Add option to set the default hour / minute of the picker (rather than using the current time)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

set a default time for new dates, for example calendar would default to 5pm
instead of current time.

something like this would be nice:

<%= calendar_date_select :mode, :due_date,
:default_hour=>"17",:default_minute=>"0" %>

sorry, this isn't a defect.

This is a good idea - setting the time to "now" isn't very helpful.  It could 
likely be accomplished with a single 
default Date/Time option.

Here is how we have tweaked calendar_date_select to use default_hour and 
default_min :

in vendor/plugins/calendar_date_select/lib/calendar_date_select.rb
in calendar_date_select_process_options(options)
add : :default_hour, :default_min to the key list (line 116)

in the calendar_date_select.js file
in parseDate
replace :
    if (isNaN(this.date)) { this.date = new Date(); }
by :
    if (isNaN(this.date))
    {
        this.date = new Date();
        if(this.options.get("default_hour")) {
          this.date.setHours(this.options.get("default_hour"));
          this.date.setMinutes(0);
        }
        if(this.options.get("default_min")) {
          this.date.setMinutes(this.options.get("default_min"));
        }
    }
