Undefined method using update_attributes?

Rails
1

I have the following code in my controller to update some data;

      dd = DueDate.find(@sales_order.due_date.id)
      dd.update_attributes = params[:DueDate]

But I get the following error when I try to run it?

 undefined method `update_attributes=' for #<DueDate:0x45b6040>

What’s going on here? update_attributes is part of active record,
right?

I’d appreciate any help I can get…

Thanks!

I just tried the following and it worked:

      dd = DueDate.update(@sales_order.due_date.id,

params[:DueDate])

Why does the update_attributes method not work?

It sure is! But, #update_attributes= is not.

dd.update_attributes(params[:DueDate])

dd.update_attributes(params[:DueDate])

I think the line above should be dd.update_attributes(:duedate =>
params[:DueDate]). You have to specify the field to update i think.
