How can change format date in a text field?

Question

I want change format date in a textfield in my form, but show this error

undefined method `strftime' for :fecha:Symbol

This is my code

<%= f.text_field :fecha.strftime("%d/%m/%Y") %>

any suggestion?

Answer 1

try this

<%= f.text_field :fecha, :value => @object.facha.strftime("%d/%m/%Y") %>

@object will be the object for which you are creating a form

for eg

<%= form_for @object %>
