Rails 3 jquery date picker date not saving to database

Question

When I submit my form I can see the date being sent to in the post. However, It doesn\'t save the date. If I do a date check it says it is not in the proper format. Here

Answer 1

Kinda of hacky but made a helper the set things straight when I know I am giving the server dates in the mm-dd-yy format

def convert_to_y_m_d(date)
  new_date = date.split("-")[2] + "-" + date.split("-")[0] + "-" + date.split("-")[1]
  new_date
end
