Save only inserts null instead of actual values

Hi,

whenever I try to save my form, rails only enters null values in my
database. I’m using sqlite, I thought that sqlite might be the problem,
but the problem remains when I switched to mysql. Here is my code:

controller:
class CollectionController < ApplicationController
def new
@collection = Collection.new
end

def create
if request.get?
redirect_to :action => ‘new’
elsif request.post?
@collection = Collection.new(params[:collection])
if @collection.save
flash[:notice] = ‘Collection was successfully created.’
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
else
render :action => ‘new’
end
end
end
end

model:
class Collection < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :subcollections

attr_accessor :name, :description, :index_date
end

database.yml:
development:
adapter: sqlite3
dbfile: db/dev.db

development.log - after submitting data with the form

I really don’t see it, I really don’t. It is probably something very
stupid! All help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Nick
