Hello all,
I've posted regarding this topic previously...
I'm using a case statement to calculate age based on the age unit chosen by the user. It is working great inside the web application, but for any age less than a year, it saves a zero to the database. My age field in the DB is an int, so I can't figure out why it is doing the correct calculation in the model, but then returning a zero in the save? The only thing I'm doing different is on the year calculation, so maybe I need some variation of that for the rest of the units? As always, any and all help and suggestions are appreciated!!
Code:
unit = read_attribute(:ageunit_id) m = read_attribute(:dob) if not m.nil? if not dod.nil? seconds = dod - m s = seconds.to_i
case unit
# minutes when 316 minutes = s / 60
# hours when 315 minutes = s / 60 hours = min / 60
# days when 314 minutes = s / 60 hours = minutes / 60 days = hours / 24
# months when 313 minutes = s / 60 hours = minutes / 60 days = hours / 24 months = days / 30
# years when 312 minutes = s / 60 hours = minutes / 60 days = hours / 24 months = days / 30 years = dod.year - dob.year-(dob.to_time.change(:year => dod.year) > dod ? 1 : 0)
end
