I am using datetime_select to get the date and time from the user to
execute a certain program (details unrelevant). What I need to do is
to take certain parts from datetime_select and manipulate/use them.
In my view
----------------------------------------
<% form_for(@schtask) do |f| %>
<p>
Scheduled Time<br/>
<%=h f.datetime_select(:schtime, :prompt => {:month =>
''Select
month'', :day => ''Select day'', :hour =>
''Select hour'', :minute =>
''Select minute''}, :start_year => Time.now.year, :order
=>
[:month, :day, :year, :hour, :minute], :minute_step => 5)%>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit ''Create'' %>
</p>
<% end %>
My attempt to get the :day parameter from datetime_select in the
controller
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def schedule
@schtask = Schtask.find(params[:id])
@day = params[''schtime(3i)''] #this results in a nil
#@day = @schtask.schtime.day
end
Note: schtime parameter is a datetime type in the database
I''d appreciate any help
Thanks,

If you still can''t work it out break into your code using ruby_debug and have a look at params to see what it consists off. I think you will find that schtime is inside schtask in the params hash. If you have not used ruby_debug have a look at the rails guide on debugging. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I tried doing @day = @schtask.schtime(3i), but the RadRails IDE is not reading the parenthese and 3i as part of schtime. I''ll try ruby_debug... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
