What makes you think they are? The parameters are there.

What version of Ruby/Rails are you running?

hi

because of this:

def create

p params[:event].nil?

p params[:event][:name]

p params[:event][:from_date]

results in:

false

""

nil

ENV

/ruby-1.9.3-p194@my_gemset

first i thought it has something to do with gem decent_exposure, but i have disabled that again...

p params.inspect would be more generally useful...

Again, what version of Rails?

And is there a reason to be using such an old Ruby?

You're using the f.label and date_select helpers.  Try using f.date_select ?

The date is not sent as a single attribute, but rather one per dropdown that date_select sends (thus from_date(1i) etc).

When those attributes are assigned to your model, they are combined into a single object by ActiveRecord.

You can either check for the subparts explicitly, or move the "default to today" behavior to the model instead.

hi

thx for all.

the reason why i asked is because some code i have used from the internet was checking: params[:event][:from_date].empty?  , but mine was always nil (as above). after assigning the params to a new model and checking then fixed it for me.
