Re: [Rails] Re: date_select -> params ok but nil
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.

--> why are my event date attributes nil/blank?
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.

[Rails] Re: date_select -> params ok but nil
You're using the f.label and date_select helpers. Try using f.date_select ?
