hope Uwe and Rebecca come up with a solution pretty quickly! Steve I am *so* pleased to have stumbled across this discussion.

This is definately overdue. I am seriously thinking of starting a project on this, but I really don't want to duplicate other efforts. I am thinking of duplicating the design of the TimeAndMoney project on SourceForge ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/timeandmoney/ ). It covers TimePoint, CalendarDate, TimeOfDay, Duration, intervals, and a few others. TimePoint is equal to Time in Ruby. The project would implement the base classes, and separate mappers for ActiveRecord. I need help to research existing projects to avoid duplicate efforts, and testing with real-world usage. Any developers are of course welcome to join. Anyone interrested in participating? Hi!
