how do I get a default date+time entry in my formtastic form

Question

I hope you can help me. Many thanks. I want to get a default value for both inputs.

<% semantic_form_for @post do |form| %>  
  <% form.inputs do %>   
    <%= form.input :date %>  
    <%= form.input :time,  :hint => 'enter time'  %>

:start_year or :default doesn't work here.

In your controller you can do:

@post.date = Date.today
@post.time = Time.now
