Implement the DatetimePickerInput of formtastic 2.2.1

[PaulKlumpp]

Formtastic 2.2.1 generates the base to have a calendar style Date and Time picker.
Currently, activeadmin 0.4.4, uses formtastic 2.1.1, which only provides a Date picker.

Please CSS-gurus over at activeadmin, implement a DateTime picker as well! :)

If you update ActiveAdmin: gem 'activeadmin', :git => 'git://github.com/gregbell/active_admin.git', then you can use Formtastic 2.2.1, in which case you can probably just use f.input :my_attribute, :as => datepicker no?

As said, :as => :datepicker works great with formtastic 2.1.1 and activeadmin 0.4.4 that is not from git.

The feature request is about a :as => :datetimepicker that formtastic 2.2.1 would provide - but activeadmin does not use it yet.
To be sure, I tested activeadmin from git and formtastic 2.2.1 - but :as => :datepicker does not support time selection.

Ah, I see, the necessary JS and CSS is missing.

Is there an update on this? Facing the same issue, needing a good fix, infact I want to be able to use the 'datepicker' on a form_tag !!!

Hi james, do you know which css and js files are needed? thanks in advance

[seanlinsley]

Formtastic just builds the HTML5 markup for this, but just about all browsers today don't have acceptable support for this. Unless someone wants to suggest a JS alternative, this feature is going to have to wait.

If you're looking to have more user-friendly inputs for datetime attributes, TimeSplitter lets you easily split datetime fields into datepicker and time inputs. I adapted this gem from SplitDatetime, which was a bit buggy and was broken in Rails 4. I'm using SplitDatetime in a couple projects now, and it works great with AA.
