Sorry about that

It seems as though it only goes from 0-23.

You can define your own select_hour (my_select_hour) and basically:

209: def my_select_hour(datetime, options = {})

210: val = datetime ? (datetime.kind_of?(Fixnum) ? datetime : datetime.hour) : ‘’

211: if options[:use_hidden]

212: hidden_html(options[:field_name] || ‘hour’, val, options)

213: else

214: hour_options =

215: 0.upto(23) do |hour|

216: hour_options << ((val == hour) ?

217: %(#{leading_zero_on_single_digits(hour)}\n) :

218: %(#{leading_zero_on_single_digits(hour)}\n)

219: )

220: end

221: select_html(options[:field_name] || ‘hour’, hour_options, options)

222: end

223: end

Change 217/218 to read something like

%(#{ (hour == 0 ? 12 : ( hour > 12 ? hour - 12 : hour )) } #{( hour >= 12 ? “PM” : “AM”)}\n) :

%(>#{ (hour == 0 ? 12 : ( hour > 12 ? hour - 12 : hour )) } #{( hour >= 12 ? “PM” : “AM”)}\n)
