Question

In my controller I pass date from method create to method index. How can I pass it back from index to create (for new create)?

 def index  
   @date = params[:date].
 end

 def create
    <<<NEED to get @date from index here>>>
    @entry = Entry.new(:input => input, :user => current_user, :time => @date)
   respond_to do |format|
     if @entry.save
       format.html { redirect_to(:action => "index", :edit => true) }
     end
   end

Why do you need to get it from index?

Keep it in a hidden form variable and submit it, etc. You can’t get it from index.
