turns out :type must be used internal to AR.. I changed to :accounttype and updated the table and everything worked.. AR knew it was an INT and saved it correctly!! maybe a standard of prepending internal symbols with the classname would eliminate collitions On Jan 3, 7:15 pm, spokra <spo...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> forgive me I''m a newbie... > > I''ve tried both > > params[:user][:type].to_i > params[:user][:type]=params[:user][:type].to_i > > neither work.. > > On Jan 3, 6:58 pm, "Ryan Bigg" <radarliste...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > > Indeed > > > On Jan 4, 2008 1:18 PM, spokra <spo...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > this would be in the controller in create and update then? > > > > On Jan 3, 6:44pm, "Ryan Bigg" <radarliste...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > params[:user][:type].to_i > > > > > All int''s submitted by fields are actually submitted as strings.

The problem is that you''re using the word ''type.''

Damn it, I should''ve noticed. Yes type is a reserved field in ActiveRecord.
