Question

im trying to declare some virtual attributes that will be used to combine date and time together given me date time, though i keep getting the following error. as you can see from the code examples below, how im setting the attributes, and what information im passing through to them.

ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error in SchedulesController#create

{"utf8"=>"✓",


"authenticity_token"=>"j4V6DAqK5U/+ZGaSKDlrEoOBqXu3pEq/FM51ingi2sg=",
 "schedule"=>{"event"=>"1",
 "result_id"=>"",
 "date"=>"04/11/2012",
 "arrival_time"=>"08:00 PM",
 "time"=>"08:00 PM",
 "duration"=>"1800",
 "location_id"=>"11",
 "selected_players"=>["",
 "41",
 "38"],
 "team_id"=>"1",
 "opponent_id"=>"1",
 "home_or_away"=>"Home"},
 "commit"=>"Save Event"}

controller

    # POST /schedules
  # POST /schedules.json
  def create
    params[:schedule].delete(:date)
    params[:schedule].delete(:time)
    @user = User.find(current_user)

    @players = User.where(:team_id => current_user[:team_id]).all
    params[:schedule][:selected_players].compact
    #params[:schedule][:selected_players].reject!{|selected_players| selected_players==""}
    #@availabilities = @user.availabilities.create(:unique_id => params[:schedule][:id])

    @schedule = Schedule.new(params[:schedule])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @schedule.save
        #Notifier.event_added(@user,@schedule).deliver
        format.html { redirect_to(schedules_url,
                                  :notice => "#{event_display_c(@schedule.event)} vs #{@schedule.opponent.name} was successfully created.") }
        format.json { render :json => @schedule, :status => :created, :location => @schedule }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
        format.json { render :json => @schedule.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

model

class Schedule < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :location
  belongs_to :opponent
  belongs_to :team
  belongs_to :result
  has_many :availabilities, :dependent => :destroy

  attr_accessible :location_id, :user_id, :opponent_id, :datetime, :score_for, :score_against, :event,
                  :team_id, :home_or_away, :arrival_time, :duration, :selected_players, :result_id

  attr_accessor :date, :time

figured this out for myself, just added the fields in the database in the end
