Hi there,
Functions like select_day, select_month, or select_year by defaults have a field name of "date[day]", "date[month]", and "date[year]" respectively. Well, I want to change it to be as simply as "day", "month", and "year". Do rails have a built in function to do that?
In the documentation, I found a :field_name option, but it does not meet my need (the format is still "date[field_name]").
Regards, Ang

Rails does that so it can reconstitute them into a date attribute properly.
If you really want three separate parameters then why not just use regular select_tag helpers and give them whatever names you want, rather than fiddling with overriding the behavior of the date_select helpers.

That's OK. I just want to make sure if that functionality is available. Thanks!
add options name… like → :name => ‘date[now]’
I know this thread is showing some age but if anyone else finds it looking for an answer I believe the solution is to use the :prefix option.
For example: select_day Time.now, :field_name => 'production_day', :prefix => 'film'
Produces: <select id="film_production_day" name="film[production_day]">
