Do you have the plugin parser switched on?

Hi,

Thanks for this great gem.

I have a little problem using it, but it could be implementation error. Basically, when people enter a 2 digit year, for example 1/1/86, it keeps gets saved as 0086-1-1. I can't seem to get the century in there. I have played with the initializer file, and uncommented this line:
config.parser.ambiguous_year_threshold = 30

but nothing.

Am I missing something?

I'm using ruby 1.8.7 and rails 3.0.7.

Thank you!

If you are using select helpers then you need to turn on the plugin extension which uses the parser.

config.enable_multiparameter_extension!

If you are using a text field, then you need to override the writer method for the attribute in the model. In the custom writer method use the parser directly before the built-in ActiveRecord parsing methods do it for you. See the Timeliness gem for how to use the parser http://github.com/adzap/timeliness
