Hello Everyone,
I am trying to use the date_select() form helper method per AWDWROR. In
the DB the column "entry_date" is a datetime.
So using the below form, in part
============ app/views/entry/index.rhtml ==<tr>
<th>date</th><td><%= date_select("entry_date",
:start) %></td>
</tr>
how do I get it into the AR instance?
============ app/controllers/EntryController.rb ======def create
@entry = Entry.new(
:entry_date => params[:entry_date]["start"],
:task_id => params[:task][:id],
:description => params[:description]
);
end
This gives me "entry_date cannot be null" from mysql.
The backtrace/debug dump on the error page mentioned that
Parameters: ....
"entry_date"=>{"start(1i)"=>"2007",
"start(2i)"=>"4",
"start(3i)"=>"25"}
where did that (1i), (2i) stuff come from? what does it mean?
In any case I was hoping to use a DHTML calendar pop-up for this date
entry, but wanted to get this working for the prototype. So if you can
help I appeciate it
thanks
Sam
