Rails - Nov 2005 - override form data

would anyone be willing to provide a code sample demonstrating how to
override form field data, or simply the best way and place to access
it before action is taken on it? A link to an example would be great
as well.

thanks,
rich

If I understood what you meant correctly, then something like this 
should work:

class MyController < ApplicationController

  before_filter :convert_timezone, :only => [ :create ]

  def create
    # here @params[:timezone] is already an instance of TimeZone
  end

  def convert_timezone
    return unless @params[:timezone]
    @params[:timezone] = TimeZone.new(@params[:timezone])
  end
end

Hope that helps
