Hi,
I''ve got what seems to be a pretty simple problem. I can''t
seem to get
the values from a select_time into my database TIME field correctly.
What''s the proper way to take the hour and minute hash, and prepare it
correctly for saving? I imagine it is something very straightforward.
I''m currently trying something probably pretty silly:
@event = Event.new(@params[:event])
@event.start = @params[:start].values.join(":") + ":00"
@event.finish = @params[:finish].values.join(":") + ":00"
I''ve also tried just throwing Rails the hash''s to see if it
would handle
it automatically like it does with date_selects... that didn''t work of
course! :)

I got annoyed with how that and a couple other parts of the date helper work and submitted a patch that creates a time_select that works just like the date_select in terms of handling. ( Patch also fixed a couple bugs ) I have it as a lib that you could just install and use it that patch gets incorporated... If you want, contact me off list and I''ll send it to you.

Thanks for the response Sean. I would like to see the patch that you''ve done. I did get things partially working using time_select: t = Time.new @event = Event.new(@params[:event]) @event.start = Time.local(t.year, t.mon, t.day, @params[:start][:hour], @params[:start][:minute]) @event.finish = Time.local(t.year, t.mon, t.day,@params[:finish][:hour], @params[:finish][:minute]) @event.save But this still doesn''t address time_select not setting the selected="" value when editing an existing record.> From: Sean T Allen <sean-5W9FBhQXBOtBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org> > I got annoyed with how that and a couple other parts of the date helper work > and submitted a patch that creates a time_select that works just like > the date_select > in terms of handling.
