I’m trying to figure out how to use the datebox_engine in an edit view.
I’m still new at this, so my terminology might be slightly off here;
please bare with me 
I can drop datebox in to my _form.rhtml, per the README’s instructions,
with
<%= date_box %>
And by adding
<% @dateField = @work_item.date %>
immediately before the date_box line in my _form.rhtml, I can set the
default value to be the “date” attribute of the object I am editing.
So far so good.
Where I’m getting stuck, however, is figuring out how to set the input
name for the date_box. By default, it wants to be “dateField”, and
according to the README, I can change this in my environment.rb with
module DateboxEngine
config :elementId, "someNewValue"
end
(Actually, the README states this is how to change the input ID.
However, it appears that the input name changes to match the ID.)
However, I want the input name to be “work_item[date]”. If I do
config :elementId, "work_item[date]"
I then get:
`@work_item[date]' is not allowed as an instance variable name
Extracted source (around line #7):
4: <p><label for="work_item_date">Date</label><br/>
5:
6:
7: <%= date_box %></p> 8: 9: <p><label
for=“work_item_hours”>Hours
10: <%= text_field ‘work_item’,
‘hours’ %>

Is there something that I’m missing here?
Thanks in advance!
