help with "undefined method `stringify_keys!''" please

This is probably some dumb mistake on my part, but I''m not seeing it.

I have a _simple_ app that I''m playing with.  In this scenario I have a
meeting that I want to add agenda items to.  When I click the submit
button in this form I get a "stringify keys" error.

I''d appreciate it if someone could point out my error.  What
tools/practices do you use to trouble shoot these kinds of problems?

the error ======================================================(enter "New
Agenda Item" in the text box)
the error ======================================================
 NoMethodError in MeetingsController#addagendaitem

undefined method `stringify_keys!'' for "New Agenda
Item":String

Re: help with "undefined method `stringify_keys!''" please

Hi.

in the addagendaitem method, you try to create a new object (create
method) while transfering just a string to it (params[:name]).

create expects to get an attributes hash and to stringify it''s keys for
the column names.
i suggest you expand your code into more lines and create a new item,
setting it''s values and then saving.

you can also make your form in a way in which it will send an hash as
the object (ex. "item" => { "name"=> "kof",
"amount" => "2"})
this will enable you for doing Example.create(params[:item])

Hope this helps.

Re: help with "undefined method `stringify_keys!''" please

Thanks,

breaking it out into separate calls (create, initialize, save, add to
meeting) works.

The coding pattern I used was based on what I saw in the "15 minute
blog in Rails" video.  I must have missed a concept there somehow.
I''ll have to experiment and see if I can get a better bearing on this.
