I have a form on a page _add\_flight.rhtml -_  
\<%=form\_tag({:controller=\>“local\_flights”,:action=\>“shared”},  
{:id=\>“add\_flight”, :method=\>“post”})%\>  
…  
\<%=submit\_tag(“Add your Flight Request”)%\>

Then,\* in controller - \*  
def shared  
\_flt = params[:fltAvailable]  
if !\_flt.blank?  
@flt = SharedLocalFlight.new(\_flt)  
@flt.save  
end  
@fltSharedList = SharedLocalFlight.find(:all)  
end

> > This seems to be getting called and then shared.rhtml gets rendered

However, record doesn’t get saved to table. There is no error msg in  
development.log.

In Shared controller, I rendered params.yaml to see where the issue is -

— !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess  
commit: List your Flight  
action: shared  
fltAvailable: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess  
from\_airport: BFI  
cost\_type: Cost per person

num\_seats: “3”  
estimated\_flying\_time: “1:00”  
estimated\_cost: “45”  
model\_name: “”  
return\_time: 9:00 AM  
description: lslkdslks  
mfr\_name: “”

from\_time: 9:00 AM  
return\_date: “2008-04-16”  
from\_date: “2008-04-11”  
to\_airport: HQM  
aircraft\_id: “73838”  
flight\_type: One Way

controller: local\_flights

I still can’t figure out the issue. I will really appreciate if you  
can help spot any discrepancy.
