Question

I want to have a drop down time select that saves as a string but I keep getting the following exception: 1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes. Here is the code that I have written:

<%= f.time_select :appointment_time, :minute_step => 5, :ignore_date => true %>

When I submit the form I get the following values in a params hash

"appointment_time(4i)"=>"12", "appointment_time(5i)"=>"00" 

Is there any way to easily grab those two values and save the result as “12:00:00”?

Answer 1

I solved my problem by creating different columns for each value of the time as strings, and then joining everything together after creation. This is not the most elegant solution, but it works for my application
