Help, 1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes

Rails
1

Hi everyone!

I just started learning Ruby on Rails about a week ago for a school
project, and can’t seem to find a solution for something.

I have this inside the form inside of edit_albums.rhtml:
<%= start_form_tag :action=>‘proccess_edit_album’, :id=>@album.id %>
…
Release Date: <%= datetime_select(:album, :release_date, :start_year
=> 1960) %>

…

and inside the controller:
def edit_album
@album = Album.find(params[‘id’])
end

def proccess_edit_album
@album = Album.find(params[:id])
@album.update_attributes(params[:album])
if 1
redirect_to :action=> ‘list_albums’
else
render :action => ‘edit_album’, :id=>params[‘id’]
end
end

but it gives me an error message, i dont get why, and i can’t seem to
find a fix to it.

Can anyone help me? I’ll appreciate it! :wink:

Hi Trukin,

not an expert, but copy-pasting your error message might help.

i commented the html tag inside the template:
Release Date: <%= datetime_select(:album, :release_date, :start_year
=> 1960) %>

to

1960) %>
-- > and now it works fine, i think it has to do something with the array passed within the POST, or maybe something else, im not sure, if anyone knows why, can you please explain me? Thanks
