Saving dates

Hi having trouble saving dates in my form i have the following in the
view

<%= date_select("details", "open_date") %>

and i have

@exhibition.open_date = params[:details][:open_date]

and then

@exhibition.save


All the other values form (not seen here) get saved but not the dates.
What am i doing wrong ?

Did you put

<%= debug(params) %> into the view like askegg said?

what view?

The view of the page after the insert?
Of the view of the page where the user selects the date?

My intuition tells me that wont work because 
params[:details][:open_date] is likely a hash, not a date object.  I''m 
not entirely sure how (or where) rails does the magic conversion on the 
way in.

Note it''s only my intuituition, with nothing solid to back that up :-)

Re: Saving dates

I think Alan is right.  Rails is expected a date, but you are passing
it an array.

Use date_select in your form instead of an array of values.

<p>
  <label for="details_open_date">
    Date the exhibition opens:
  </label>
</p>
<p>
  <%= date_select("details", "open_date") %>
  <span style="color:red">
    *Required
  </span>
</p>
<p>
  <label for="details_close_date">
    Date the exhibition closes:
  </label>
</p>
<p>
  <%= date_select("details", "close_date") %>
  <span style="color:red">
    *Required
  </span>
</p>

Re: Saving dates

That is the correct usage, but your controller is trying to pull the
date submitted apart and force it into the database.
Since the date fields are named with the database field name you can
just use:

  Exhibition.create(params[:details])

instead of:

  @exhibition.open_date = params[:details][:open_date]
  @exhibition.save

If you want some error checking, you might want to try something like:

  @exhibition = Exhibition.new(params[:details])
  if @exhibition.save
    flash[:notice] = "Exhibition created"
    redirect_to :action => :index and return

Thanks askegg that was it. Rails needs you to send all the data at once
and not set it 1 by 1 like i was. I was not fully understanding how that
all worked. Now i do and i cant see myself making the same mistake
again.

Thanks for all your help with the posts.
