Dates defined chosen with date_select are not coming through once the
form is submitted.
I have this in a form:
<%= date_select ‘search’, ‘date_start’, :include_blank => true %>
<%= date_select ‘search’, ‘date_end’ , :include_blank => true %>
However, when I submit the form params[:search][:date_start] is nil. I
have other text fields that are coming through just fine. Somehow rails
isn’t reassembling the date object. Surely I dont have to create the
date object by hand. My log shows the pieces of the date are indeed in
the request parameters.
So what do I need to do to actually access the date passed from the
form?
parameters hash form log
Parameters: {“search”=>{“date_start(1i)”=>“2006”, “date_start(2i)”=>“5”,
“date_start(3i)”=>“4”, “date_end(1i)”=>“2006”, “first_name”=>"",
“login”=>“sq”, “date_end(2i)”=>“5”, “last_name”=>"", “email”=>"",
“date_end(3i)”=>“6”}, “commit”=>“Search”, “action”=>“search”,
“controller”=>“admin/orders”}
