date_Select help

Rails
1

Hi,

I am using date_select for when a post is being submitted. This is the
tag i use in my view,

<%= date_select(“post”, “date”, :order => [:month, :day])%>

However this outputs

this is probably the way its meant to be, but i cant get it to submit it
to the db colum, date.
Is there a way of getting it to output

?

Thanks Will

The :prefix parameter sets the name. From the documentation:

:prefix - overwrites the default prefix of “date” used for the select
names. So specifying “birthday” would give birthday[month] instead of
date[month] if passed to the select_month

method.
