Shauna,
Any classes/modules you add to your app/model or lib directories are
accessible from any of your models (and your controllers and views).
So you could add a class like this:
Class DateToolbox def self.convert_date(d) ... end end
Then from any model you can call DateToolbox.convert_date.
A slightly more complicated but cleaner approach would be to override
or augment the simple_date_select plugin with your conversion
routine. Here is a simple example of adding a method to Ruby's built-
in String class:
class String def hello "hello #{self.to_s}" end end
"aaron".hello => hello aaron
Aaron
